Sports Safety Protocol

This document provides information on sports safety protocols and injury prevention. It defines sports injuries as those that occur during moderate to vigorous physical activity. The most common sports injuries are identified as sprains, contusions, concussions, dislocations, fractures, and strains. Acute injuries occur suddenly during exercise while chronic injuries build up over time from overuse. Injury prevention strategies include proper training, equipment, health, warm-ups, stretching, hydration, rest, and following the RICE treatment method of rest, ice, compression, and elevation for injuries. Safety protocols during exercise involve avoiding dehydration, overexertion, hypothermia, and hyperthermia. The document provides examples of common injuries for different sports

How can I treat
Injuries?
R.I.C.E. METHOD

Rest: Immobilization prevents further injury and gives the body

time to recover.
Ice: Cold reduces pain by numbing the affected area.

Compression: Pressure keeps swelling under control.

Elevation: Keeping the injured body part above the heart


reduces swelling and the associated pain and discomfort.

Activities (MVPA).

DEHYDRATION
Dehydration happens when the fluid

in your body is used or lost more than

the fluid you drink or intake.

Activities (MVPA).

OVEREXERTION
This refers to the pressure one puts in himself or

herself, too much pressure that leads to a simple

discomfort that might extend to a more

serious injury.

HYPOTHERMIA
t usually happens when the body easily loses
temperature. A person suffers hypothermia
when his or her body temperature drops
below 35 degrees Celsius.

HYPERTHERMIA
It happens when the body
temperature rises up significantly beyond the
normal temperature which is 37
degrees Celsius. Hyperthermia like hypothermia
can threaten life too.
