Overuse in injury prevention refers to the repetitive stress placed on a particular body part, often due to excessive training or activity without adequate rest or recovery. This can lead to injuries such as tendinitis, stress fractures, or muscle strains. Effective injury prevention strategies include balancing training loads, incorporating rest days, and listening to the body's signals to avoid pushing beyond its limits. By addressing overuse, athletes and active individuals can maintain their performance while minimizing the risk of injury.
