What are the key factors in selecting clothes for use during an exercise program?
There are several key factors to consider when selecting workout clothing. Comfort is a big factor. You don't want to choose clothing that is uncomfortable. The way the clothing fits is also important. Workout clothing tends to be smaller so it's important to choose clothing that allows for a wide range of motion. Wicking, which is the ability of fabric to help remove sweat from the body, is better than plain cotton. Layering is another factor to consider because you want to have clothing that can be easily layered in the colder months. You should also consider whether or not the clothing is technologically advanced and whether or not it is activity appropriate.
Explain what distinguishes acute and chronic sports injuries.
Acute sports injuries are generally those that result from some sort of traumatic event on the body. Since they generally result from trauma, acute injuries tend to have a rapid onset and progression, but this can also mean that they will be of more limited duration. Chronic sports injuries, however, are generally those that develop over extended periods of time from overuse and improper exercise techniques. The slow onset and progression of chronic injuries tends to also extend the time needed to recover from them.
