Education Key To Preventing Sports Injuries
CAMP FOSTER, OKINAWA, Japan -- While the clear, blue skies and freshly-cut fields of summer may beckon some to dust off their old team uniform and jump back into a sport, certain precautions must be taken to avoid serious injuries that might impact Marines' careers.
Athletes who haven't consistently engaged in strenuous physical activity for a prolonged period are at a high risk for contracting sports injuries and should allow two to six weeks of physical training to acclimate their bodies before involving themselves in a sport, explained Earl Strong, the fitness coordinator of Gunners Fitness Center.

These injuries can occur as a result of a hard force, blow or jolt that might come about after overstretching, repetitive friction, twisting or consistent overuse. Faulty training techniques, improper equipment or unstable surfaces may also contribute.
