Injuries occur in various forms while exercising. Strains and sprains are among the most prevalent types. A strain happens when a muscle or tendon gets overstretched or torn. A sprain involves the ligaments, which connect bones. These injuries often result from improper techniques during lifting or sudden movements.

The article from FingerLakes1.com discusses common gym injuries and provides strategies for prevention. It highlights that improper form, overexertion, and lack of warm-up are primary causes of injuries like sprains, strains, tendinitis, and lower back pain. To prevent these, the article suggests always warming up before exercising, using correct techniques, gradually increasing workout intensity, incorporating rest days, and listening to one's body to avoid pushing through pain. It also recommends seeking guidance from fitness professionals to ensure exercises are performed correctly, and stresses the importance of stretching post-workout to enhance flexibility and reduce injury risk. Additionally, the article advises on the use of appropriate equipment and maintaining hydration to support muscle function and recovery.
