Whatever your favorite sport, you shouldn’t forget to warm up your muscles. If you neglect the warm-up (sometimes a little “warm-up” is also good), you can easily injure and cramp your muscles, stretch them or tear them. Because of these problems, you can completely forget about activity for more than a month. But there is also a risk for those who don’t exercise because if you make quick or unusual movements, the muscles can also get injured.
- Muscle spasms.
- Can be caused by poor muscle coordination during normal exertion or also by muscle overload due to heavy exertion
- It results in intense pain – most often in the calves, hips, and shoulders
- The cramps usually go away on their own
-It helps if you try to relax the contracted muscle, but not violently - Massage and increased intake of certain substances, especially potassium, can also help
2. Muscle Stretching.
-Most affects the legs when the muscles have not been warmed up, such as when running
-It happens during sudden and unusual movements
- The only thing that will help is to temporarily limit the physical activity in which the affected muscle is used
- If a muscle in the leg has been stretched, there is usually absolutely no reason not to move. It will strengthen under the weight of its own body
3. Ruptured muscle
- This is a more serious case, which most often occurs during heavy hitting (athletics, tennis)
- It is manifested by very severe pain and almost inability to move the affected limb
- It is necessary to cool the injured area and see a doctor
So, underestimating the warm-up or warm-up can have serious consequences. This is especially true for those who have gotten out of winter hibernation and started exercising. It’s a very good thing, and it will be even better with stretched muscles.
