Preventing sports injuries requires warming up and maintaining a proper balance between muscle tension and relaxation to avoid cramps. Strengthening the muscles around joints is important, as many injuries occur around joints due to insufficient muscle strength surrounding the joint or inadequate tendon strength. It is also essential to avoid accidents caused by dehydration or differences in physical condition, such as discomfort, panic, and cardiac arrest.
