Sports Safety
Playing sports can be fun, but it can also be dangerous if you are not careful. You can help prevent injuries by
• Getting a physical to make sure you are healthy before you start playing your sport
• Wearing the right shoes, gear, and equipment
• Drinking lots of water
• Warming up and stretching
If you have already hurt yourself playing a sport, make sure you recover completely before you start up again. If possible, protect the injured part of your body with padding, a brace, or special equipment. When you do start playing again, start slowly. (NIH)
