Gender - Men tend to be physically stronger than women therefore it is not appropriate for them to play in contact sports together, Age - Activity must be suitable to this. Some sports have adapted versions for younger age groups e.g. tag rugby, Flexibility - If you have a limited Range of Movement (RoM) around a joint this could cause injuries., Nutrition - What you eat and drink can have serious implications for exercise e.g. you must stay hydrated and eat the correct foods., Sleep - Injuries often happen when you are tired therefore you must ensure that you get enough of this., Previous / recurring injuries - This can often be a "weak spot". If the injury has not had sufficient time to heal then it could easily be injured again.,
