When you have a (sports) injury, you often feel frustrated and want to know where it all went wrong and what you can do to prevent it happening again. In many cases, it\u2019s down to the strain placed on the body. In other words, you\u2019re asking more of your body than it can cope with (its capacity).\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
Endurance vs. load on the body<\/b><\/h3>\n
Your body has a certain level of endurance. If the load exceeds that capacity, there is a greater risk of pain or injury. If we increase the workload gradually, the body\u2019s capacity will also increase gradually. However, if we increase the workload faster than the body can adapt, the risk of injury is greater.<\/span><\/p>\n If you drop a brick on your foot, the load is much greater than what your body can cope with, and there is no time to adapt. A less extreme example is someone who goes too far too fast when training. Think, for instance, of going from no training at all to doing a (high-intensity) workout every day. Once again, the load is greater than the body can cope with and, although it is not as sudden as the brick, the body still has no time to adapt. Stress, illness, poor nutrition or a lack of sleep also play a part here. This reduced capacity also makes us more vulnerable to injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, an injury is caused by making a wrong movement or, as mentioned earlier, overloading the body. An injury always has one or more causes, such as poor fitness, overweight, pelvic obliquity, and incorrect equipment when training. Of course, an injury can also occur acutely, as in the brick example.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are injured, try to temporarily reduce the strain on your body by taking a rest. But remember that during a prolonged period of rest, your body\u2019s capacity also decreases. As a result, it takes less strain to get injured again. This makes it necessary to gradually build up your training again until you\u2019re back to your previous level. The most important thing to remember is that, in the long term, a moderate amount of physical exertion is beneficial, as long as you bear in mind the time your body needs to adapt to it. When you do nothing, your body adapts by reducing its capacity. By gradually increasing your activity, your body adapts to it. If you do it too quickly, you\u2019ll get injured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Building up your fitness gradually is very important to prevent injuries.
