Never take painkillers as a preventive measure<\/h2>\n\n

Many athletes are not aware of the dangers of taking painkillers (especially NSAIDs) and the stress of<\/a> sports. Therefore, the preventive use of painkillers should be avoided as a matter of principle.<\/p>\n\n

Side effects of painkillers occur more often during sports<\/h2>\n\n

If painkillers are taken during sports, the likelihood of side effects increases. This ranges from kidney dysfunction to kidney failure, to ulcers in the stomach and small intestine that can cause bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, to cardiac cramping problems. <\/p>\n\n

Reasons for the increased risk of side effects<\/h2>\n\n

Under the strain that is common in sports, the cardiovascular system works at full speed and fluid balance can become upset. These effects make the occurrence of side effects more likely.<\/p>\n\n

React correctly when it hurts<\/h2>\n\n

Als Sofortmassnahme empfiehlt es sich, die schmerzende Stelle<\/a> zu k\u00fchlen. Wichtig: Die schmerzverursachende Sportart soll f\u00fcr die Dauer der Schmerzen pausiert werden. Falls m\u00f6glich, kann auf eine andere, nicht schmerzende Sportart ausgewichen werden. Bessern sich die Schmerzen durch diese Massnahmen nicht rasch, wird ein\u00a0Arztbesuch<\/a>\u00a0empfohlen.<\/p>\n\n

Pain is for us, not against us<\/h2>\n\n

Pain<\/a> is essential for our body. This signals to us that there is a problem. However, if these warning signals are always ignored and the causes are not addressed, this can lead to overuse injuries and even permanent damage.<\/p>\n\n

Elicit the causes of the pain<\/h2>\n\n

Viele Beschwerden von Sportler:innen sind auf \u00dcberlastung zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren, wie etwa einen zu ambitionierten\u00a0\u00a0Trainingsplan<\/a>\u00a0mit zu wenig Regenerationseinheiten<\/a> oder \u00fcberschiessende\u00a0 Motivation, die zu unverh\u00e4ltnism\u00e4ssigem Training f\u00fchrt. Der K\u00f6rper braucht Zeit, um sich an die neuen Belastungen anzupassen. Muskeln sind schneller in der Adaption, B\u00e4nder und Sehnen jedoch ben\u00f6tigen etwas l\u00e4nger. Im Velosport ist auch h\u00e4ufig ein nicht\u00a0ergonomisch optimal eingestelltes Fahrrad<\/a>\u00a0der Grund f\u00fcr Schmerzen.<\/p>\n\n
