Top tips to prevent sports injuries

There are a number of ways you can prevent sports injuries. Here’s just a few...

Warm up slowly and thoroughly before any sporting activity.
Don’t exercise too soon after eating.
Invest in well designed and appropriate equipment, such as proper shoes for jogging, tennis or badminton.
Learn how to take your own pulse and don’t exert yourself beyond your fitness level.
Wear a heart rate monitor if you want to be extra precise.
Stop if you feel pain, this isn’t normal.
Make sure you are exercising on a good, well maintained surface. Avoid jogging on uneven roads as this can cause muscle and ligament strains.
