Why Do Resistance Training During Sports Injury Recovery?

Research supports strength training during recovery from sports injuries to prevent muscle atrophy, maintain neural pathways important for athletic performance, and provide psychological benefits. Modified strength protocols, balanced diet, and blood flow restriction training help maintain muscle mass. Rehabilitation programs should preserve overall body strength, provide mental benefits, ensure safety, and aim to accelerate the return to sports. Regular monitoring is crucial to adjust training and reduce risk of re-injury.

It is also essential to address common swimming-related injuries, enhance body posture and flexibility, and implement injury prevention strategies.
