Whilst training or exercising, you are in fact putting your body through more than normal duress - no pain, no gain, is the mantra - so the likelihood of injury are more than normal as well.
A good trainer will point this out to the students, make them wear all the right protective gear and do warm up exercises before the real training session begins. However, this is not always enough and in some sports, like weight lifting, technique has to be excellent too.
Some of the dangers are more prevalent when people make a decision to cut corners and train at home without sufficient knowledge of safety procedures. This is the case of weight training, but also of jogging.and cycling.
Often inexpert joggers and cyclists will go out on the streets without the proper safety apparatus or under weather conditions where motorists can scarcely see them. Just last week, a paraplegic wheelchair racer was knocked into a river by a passing car while on a dawn training run.
Cycling on our busy roads has become a perilous sport and numerous motorists will admit to a close shave where they have not seen a cyclist until the last second. A cyclist should always wear a crash helmet to prevent head and spinal injuries.
It s crucial to wear the right shoes for whatever sport you are doing. It just will not do to buy a pair of trainers and wear them to the gym, out running and out clubbing as well. Running shoes will absorb shock waves that otherwise could injure your back, whereas boots for weight training will give more assistance to the ankles.
It is fairly natural to try to save money on a coach, but the time to do this is after you are aware of how to keep yourself safe and sound, not before. Having said that, exercising alone is always inadvisable in case something goes wrong.
Weight lifters sometimes miss the rack while bench pressing and joggers sometimes slip or get hit by a vehicle miles from anywhere.
If your child wants to train, make certain that it knows the risk of long term pain from back trauma that can so easily happen if weights are lifted in an incorrect fashion or if a jogger gets hit by a car because they could not be seen.
Swimming is another seemingly harmless sport, but one which causes injury and death each year because the swimmer has failed to observe fundamental safety measures like warming up before swimming in cold water, checking currents and waiting at least an hour after eating before going into the water.
The sports listed above are fairly fundamental, but numerous people are into what are known as extreme sports where the risks of back and other injuries are multiplied. Instances of these go from martial arts, through hang gliding to skateboarding.
