To avoid it, staying hydrated helps. No specific exercise program is really part of the issue, from what I've seen. As far as game and practice conditions, where impact can cause it, the recommendation is that players wear protective gear to prevent it. Of course, that's not going to happen because players keep shucking as much as they can, to make it easier for them to move around, and make plays.I'm not saying I'm overly enthused about the situation we have with players and the injuries, but a lot of it is caused because players have a tendency to take things to the extreme. Too much muscle building, and sculpting, can cause muscles to become less elastic, and therefore tend to tear easier. Anyhow, that's based on my experience.</blockquote>
