The doctor named the simplest way to avoid injuries in the gym

Orthopedic traumatologist Maxim Sautin told how to avoid injuries when exercising in the gym. NEWS.ru reports this.

He named the simplest, but forgotten way to warm up. “It is necessary to increase blood flow and improve soft tissue elasticity before exercise. And the older a person is, the more important warming up becomes,” Sautin noted.

The doctor cited the calf muscles as an example. According to him, their lack of elasticity can lead to serious foot injuries. “Treatment in such cases is often long,” Sautin noted.

Earlier, fitness trainer Stanislav Pakhomov named ways to avoid injuries while doing physical work in the country. According to him, it is important to maintain correct posture. “Sudden movements or sharp extensions can be dangerous, so it is necessary to perform these actions slowly and while exhaling,” Pakhomov added.
