Actually, a sprain is not caused by excessive nerve impulses to a muscle; it refers to the overstretching or tearing of ligaments, which are the connective tissues that connect bones at a joint.

Overactive nerve impulses can lead to muscle spasms or cramps, but they do not directly result in sprains. Proper warm-up and conditioning can help prevent both sprains and strains.
