 Sports
injuries are usually the result of repetitive forces
that result in 'micro trauma' or improper form or over
training. Few studies have examined sex differences in
resistance training-related injuries. One of the
researches indicated that women are more susceptible to
lower-extremity injuries resulting from accidents during
resistance training. This week we focus on, Common

Resilience
The capacity to withstand stress and catastrophe, is
refered to as resilience. Psychologists have long
recognized the capabilities of humans to adapt and
overcome risk and adversity.
The road to resilience lies in working through the
emotions and effects of stress and painful events.
Resilience develops as people grow up and gain better
thinking and self-management skills and more knowledge.
Resilience also comes from supportive relationships with
parents, peers and others, as well as cultural beliefs
and traditions that help people cope with the inevitable
bumps in life.
It is found in a variety of behaviors, thoughts, and
actions that can be learned and developed across the
life span.
