Adapt Techniques to Reduce Injury Risk
Adapting techniques to reduce injury risk is crucial in sports to prevent accidents. For instance, altering the starting technique in motocross to avoid flipping over or adjusting the diving position in swimming to avoid hitting the edge of the pool are essential safety measures. Recognizing risky positions and making corrections timely can significantly reduce the chances of accidents. The key is to intervene when necessary to prevent untoward outcomes, similar to criteria used in medical screening tests. However, most technique adjustments are aimed at enhancing efficiency and meeting performance goals rather than solely reducing injury risks.
