How many dot points under the subtopic ‘What role do preventative actions play in enhancing the wellbeing of the athlete? in ‘students learn to’? What are they?
6
Analyse different sports in order to determine priority preventative strategies and how adequate preparation may prevent injuries
Critically analyse sports policies, rules and equipment to determine the degree to which they promote safe participation, e.g. what rules, rugby union scrum rules
Evaluate strategies an athlete could employ to support the body’s temperature regulation mechanisms
Analyse the impact of climatic conditions on safe sports participatio6

How many dot points under the subtopic ‘How is injury rehabilitation managed? in ‘students learn to’? What are they?

Examine and justify rehabilitation procedurs used for a range of specific inuriees, e.g. hamstring tear, shoulder dislocation
Research and evaluate skill and other physical tests that could be used to indicate readiness to return to play
Critically examine policies and procedures that regulate the timing of return to play, considering questions such as:
Why aren’t such policies applied to all sports
Who should have ultimate responsibility for
deciding if an athlete returns to competition?
Should athletes be allowed to use painkillers
in order to compete when injured?
