Body Building and How to Avoid Injuries
A lot of people are starting to take up bodybuilding and fitness modeling. To attain the desired goals requires determination and consistent progress. As a result, however, a lot of people are suffering injuries.This article looks at preventing those injuries
Bodybuilding involves regular stimulation of the body's muscles to promote muscle increase in size. However, in order to get those steady gains and regular growth we also have to stimulate healthy adaptation of the body's tendons, ligaments and nerves.
Ligaments and tendons are particularly rigid and inelastic strips of fibrous tissue that can particulalry easily damaged if pushed over their physical capabilities. Working on them slowly will allow them to adapt and strengthen and prevent tearing. This will enable you to increase your ability to keep a workout program
The pre-workout stretching program is an especially important aspect of the adaptation plan. Many programs such as those found in the Truth About Abs Review advise on such a recommendation. This aspect should not be left out if you are to avoid tearing. It requires at least 30 seconds of good stretching to get an adequate stretch.
It is a particularly good plan to promote the flow of blood to the muscles and ligaments with a pre-workout cardio session. This increases the inflow of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and ligaments and prepares them for the workout exercises.
During the workout regime it is ideal to have alongside another training partner to assist whilst using the weights. When you reach the level of exhaustion, your training or spot partner can assist you to lift the weight and avoid injury. This can help prevent excessive straining the exercisedmuscles and assists in helping to prevent overstretching the tendons and muscles due to the weights pulling the muscles beyond the normal total range of movement.
There is a lot of debate as to whether a longer duration of time between each set of exercises to reduce injury. The main problem with this advice is that we do still need to stimulate the muscles and taking ninety to one hundred and twenty seconds between sets is often considered an optimal period of time. This duration of time helps also to keep you focused.
The post workout time is also a particulalry important area to focus upon in injury prevention. This is a very important time to particularly on a stretching program as the tendons and ligaments are now warm and more flexible and as suchare able to benefit more from these stretching routines.
During the recovery time, muscles, ligaments and tendons require optimal amounts of protein, glucose and nutrients to recover and adapt to the workouts. It is during this time when muscle hypertrophy and increases in size occur. The inflow of nutrients to the ligaments and tendons which will also increase their strength of them over the long term and reduce the chances of damage and injury.
With magazines full of pictures of people with rippling abs and big muscular chest pectoral muscles it is with no surprise that many more people are starting bodybuilding and doing weight training to increase muscle size. The result of this, however, is that there are many more muscular injuries. Keeping to advice explained in this article may assist you to lower the risk of injury. - 17273
