Safety from injuries

We try to teach listeners - beginners in training with weights - to do an analysis of the exercises offered to the client. There may be several variations of exercises, but the coach must see some differences in some parameters.

One of the characteristics is the injury risk of the exercise. In addition to the observance / non-observance of safety rules (warm-up, equipment, insurance, serviceability of equipment, etc.), other parameters can influence this characteristic, for example, technical complexity, naturalness and applied burdening.

formula for estimating traumatic c ti exercise:

( Technical complexity ) x ( Natural ) x ( The magnitude of the burden ) = (The degree of injury )

T technical complexity . The difficulty of learning in learning motor actions

1 point - Easy to learn

2 points - It can be difficult to master when learning poorly coordinated beginners.

3 points - Difficult to master for most clients

Natural . Given that the musculoskeletal system was formed in the process of evolution to perform certain movements, the assessment in this context of naturalness / unnaturalness (movement, mode, load)

1 point - Natural

2 points - In principle, natural, but with unsaturated loads and infrequently / Natural, but not in isolated form

3 points - Absolutely unnatural, in everyday life excluded. The magnitude of burdening 1 point - Insignificant

2 points - Moderate to significant

3 points - Ultimate

The degree of injury: from 1 point (1 point * 1 point * 1 point. Absolutely safe for all) to 27 points (3 points * 3 points * 3 points. Categorically exclude!)

Naturally, in real work it is not necessary to use the formula and score in points (although why not?). I am interested in the opinion of my colleagues, are the characteristics listed by me sufficient for assessing the safety of the chosen exercise?

I will not give examples of the use of the formula, try what you get. Try to give an example of any combination of these characteristics in relation to those or other exercises and situations.
