Joint strain refers to the overstretching or tearing of ligaments and tendons surrounding a joint due to excessive force, repetitive motion, or improper technique during physical activity. In the fitness context, joint strain commonly occurs in the knees, ankles, wrists, and shoulders, often resulting from overuse, sudden movements, or inadequate warm-up before exercise. It can cause pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion, affecting an individual's ability to perform exercises or daily activities.
