Intrinsic risk factors are athlete-specific factors that increase the likelihood of injury and include inadequate warm up, poor technique, age, overuse, postural defects, and muscle imbalance. These risks stem from within the athlete rather than external factors. Athletes can minimize intrinsic risks by properly warming up, practicing good form, avoiding overuse, addressing postural issues, balancing their muscles, and considering their age when training.
