Reading-- preventing injuries
Exercise and a certain amount of strenuous physical activity are important for maintaining good health. However, before engaging in them, it's important to know how to prevent injuries from occurring, especially for athletes and elderly people. Injuries can be minimized by doing a proper warm up. This consists of increasing your heart rate and the blood flow to all parts of your body. A good way to do this is through a series of static stretches followed by a series of dynamic stretches, which are done while moving.
PS: 运动和一定量的剧烈运动对保持身体健康很重要。然而，在从事这些活动之前，了解如何防止伤害的发生是很重要的，特别是对于运动员和老年人来说。通过适当的热身可以减少伤害。这包括增加你的心率和血液流向你身体的各个部位。一个很好的方法是通过一系列静态拉伸，然后是一系列动态拉伸，这是在移动时完成的。

Using the proper equipment is essential, especially in contact sports. To protect the head, for example, well-designed helmets can greatly reduce the incidence of concussions. Concussions are caused when the soft, jello-like brain slams into the hard human skull. Research shows that repeated concussions can have serious consequences.
PS: 使用适当的设备是必要的，特别是在接触运动中。例如，为了保护头部，精心设计的头盔可以大大降低脑震荡的发生率。脑震荡是由柔软的，像果冻一样的大脑撞击坚硬的人类头骨引起的。研究表明，反复的脑震荡会产生严重的后果。

Compression sportswear is another way to reduce the risk of injury, especially muscle injuries. More and more athletes are using them because their use can also speed up muscle recovery when an injury occurs.

Another contributing factor in sports injuries is fatigue. Doctors believe that fatigue is an important warning sign that the body has reached its limit. When fatigued it is more difficult for the body to protect itself. Therefore it's a good idea to stop an activity at the first sign of fatigue. Rest periods, even for professional athletes, can prevent serious injuries from occurring.
PS: 运动损伤的另一个因素是疲劳。医生认为疲劳是身体达到极限的一个重要警告信号。疲劳时，身体更难自我保护。因此，一有疲劳迹象就停止活动是个好主意。休息时间，即使是职业运动员，也可以防止严重伤害的发生。

Understanding injuries and the body's reaction to them can help people cope with the problems that accompany physical exercise. The support and understanding of coaches, teammates and family can be a critical factor in prevention and recovery. Once an injury occurs, it's too late to prevent it, and recovery can take a long time. For the elderly, a simple fall can be fatal.
