Thanks to recent advances in women’s sports health the women of today can take part in about any sport and do it safely. Some women never give sports health a second thought until the obtain an injury but everyone should learn about what can be done to prevent issues in the future as well. Even though each sport has different risks so does each player of that sport which is why it’s so important to make sure you are listening to your body.
Injuries that come from sports can be prevented by simply being prepared by knowing what you will be doing. You can feel good about your activity when you start with wearing the right clothes and gear. Before any workout or activity, make sure to stretch so that you can prevent any injuries. For your cool down, it’s a good idea to do some stretching after your activity. So you can move around freely, wear clothes that are loose. By wrapping areas that have recently been injured you are taking extra precautions to prevent further injury.
Many women suffer from problems related to self image or body image that ultimately causes them to work out intensely and not allow their bodies the nutrients necessary to sustain a healthy body. A condition that can develop from this poor self image problem is anorexia or bulimia in which the person is severely obsessed with losing weight to the point of starving themselves. Figure skating and gymnastics are only a few of the sports where being thin is more than encouraged, that these conditions are often discovered. The risks associated with being too thin are just as important as those associated with being overweight especially for the very active individual, both can be quite dangerous. For the most part this is a psychological issue although it does have some pretty sever medical consequences.
With the changing times it has become known that exercising when pregnant is not a bad choice although some years ago this was not the case. These days, however, doctors have proven that exercise during pregnancy is beneficial for both mother and baby especially during delivery. For instance, one study has proven that women who exercise regularly during pregnancy have less labor time than those who don’t by 1/3. If you are with child, be sure that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise to ensure you are only doing what is safe for you during pregnancy. A few precautions are however necessary, you need to avoid any exercise that strains your abdomen, you must drink plenty of water and you should be careful not to overstrain. The information above gives us a clear picture of the fact that women’s health and sports medicine covers a wide range of conditions. It’s easier to prevent the conditions when you have a greater awareness of them to begin with. If any of these happen to you be sure to seek medical advice rather than getting discouraged. Don’t push yourself too hard, your body needs time to heal in most cases which means taking it a bit easier when you do have an injury.
