Strength training reduces the risk of injury by enhancing muscle strength and improving joint stability. By increasing the strength of the muscles surrounding a joint, it helps to absorb stress during physical activities, making injuries less likely. Additionally, strength training promotes better coordination and balance, further mitigating the risk of falls or accidents. Regularly engaging in strength exercises can also lead to improved flexibility and posture, which contribute to overall body integrity and support. Consequently, this reduces the likelihood of acute injuries as well as chronic issues related to muscle imbalance or weakness.
