what is the purpose of injury prevention?
answer
a. increase the tightness of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which will result in decreased range of motion in muscles.
b. lower the viscosity of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, resulting in an increased range of motion to decrease muscle and joint stiffness.
c. increase the likelihood for non - contact injuries caused by stresses of sudden movements.
d. create an environment that increases injury and joint stiffness.

Explanation:

Injury prevention aims to reduce the risk of injuries. Lowering the viscosity of muscles, tendons, and ligaments to increase the range of motion and decrease muscle - joint stiffness is beneficial for preventing injuries. Options a, c, and d all describe actions or environments that increase the risk of injury or stiffness, which is contrary to the purpose of injury prevention.

Answer:

B. Lower the viscosity of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, resulting in an increased range of motion to decrease muscle and joint stiffness.
