Why is it important to apply principles of training
To stop us from getting injured and to match your individual needs

Why is it important to warm up/cool down
Warm up:perfrom a light aerobicactivity to increase blood flow to working muscles and stretch those muscles to avoid injury
Cool down:gradually reduce the level of avtivity to help with the dispersal of lactic acid and avoid muscle stiffness
What does RICE stand for
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
What does rest mean
To stop playing or training
What does ice mean
the cold can provide pain relief and limits swelling by reducing
blood flow to the injured area.
What is compression
use pressure to hold the ice pack on the injury.
This also limits swelling.
What is 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.
The 8 types of injuries are
-Soft tissue
-sprain
-strain
-torn cartilage
-fracture
-dislocation
-concussion
-abrasion
What is soft tissue amd how can it occur
It is joint injuries and it can occur by frequent repetitive exercises can ofter result in injury to joints
What is sprain and how can it occur
It is damaged ligament and can occur by fallingor landing awkwardly

What is fracture and how can it occur
It is a broken or cracked bone and it can occur from a blow,severe twisting or wrenching of a joint
What is dislocation and how can it occur
A dislocation is when a bone at a joint is forced out of its normal position and can occur by hard blows which causes one of the bones to be displaced
What is concussion and how can it occur
