Some of the most important steps you can take include the following:
Proper sleep: Sleep is the most effective strategy that everyone can do to reduce their risk of injuries. Research has shown that people sleeping less than 6 hours a night are more likely to injure themselves. In comparison, sleeping 8-10 hours per night has the most significant effect on injury prevention. Strength training: Building strength has been shown to reduce injuries to muscles, tendons, and joints. Strengthening is one of the most effective strategies you can do to help stay injury-free. Nutrition matters: A scientifically-backed approach, like the Mediterranean Diet, helps provide the nutrition you need to recover from injury and reduce the risk of future injuries. Processed foods, high in sugar and fat, limit your body’s ability to heal and perform at a high level. Surprisingly, multiple research studies have concluded that stretching and flexibility are ineffective for injury prevention. The tightness you feel may indicate weaknesses or joint restrictions and not be related to the flexibility of your tissue. Stretching can feel good, and people like it, but other proven methods are more valuable than preventing injuries.
