Protect your body when playing sports.

Here are three tips for adults and children:
• Use recommended protective gear. Wear a helmet that
fits snugly when bicycling, skating, snowboarding,
skiing, and scooting. Make sure your child always wears
recommended safety equipment such as wrist guards,
kneepads, and a mouth guard when playing sports.
• Always take 5 to 10 minutes to warm up and stretch
before and after physical activity. Hold stretches for at
least 10 to 30 seconds. Encourage your child to
stretch, too, before sports practice and games.
• Don’t overdo it. Too much exercise can be as bad as
too little exercise.
