Considerations about injury risk during sand training.
Reducing injuries
Any sport on any surface can cause injuries when performed with unsuitable technique. The original article recommends:
- An appropriate warm-up: choose stretches and movements relevant to the planned session.
- Gradual progression: begin at a comfortable, gentle pace and increase intensity as the body warms up.
- Correct technique: poor technique can reduce the stimulus to the intended muscles and increase injury risk.
- A cool-down: take time after the workout to return towards your resting state, including post-session stretching and a return to calm breathing.
