Athletes, and Management Of Fitness.

Athletics is a word derived from Greek word Athlan. It is said to be the father of all other games.

The activities like running, jumping and throwing something, etc. are normal and inborn activities of man.

One would think all sportsmen are incredibly fit and while that is true to a large extent, they are all prone to specific injuries depending on the respective sport as stresses of performance and competition adversely affect their health too

According to fitness consultants every athlete has had one or more issues that needs supervision: 
1.Muscle tears and tightness.
2.Ankle sprains.
3.Knee ligament injuries.
4.Stress fractures.
5 Groin and Back pain.

Certain individuals are more prone to specific problems owing to their genetics. At least a fifth of us have flat feet and knock kneedness. Pursuit of running sports, make these prone to ankle injuries and foot strains and also result in higher knee cruciate ligament injuries.

 It is necessary to educate parents and coaches to inspect children when they make choices for pursuing specific types of sports such that they can be directed into making the right choices in the beginning itself rather than suffer from repeated injuries.

The majority of youngsters who undertake competitive events work hard to train. However, during their sessions, they think of the muscle stretching period as relaxation time and end up not doing adequate stretches. 

This in turn makes way for greater injuries and tightness and is further reinforced by bad postures which children are increasingly developing due to rapid increase in use of electronic devices.

 Education about posture and stretches should be incorporated for adults at the workplace and for children at early school level as prevention is better than cure.

Certain defects in the hip or spine bones that are present since birth can also result in knee and back pain with muscle (hamstring) tightness. 

Diet and nutrition as well as regular rather than sporadic exercise are the best ways for increasing fitness. 

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts require a proper balance of exercise, rest, and nutrition to maintain fitness and performance while minimising the risk of injury:
1.Optimise Your Training Program.
2.Incorporate Resistance Training.
3.Prioritise Recovery.
4.Address Nutritional Needs.
5.Address Injury Prevention.

It's important to work with a qualified coach or trainer and to seek medical attention if you experience any pain or discomfort during your workouts Or training.
