Cool-down: Gradually reduce the level of activity to help with
the dispersal of lactic acid and avoid muscle stiffness

Question 17

How to use RICE to reduce injury

Answer 17

Rest: Stop playing or training.
Ice: the cold can provide pain relief and limits swelling by reducing
blood flow to the injured area.
Compression: use pressure to hold the ice pack on the injury.
This also limits swelling.
Elevation: raise the injury. If possible keep the area at or above the
level of the injured person’s heart as this will minimise swelling
