  • Most times, injuries occur because some of the muscles involved in the execution of a trick are not strong enough to withstand the stress placed on the joints during movement. This often happens to children whose bones are still in the process of growing.

To prevent sprained and twisted ankles, the muscles surrounding them should be trained and conditioned regularly.
