Practice, then play.
Regular practice
provides consistent
use of specific muscle
groups. Playing once
a week (or less) can
set you up for
injuries.
Stretch and
warm up.

A five-minute warm-
up will loosen tight
muscles and
ligaments, reducing
the risk of sprains.
Be protected.
Contact sports
demand the right
equipment. Goggles,
a mouth guard and a
protective cup (for
men) should be worn
before you start.
See a pro.
For many sports,
learning proper
technique can greatly
reduce the risk of
strain or injury---and
also improve your
game.
Use Icy Hot.
If you're sidelined by
sore muscles and
sprained joints, get
long-lasting pain relief
with Icy Hot. Keep
some handy in your
