Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not.1.
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets(头盔) are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you're playing football, baseball，softball，biking，skateboarding，and so on.
Warm up.
2. Doing some stretching(伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them—at least most of the time.3.When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can't come from behind, crash into a player's legs, and steal the ball. It's legal—and safer—to go after the ball rather than the player.
4.
Some rules don't have anything to do with scoring points. Some rules are just about protecting other people. For example，a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else.
5.
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may get right back in the game, even after an injury. But playing when you're hurt is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury.
A．Watch out for others.
B．Don't do too much exercise.
C．It's the same way with sports.
D．Don't play when you're injured.
E．It's not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing.
F．You and the other players know what to expect from each other.
G．Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.

In his youth，Mandela enjoyed boxing. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison，he would exercise every morning. “I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it.
