Injury prevention

Injury risk can be reduced by:²

Warming up to start flexing the muscles and improve blood circulation
Using the correct technique
Having the right sports gear - clothing and shoes that fit properly will help prevent problems such as rubbing / chafing of the skin and blisters
Cooling down activities, including exercising at a gentler pace for five minutes to help waste products in the muscles dissipate, then stretching the muscle groups used in the activity.
