To help prevent injury each time you participate in a vigorous activity you should be sure to include a

proper warm-up and cool down routine. Stretching before and after exercise can help increase flexibility, improve range of motion, and prevent muscle strains and injuries. Additionally, wearing appropriate gear and equipment for your activity, staying hydrated, and listening to your body's signals are all important factors in injury prevention. It is also important to gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts to prevent overexertion and strain on your muscles and joints. Lastly, taking rest days and allowing your body time to recover is essential for injury prevention and overall health and performance.
