Protect your muscles - Naveed Yaseen - 03-07-2009 09:11 AM

It’s important to stretch and warm up your muscles before exercise.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons lists these common risk factors for muscle strains and injury:

Health Tips

* Tired muscles that have been worked too hard.

* Tight muscles that haven’t been properly stretched.

* Weak muscles that haven’t been strengthened through training and exercise.

* Muscles that haven’t been warmed up before exercise, sports or other activities.

* Muscle groups that work together that don’t have properly balanced strength. For example, a stronger hamstring than quadriceps, or vice versa.
