What was the most common cause of injury reported by participants?

The most common cause of injury reported by participants was the lack of proper instructions. This reflects the crucial role that guidance and education play in ensuring safety and efficacy in physical activities or wellness practices. When individuals are not adequately instructed on how to perform exercises or engage in activities safely, they may not understand the proper techniques or precautions necessary to prevent injuries. Proper instructions typically encompass not just technique, but also warm-up activities, understanding physical limits, and using equipment correctly, which are all essential in minimizing the risk of injury.

Recognizing the significance of guidance highlights the need for programs to prioritize education and training to foster a safer environment for participants, ultimately reducing the likelihood of injuries stemming from miscommunication or inadequate knowledge.
