Resistance training strengthens the muscles surrounding joints, aiding in joint stability and muscle balance. Improvement of tendon and ligament strength is seen with resistance training as well. Plenty of rest, good nutrition, and a properly hydrated body are also factors that play an important role in the prevention of injury during training. As with any training program, making sure to start slowly with gradual increases in frequency, duration, and intensity is an important key to preventing injury. Always make sure to listen to your body, it knows when to slow down and when it can handle more.
Moderation is always best in avoidance of injury while training.
Keep your program balanced making sure to include flexibility, cardiovascular, and strength training elements. . . . .
