Help for the �Weekend Warrior�: Tips to Prepare the Body for Weekend Sports

The grind of Monday through Friday often leads people toward cramming several days of fun into a few precious weekend hours. The “weekend warrior” loves life and loves sports, but that enthusiasm often leads to injury, sometimes severe injury. A New York orthopaedist has put together some tips for remaining injury-free.

Whether the person participates in weekend competition or simply weekend workouts, injuries are common occurrences absent proper preparation according to Dr. Kevin Plancher, a leading orthopaedist and former official orthopaedic surgeon for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard teams. According to Dr. Plancher, weekend warriors have a number of factors that make their activities all the more dangerous, such as their being longer in duration than weekday exercise or competitions and they’re often played with friends, which adds to competition and over-extension.

Adherence to these tips and recognizing one’s limitations will go a long way toward preventing injury. A few minutes of preparation each weekday will allow the warrior to get all the enjoyment possible from those precious weekend battles.

If you suspect that you have a sports injury, it is critical to seek the urgent consultation of a local sports i...
