Durability vs Injury Prevention

Core Difference
Durability refers to the ability to tolerate and repeat physical stress, while injury prevention focuses on reducing the likelihood of injury occurrence.

Durability Focus
Durability is built through progressive exposure to load, aerobic support, and tissue adaptation over time.

Injury Prevention Focus
Injury prevention often emphasizes risk reduction strategies, movement quality, and load management.

Why the Difference Matters
Avoiding stress may reduce short-term injury risk but often undermines long-term durability.

Key Takeaway
Durability is developed through intelligent exposure, not avoidance.
