To prevent a physical injury from occurring while engaging in vigorous activities, be sure to wear appropriate safety gear such as helmets, elbow pads, knee pads and wrist guards. If participating in activities with potential for collisions such as football or basketball, avoid head-to-head contact by maintaining good posture and staying aware of your opponents. Stretch before exercising to warm up your muscles, and allow time for cool down afterwards. Finally, ensure that you are consuming adequate amounts of water during activity and replenishing electrolyte losses if needed.
