What are some potential risks and safety concerns that come with lifelong fitness? Given your activity level, what minor or major injury risks do you face on a regular basis? How do you protect yourself from these risks?

These include cardiovascular disease, heart failure, stroke, certain cancers, osteoporosis, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension (8). A recent study found that higher levels of total daily sitting time were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, independent of physical activity.

Some of the most common minor injuries include strains, sprains, and bruises. These will most often occur during some sort of physical activity. Some people confuse strains and sprains and call them the same thing but there is a slight difference.

How Can One Prevent a Sprain or Strain?

Participate in a conditioning program to build muscle strength.

Do stretching exercises daily.

Always wear properly fitting shoes.

Nourish the muscles by eating a well-balanced diet.

Warm up before any sports activity, including practice.

Although physical activity has many health benefits, injuries and other adverse events do sometimes happen. The most common injuries affect the musculoskeletal system (the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons). Other adverse events can also occur during activity, such as overheating and dehydration. On rare occasions, people have heart attacks during activity. The good news is that scientific evidence strongly shows that physical activity is safe for almost everyone. Moreover, the health benefits of physical activity far outweigh the risks. Still, people may hesitate to become physically active because of concern they’ll get hurt. For these people, there is even more good news: They can take steps that are proven to reduce their risk of injury and adverse events. The Guidelines in this chapter provide advice to help people do physical activity safely. Most advice applies to people of all ages. Specific guidance for particular age groups and people with certain conditions is also provided.
