Title: Lesson 1.1: Fitness for Life


1
Chapter 2 Safe and Smart Physical Activity
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
2
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Lesson Objectives
  • List and describe some activity-related physical
    injuries.
  • List some guidelines for preventing injuries
    during physical activity.
  • Explain how to apply the RICE formula to the
    treatment of physical injuries.

3
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Question
  • Injuries can occur while playing sports or
    because you attempt to do too much activity. What
    are some common types of injuries?

4
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer
  • Some common types of injuries are
  • chronic injuries, which result from overuse or
    over-training examples include
  • shinsplints,
  • stress fractures,
  • tennis elbow, and
  • rotator cuff (shoulder) injuries.

5
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer (continued)
  • acute injuries, which result from an accident
    that occurs while participating examples include
  • spraining an ankle,
  • straining a muscle, and
  • breaking a bone.

6
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer (continued)
  • Another kind of injury is called microtrauma. It
    is
  • a small but unseen and unfelt injury,
  • caused by risky exercises,
  • caused by wear and tear over time, and
  • the cause of muscle or joint injuries later in
    life.

7
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Question
  • What is the difference between a strain and a
    sprain?

8
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer
  • Sprains are injuries to ligaments (sprained
    ankle, for example).
  • Strains are injuries to muscles and tendons
    (strained hamstring muscle, for example).

9
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Question
  • What is the difference between a sign and a
    symptom of an injury?

10
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer
  • Signs are things the injured person or others can
    see
  • bruising
  • swelling
  • bleeding
  • Symptoms are felt by the injured person
  • soreness
  • sharp pain

11
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Question
  • Injuries from physical activity occur most often
    to skin, bones, ligaments, and tendons. What is
    the difference between ligaments and tendons?

12
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer
  • Ligaments are tissues that connect bones
    together.
  • For example, knee ligaments connect the bones of
    the upper and lower leg (femur to the tibia and
    fibula) (see picture).

13
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer (continued)
  • Tendons are tissues that connect muscles to bone.
  • For example one tendon connects the muscle of the
    upper leg to the kneecap (see previous picture).

14
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Question
  • When an injury happens, it needs to be treated.
    For injuries such as sprains and strains, what
    should be done immediately following an injury?

15
Lesson 2.3 Physical Activity and Injury
  • Answer
  • The RICE principle should be followed
  • Rest
  • Ice
  • Compression
  • Elevation
