As summer brings sunny skies and outdoor activities, it’s crucial to play safely to prevent injuries. CAO shares some key strategies to help you stay injury-free while on the court this summer:
Know Your Body: Understand your physical limits and wear supportive braces if prone to specific injuries.
Warm-Up Properly: Stretch your muscles, focusing on hamstrings, calves, and quads, to prepare for play.
Focus on Form: Use correct techniques to avoid injuries. If you are new to the sport, consider taking lessons from a qualified instructor.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, take breaks, and wear appropriate footwear to support your feet and ankles.
Pickleball and tennis offer excellent opportunities to stay active, while working different parts of the body. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy playing racquet sports safely all summer long.
