Basketball

Basketball, although exciting, can expose players to injuries, so prevention is key to ensuring safe practice. To avoid sprained ankles, it is essential to strengthen the muscles and wear suitable trainers. Knee injuries can be prevented with strengthening exercises and the use of knee pads. Muscle strains can be avoided with regular warm-ups and proper physical conditioning. Good posture and core exercises minimise back injuries. Strengthening the shoulder muscles and proper techniques prevent injuries in this area. Avoiding overtraining, respecting limits and including rest periods are crucial to preventing fatigue. To summarise, preventing basketball injuries involves strengthening, perfecting technical gestures and using the right equipment to ensure a safer and longer-lasting sport.
