Well sure, they all have their faults. Just like anything else, if you do it poorly/with bad form, you're probably going to hurt yourself. Everyone should learn how to swim, properly. For safety reasons if nothing else, and this would reduce injuries I think. I was a competitive swimmer for ~12 years, and learning how to swim correctly, I never injured myself. Weightlifting, same deal. I've been lifting for ~8 years now, and having someone teach me how to squat and deadlift _correctly_ probably saved me countless injuries. Rock climbing, same deal. Don't use a hangboard for the first 2-3 years you climb, you're going to get hurt. Learn to crimp correctly, or you're going to blow a pulley. Running even, bad form is awful for your joints, really really bad. For whatever reason I did cross-country in highschool, and I grew ~6 inches that season, destroyed my hip flexors. =(( I appreciate and agree with all your points, but I do not think there is many active ways in which one could not injure themselves without proper technique. =)) |
