Physical activity is an important component of recovery after service and injuries. At the same time, returning to sports must be balanced and safe.
The Ministry for Veterans Affairs explained proper ways to return to sports on January 2.
To ensure that sports activities support health rather than create additional risks, several basic principles should be followed:
- start with minimal loads. Even if you had a high level of physical fitness during service, after injuries or a long recovery period the body needs time to adapt;
- before starting training, it is important to consult a doctor or physical therapist. Ideally, choose formats where sports activities are combined with medical supervision and rehabilitation support;
- choose adaptive sports. In Ukraine, sports camps and rehabilitation camps for veterans are already operating, where it is possible to select a sport according to one’s condition — running, swimming, archery, rowing, powerlifting, and other disciplines.
