Play Sports Safely
We all know someone who's been injured playing sports - but getting hurt isn't unavoidable.
Following these injury-prevention basics can help keep you in the game!
Get a physical to make sure you are healthy before you start playing your sport.
Always warm up and stretch before playing.
Always wear the right helmet, shoes, gear, and equipment for your sport - and be sure it fits you correctly!
Eye protection is a must for many sports, especially hockey, lacrosse, racquetball, and squash.
Wear a mouthguard if you do such sports as football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, martial arts, boxing, or wrestling.
Stay hydrated. Despite everything you've seen and heard about the "benefits" of sports drinks, sports medicine
specialists consistently recommend water as the best fluid for re-hydration.
Don't play when you're hurt
If you've been injured and you try to come back too soon, you run a great risk of re-injuring yourself-maybe even
more seriously than before. Don't let anyone-including yourself, parents, friends, or even your coach-pressure you
into playing before your body is healed.
NEVER play with a concussion.
Taking time to heal is particularly important if you've had a concussion.
You may think you're OK to play, but playing too soon puts you at greater risk for another concussion-and that can lead
to a dangerous brain injury. ALWAYS follow your doctor's advice about when to play again.
Get medical treatment whenever you are having:
- moderate to severe pain
- pain that interferes with daily activity or sleep
- swelling of the injured area
- an inability to perform normal activities
