Question

Enlist the causes of strain.

Answer 1

The causes of strain/pull are as follows:

1. More pressure is exerted to a muscle than it can bear.
2. Insufficient warming up, i.e., muscle is not toned properly for the activity.
3. Muscles are stiff and tight, and therefore susceptible to injury.
4. Lack of flexibility. Overstretching of muscles is susceptible to tear unless one has restored the flexibility by stretching.
5. Too much training can also cause injury.
6. Lack of physical fitness.
7. Poor training methods like inappropriate work load, speed, and resistance.
