Today we want to discuss TOP 5 tips to prevent injuries in sports practice.
It is known that physical exercises are good for health. Nevertheless, sports may lead to different kind of injuries if practiced wrong.
MK Boxing Gym encourages you to be safe while practicing.
We want to share a few things you should take into account while practicing that will help to prevent most of the injuries.
Mindfull boxing practice starts with:
- MOBILITY & STRETCHING
- MASSAGE
- NUTRITION
- PLANNING
- REST
MOBILITY & STRETCHING
A first and most important tip to prevent injuries in sports is a warm up. It is proven that increased joint and muscular mobility and flexibility will dramatically reduce the potential risk of injury. A range of mobility exercises will be a great start of any practice. Many people are now turning towards yoga, which is an extremely positive addition to their training regime.
At MK Boxing Gym we provide Core conditioning classes that are one of the most popular in our gym. The Core Conditioning class is meant to get the blood pumping, it focuses on body weight exercises and explosive movements to minimize injury and maximize results. You can join it almost everyday. The classes are led by an instructor and are offered at no additional fee.
MASSAGE
Tight muscles, bruises, and soft-tissue damage are common side-effects of intense training. Massage therapy is a good treatment that helps recovery from all side-effects and will reduce muscular inflammation, preventing any further trauma.
NUTRITION
You may think that your nutrition is not connected to your training, but it is.
The correct nutritional sources of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are the building blocks of every living tissue in the body. The correct nutrition feeds the blood, muscles and cells of the body, therefore keeping them healthy and functioning in an optimum manner. A healthy body is under less stress, therefore will recover and recharge, and ultimately be stronger and more stable, and able to cope with the demands of the training camp.
PLANNING
Plan your training both at the right time and when the body is ready and able to cope with the demands of that specific exercise. Sometimes the body needs progression in areas that are weak, and perhaps, more importantly, regression in areas that are working too hard and being placed under strain.
REST
Sometimes less is more. A fighter needs to rest and master the art of doing nothing to allow their body to recover.
Hope these tips will help you to stay safe while practicing.
