Injuries are a common occurrence in various sports and can have a significant impact on an athlete's career. However, preventive measures exist. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated that structured warm-up exercises can reduce the risk of injuries by over 50%!

Get Set – Train smarter was developed in conjunction with the 2014 and 2016 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, and Lillehammer, Norway. It is the result of collaboration between the International Olympic Committee, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center, various Norwegian and international sports federations, and Making Waves AS.
