What’s New
Although increasing physical activity has number of benefits for young people, it may also
increase the risk of injury because all physical activity has inherent risk of injury. On the contrary, a
well-designed exercise routine might lessen the occurrence of injuries related to the type of
exercise done.
Aerobic and fitness classes involve the movement of large muscle groups in continues
rhythmic activity to music. There is more than a dozen of aerobic dance hybrids, many of which
are extensions or combinations of high and low impact.
Aerobics is associated with significant number of sport injuries which falls into two groups:
A. Traumatic – these result as a result of a fall, twist or similar accident and most often
involve the ankle or knee.
B. Overuse injuries – these usually develop gradually, often as a result of change in the
amount of intensity of aerobics, or due to a training error. Shin pain is the most common
overuse injury, while foot and knee overuse injuries are also common.

Preventing Aerobic Injuries
Weight lifting is one of the most iconic exercises of them all – throughout history people
have engage in weight lifting to make themselves stronger, increase their muscle mass and
develop their fitness
B. Back Strain – almost every weight lifting exercise will put increase and unfamiliar weight on
the back which is the frame supporting all the muscle groups in your upper body. Dead lifts,
bench press, rows and curls can result in strain on muscles and Tendons, even torn
ligaments in severe situations. The best way to prevent this is to remember the old adage –
“lift with your knees and not your back”. Form is essential and you should never begin a rep
without confirming your back in straight, supported and engaged. Proper stretching before
and after a set can also increase the elasticity of your back and reduce any unpleasant
strains.

D. Neck and Spine Stress – overloading on your weight limit or pushing too hard beyond
point of fatigue can result in mistake slipping into your movements and causing sudden
sharp pain to these areas. Poor posture and loose grip are reasons for these injuries.

Preventing Work out Injuries
Warm – up and Cool- down – every work out should begin in warm-up and end with cool-
down period.
Stretch – do dynamic stretching before and after your work out.
Do Overload Progression – begin with exercise routine or start a new workout program
slowly and gradually increase the frequency, intensity, and duration.
Do cross training – vary your work out. Don’t overuse one set of muscles.
Listen to your body – if you get the feeling of pain, stop for a while or a day to rest your
body. Don’t rush to the point where you get to the point of pain. Injuries happens when you
do same routines every work out sessions. Muscle requires 48 to 72 hours to heal.
Fuel your body – drink plenty of water before, during, and after you work out. Eat small
meal or snack every 2 to 3 hours to keep a steady source of fuel for your body. After your
work out, eat healthy carbs and protein snack to replenish your energy stores.
See a trainer – follow your trainer’s advice to monitor if you are doing right on your
routines.
Wear appropriate attire – wear proper gear for your work out.
Facilitating Aerobic and Muscular Strength and Resistance during COVID-19 Pandemic
The vast spread of SARS-COV 2 also known as COVID-19 has resulted in the decrease
number of participation sports and other physical activities. These results in more serious situation
such as detraining for elite athletes and increase sedentary behaviors due to series of self-
quarantine, isolation, prohibition on training facilities such as fitness gyms and sports track and
courts. Today, we are facing challenge on how to facilitate PA with compromising health of the
individual. It is very important that follow the IATF health protocols to ensure safe and healthy
environment while performing activities. These includes, sanitation and hand-washing, wearing of
facemask and shield, observe one-meter social distancing, cleanliness of facilities and
equipment’s every use, measuring body temperature before entering in any sports facility and
contact tracing protocols. Moreover, the risk of wearing facemask must be considered. According
to research studies, there is an increase physiological burden in athletes wearing facemask during
training. Furthermore, most sports and recreational activities are social gathering nature, therefore,
it is inevitable scenario that we don’t contact with people, friend, and colleagues during activities.
Rest – Avoid using the affected muscle or joint. This may mean not using the affected area for
several days.
Ice – helps reduce pain and swelling. Place ice cubes in plastic bag in a towel. Hold the towel
wrapped bag on affected area for 20 minutes. Remove the bag for 20 minutes. Repeat this
process every three hours over the course of 72 hours.
Compression – light pressure with an elastic bandage can help reduce swelling. The bandage
should not be so tight that it cuts off the blood supply to the area, and it should be loosened
at night.

Elevation – raising the affected limb above the level of head helps reduce pain and swelling,
especially at night.
