Gymnasium

When exercising in gyms, injury prevention is crucial for a successful and safe workout. To avoid injuries to the lower limbs, specific warm-ups and wearing suitable footwear are essential. Maintaining correct posture during weightlifting exercises is essential to prevent back injuries, and strengthening the core contributes to lumbar stability. Avoiding overloads in shoulder exercises and including controlled movements to strengthen the shoulder stabilisers are important preventative measures. Variation in the types of exercises, avoiding excessive repetitions and including recovery days help prevent tendonitis and joint injuries. Performing exercises with adequate amplitude and asking for professional guidance to adjust technique are important for avoiding injuries. To prevent overtraining, it is essential to structure balanced training programmes and respect individual limits, including regular recovery periods. In short, a comprehensive approach, from warming up to variation in exercises and respect for limits, is essential for safe and effective practice in the gym environment.
