INJURY CAUSE, PREVENTION AND RECOVERY: PART II

PART II: WHY INJURIES OCCUR

1) Poor Form (as mentioned in Part I).

2) Overuse. Too much resistance, more than the body can handle, or not enough rest between exercising same muscle/muscles. An injury can then occur because a) one strains the agonist, b) one sprains the ligament of the joint in motion, c) one strains the antagonist trying to balance and counter the motion, d) one strains other recruiting muscles because the agonist is not strong enough to handle the load.
