This is great information. Its not good feeling to be sidelined because of a injury. any activity during injury can help to keep you in shape is beneficial. I believe that if you train hard during the off season this could cut out a lot of injuries can be avoided with the proper training.

Thanks for sharing this great information. I was looking for some time now for a way to work around my neck injury that I got in a car accident. It was driving me crazy not to be able to exercise.

Great information. I used to do nothing at all when I was injured in fear of hurting or sustaining my injury even further. While this might be true to a degree, resting the injured part of your body and doing some kind of activity CAN be beneficial. I’ve noticed that it can even speed up the recovery.

I recently strained a hamstring weeks before I had to do a sprint. I asked runners and other fitness buffs for advice, and I consulted the Internet. I was able to find a number of alternatives: swimming, running in the pool, exercise bike, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask what you can do. And, as the article noted, use the time to evaluate what went wrong. I realize now that I need much more flexibility, so I’ve been focusing on stretching.

I’ve been injured so many times, but in high school getting back into shape is a breeze with sports and coaches acting like personal trainers.
Now that the free motivation is gone, I try to do some extra workouts to strenghthen areas around my knees and ankles (where I get hurt the most). It may seem silly, but I actually work out harder and longer knowing that it may prevent me from getting hurt.
