Fatigue Changes Movement

As fatigue increases, the body begins to compensate.

Movements become:

  • Less controlled
  • Less efficient
  • More stressful on joints

This increases the risk of injury.


What Happens Under Fatigue

When the body is tired:

  • Coordination decreases
  • Reaction time slows
  • Stability weakens
  • Technique breaks down

Even small changes can create stress.


Why Injuries Occur Late in Sessions

Many injuries happen:

  • Toward the end of workouts
  • During extended effort
  • When recovery is insufficient

This is when fatigue is highest.


Prevention Starts With Recovery

Reducing injury risk requires:

  • Managing fatigue
  • Supporting recovery
  • Maintaining mobility
  • Avoiding excessive overload

Recovery keeps movement clean.
