Injury aids
1. Coolants
In case you fail to fall and sprain a muscle or dislocate your leg, there should be a cooling gel in the first aid kit. It will help to anesthetize the damaged part of the body and reduce swelling. Also, a disposable cooling bag will do, which gets cold when shaken hard enough.
2. Elastic bandage
If there are injuries to the limbs, an elastic bandage will come in handy. It will securely fix the muscle, reduce the load on it and reduce the likelihood of a new injury.
3. Disinfectants
Of course, in the first aid kit there should be hydrogen peroxide or a small bottle of alcohol. If you get hurt during a workout, you can immediately carry out a disinfecting treatment. So that the wound does not remain open, you will have to rewind it with a bandage. Accordingly, the bandage should also be in your first aid kit.
4. Vitamins
In order for training to give a positive result and not harm your health, always keep vitamins B, C and E with you. With them, your muscles will become more resilient. Increase their resistance to injury. On top of that, with regular intake of vitamins, the recovery process after serious physical exertion will be significantly accelerated.

If you have ever suffered damage to muscles or joints, you cannot start a workout without first warming up the muscles. In such cases, you can use the ointment Kapsikam. It is applied in a thin layer to the area of the body that was previously damaged and carefully rubbed into the skin. This procedure must be performed 5-7 minutes before the start of the workout.
6. Sports bandages and bandages
Looking at professional athletes, it is impossible not to appreciate their equipment. Beautiful tight suits and all kinds of accessories look really beautiful. Be that as it may, it's not just about beauty. Bandages help to avoid muscle strain and, accordingly, reduce the risk of injury. If your sports activities are associated with heavy physical exertion, put a few bandages in the first aid kit.
7. Callus patches
As you know, corns themselves do not pose a significant threat. Troubles can only arise if they are handled incorrectly. During sports activities calluses can occur quite often, so you need to use special patches. They will help to quickly neutralize the corn so that you can continue to move around, go to training and even attend competitions.
To properly assemble a sports first aid kit, you need to provide for all the nuances that may arise during training. Don't carry everything on this list with you. Take only what may be useful for your case. For example, if you run, focus on ankle bandages and disinfectants. For those who visit the gym, wristbands, bandages and bandages will come in handy.
