Joint injuries - how to rebuild your fitness?

Adequate condition of the musculoskeletal system is essential for the body to work effectively and for the training plan to be carried out safely. Unfortunately, joint injuries may occur in some cases, which will result in the limitation of your mobility. How to rebuild your fitness after an injury? How to restore the former strength of joint connections?

Joint injuries – most common causes

There is no doubt that one of the main risk factors for joint injury is...exercise. Although sport is healthy, in the case of strength and endurance training there is a high chance of injuries to joint capsules and surfaces. This is especially true for beginners, who do not yet have sufficient knowledge and practical skills in terms of correct exercise technique. The use of heavy weights, training with an insufficient range of motionor adopting the wrong starting position increase the risk of overloading the musculoskeletal system, which can lead to more or less serious damage.

 

An equally common cause of joint injury is the lack of a properly performed warm-up before exercise. Although athletes and personal trainers often mention the important role of getting the body ready for the planned physical effort, many people still underestimate this aspect. Lack of time, laziness, insufficient knowledge of anatomy and physiology - these are just a few issues that can be considered the reason for omitting warm-up exercises from the training plan.

 

Poor musculoskeletal health and consequent joint injuries are an extremely common consequence of an ill-balanced diet. An eating plan poor in proteins, vitamins and minerals can certainly contribute to a decrease in the strength of joint connections. Furthermore, the consumption of large amounts of processed foods contributes to an intensification of oxidative stress and an increase in free oxygen radicals. The effect of this can be an increased chance of inflammatory reactions, which weaken the condition of joints and the entire musculoskeletal system.
