Warm-Up and
Stretching:

Engaging in warm-up exercises

is crucial to prepare the body
for physical activity. Proper
stretching before exercise
helps improve flexibility and
reduces the risk of muscle
strains and sprains.
Protective
Equipment:

Wearing appropriate
protective gear is
essential for injury
prevention.
 Proper
Technique and
Form:

Using correct technique and form

during sports activities is crucial for
reducing the risk of injuries. When
athletes perform movements with
proper technique and form, they
optimize their body mechanics and
alignment, ensuring that muscles,
joints, and other structures are
functioning optimally and efficiently.
First Aid and
Emergency
Response:

First aid knowledge enables

individuals to provide immediate
care to injured athletes before
professional medical help arrives.
Prompt and appropriate first aid
can help alleviate pain, prevent
further injury or complications, and
promote faster recovery.
 Rest and
Protect:

Rest the injured body part to

prevent further damage and
promote healing. Avoid
engaging in activities that
exacerbate the injury.
