Actually, a sprain is not caused by excessive nerve impulses to a muscle; it refers to the overstretching or tearing of ligaments, which are the connective tissues that connect bones at a joint. Muscle strains, on the other hand, involve the overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons. Overactive nerve impulses can lead to muscle spasms or cramps, but they do not directly result in sprains. Proper warm-up and conditioning can help prevent both sprains and strains.
