5 injury preventions?
Applying the principals of training
Warming up/ cooling down
Checking equipments and facilities
Protective equipment and clothing
Playing to the rules of the game
Why do we play to the rules of a sport?
To prevent injury and make sure everyone is playing fairly with the same rules
Why do we wear protective equipment/clothing?
To stop injuries and damages to the body such as helmet in cricket
Why do we check equipment and facilities?
To ensure safety for the people playing the game and to remove any unwanted/dangerous items that are on the pitch or equipment
Why do we warm up/ cool down to prevent injury?
Warming up increases blood flow to working muscles and avoids overstretching
Cooling down slowly reduces the amount of lactic acid in the muscles
RICE
Rest- stop playing
48 hours
Ice- the cold can provide pain relief and limits swelling by reducing blood flow to injured area
For 20 minutes at a time 4 to 8 times a day
Compression- use pressure to hold the ice pack on the injury
Elevation- raise the injury at ideally above the person’s heart as this will minimise swelling
Elevate limb 6 to 10 inches above the heart
