Injuries to the nervous system like brain or spinal cord damage can result from accidents or chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Accidents during activities like sports or diving and long-term alcohol use also pose risks. The locomotor system can experience injuries such as fractures, sprains, or muscle strains from excessive effort or impacts.

    It is important to warm up before and after playing sports.

    Bad posture can deform your spinal column and cause pain. You must:
    - sleep on your side
    - sit down to get dressed
    - carry the schoolbag on both shoulders
    - pick up things with your knees bent and your back straight
    - sit up straight
    Healthy diet
    Bones need calcium to be hard and vitamin D to absorb the calcium. We
    must eat milk and dairy products, oily fish (sardines, salmon) and green
    vegetables.
    Sunlight is also important for obtaining vitamin D.
    Sleep and leisure
    Sleep allows our body to rest, our brain to store information and
    improves our memory.
    Leisure is also essential to relax and to have a healthy and happy life.
