What is the first step in managing overuse injuries?

  1. Taking painkillers immediately

  2. Resting and icing the injured tissues for 72 hours

  3. Applying heat to the injured area

  4. Increasing the level of exercise intensity

The correct answer is: Resting and icing the injured tissues for 72 hours

The first step in managing overuse injuries is to rest and ice the injured tissues for 72 hours. This helps reduce inflammation and promote healing. Taking painkillers immediately may mask the pain and lead to further injury if the exercise is continued. Applying heat may also aggravate the injury and should be avoided during the first 72 hours. Increasing the level of exercise intensity can worsen the injury and prevent proper healing. Rest and ice is crucial in the initial stages of managing overuse injuries.
