WEEK 1 LESSON
Sports injuries refer to the kinds of injury that occur during sports or exercise. While it is
possible to injure any part of the body when playing sports, the term sports injuries is commonly
used to refer to injuries of the musculoskeletal system.
1. Use pre-exercise screening to identify whether you are at a higher risk of experiencing a
health problem during physical activity.
2. When deciding if any exercise is safe, you need to consider the technique used as well as
your individual condition, such as injury history and fitness level.
3. Be guided by a qualified fitness instructor.
4. There are many changes during pregnancy, such as changes in body shape and size,
that pose potential risk of increased injury. It is essential that all pregnant women discuss their
exercise plans with their doctor, as each pregnancy is different.
5. Be aware that increasing the speed of any exercise can increase the risk of injury
.6. Avoid or modify any exercise that causes you pain or discomfort. Don’t ignore your
body’s signals of fatigue, discomfort and pain.
7. Cross-train with other sports and exercises to reduce the risk of over training.
8. Make sure you have at least one recovery day, preferably two, every week. Remember
that injuries need rest – trying to ‘work through’ the pain will cause more damage to
soft muscle tissue and delay healing.

Most of the injuries are preventable and awareness of the risk factors will help in reducing
the risk. Vigilance and safety measures can dramatically reduce the occurrence of injuries.
Tissues and organs react to the impact and direction of the force.
Tensile forces - are those that act away from the center of the structure, causing a pull or stretch.
Compressive forces - impact the center causing it to bend or fold.
Shear forces - are opposing forces toward the different ends of the structure causing it to twist.
Injuries are damage tissues or organs which occur when it encounters trauma or physical force
that is greater than what it can resist or absorb. The factors influencing the ability of our tissues or
organs to effectively resist or absorbs forces include inherent abnormality, age, technique, fitness
level, equipment, and environmental aspects.
Injuries in sports and fitness commonly affect the musculoskeletal structure. The ligaments, tendons,
muscle, and bones and joints have inherent strength that helps withstand strong forces. The
strength properties of each musculoskeletal structure vary according to the density of collagen and
elastic fibers present.
3
Common predisposing factor in injuries to the ankles, legs, knees, and hips include:
Uneven leg length - Uneven leg length may lead to awkward running and increases the
chance of injury, but many people with equal-length legs suffer the same effects by running
on tilted running tracks or along the side of a road that is higher in the center. The hip of the
leg that strikes the higher surface will suffer more strain.
Excessive pronation (flat feet) - Pronation is the inward rolling of the foot after the heel
strikes the ground, before the weight is shifted forward to the ball of the foot. By rolling
inwards, the foot spreads the shock of impact with the ground. If it rolls too easily, however,
it can place uneven stress on muscles and ligaments higher in the leg.
cavus foot (over-high arches) - Although the arch of the foot itself may be normal, it appears
very high because the foot doesn't flatten inwards when weight is placed on it. Such feet are
poor shock absorbers and increase the risk of fractures higher in the legs.
Bowlegged or knock-knee alignment - Bowlegs or knock knees add extra stress through
knees and ankles over time, and may make ankle sprains more likely.
Other structural conditions that make sports injuries more common include:
WEEK 2 LESSON
Injury Type of Injury Common Cause of Injury
Sprain Acute Twisting or pulling force
Strain Acute Pulling force during rapid acceleration
Fracture Acute Falling or breaking a fall
Two classifications of sports injuries: acute and chronic/overuse. Acute injuries have signs and
symptoms (pain and swelling) that manifest immediately after force application. The symptoms and
signs of chronic/overuse injuries occur after a long period of exposure to the force.
Sprain, strain, fracture, dislocation, and wounds are examples of acute injuries.
Sprain – overstretched ligaments. Can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe, depending
on the loss of function and the number of torn fibers. A commonly sprained ligament is the
anterior cruciate (ACL). The ligament is a connective tissue that helps stabilize the knee every
time the muscle contract. The injury occurs when the knee twist while weight is placed on it.
A strain - is also caused by excessive stretching that causes tears in the muscle-tendon unit.
It is a twist, pull or tear of muscle or tendon. The most common strains are located at the
lower limb such as the hamstring, and calf muscle.
Fractures - are breaks in the continuity of the bone. It usually occurs as a result of high
impact forces that cause the bone to bend or twist. It is normally treated with
immobilization by attaching a fixator or a cast.
Dislocation - are bones that are pushed out from their joint capsule. When the bone is
pushed out of the proper alignment the injury will cause a deformity and constant pain.
Concussion – is a traumatic brain injury that affects your brain function. Effects are usually
temporary but can include headaches and problems with concentration, memory, balance,
and coordination. Concussions are life threatening injuries because they disrupt the normal
function of the brain.
Overuse or chronic injuries are common among individuals who have been training for a long
period
of time with minimal rest and recovery between sessions.
Overuse or chronic injuries include Stress fracture, Tendinopathy, Osteoarthritis and Bursitis.
5
Stress Fracture- is small crack in a bone, or severe bruising within a bone. Most stress
fracture is caused by repetitive activity.
Examples: Runners and athletes who participate in running, such as soccer and basketball.
Tendinopathy/Tendinitis- The most common overuse injury in sports. It is the inflammation
of a tendon. Tendinitis occurs in any of tendons (shoulders, elbows, wrist, knees, and heels).
Osteoarthritis- “wear and tear” of a joint that results to its deterioration. It occurs when the
cartilage or cushion between the joints breaks down leading to pain, stiffness and swelling.
Bursitis- is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa. The bursa is a sac filled with
lubricating fluid, between tissues such as: bone, tendons, and skin, that decreases rubbing,
friction, and irritation.
Shin splints - have a number of causes and may occur on the outside or the inside of the shin.
With anterolateral shin splints, pain around the front of the shin starts immediately when
your heel strikes the ground awkwardly. In posteromedial shin splints, the pain is felt on the
inner part of the shins and is worse when you stand on your toes. If you keep running on a
regular basis when you have a shin splint, the pain tends to spread toward the knee.
Achilles tendinitis - The Achilles tendon (the tough sinew that attaches the calf muscle to the
back of the heel bone) is most likely to be damaged if you participate in running or jumping
sports. The injured Achilles tendon feels tender when squeezed between the fingers. Pain is
usually at its worst in the morning and improves with walking. Vigorous exercise will increase
the pain for a bit, and then improve it.
Lumbar strain - The standard weightlifter's injury can also occur in sports that involve sudden
twisting of the back, such as golf and baseball. Sudden lower back pain appears with twisting
or lifting. It may seem fairly minor for an hour or two, but carrying on the exercise will usually
bring a sudden deterioration with extreme pain and back spasms.
Lateral and medial epicondylitis - More commonly known as backhand and forehand tennis
elbow. Backhand tennis elbow can also occur with overuse of a screwdriver, but tennis may
be more problematic because not only you are gripping hard, but there are also repetitive
shocks being transmitted to the flexed wrist tendons. Forehand tennis elbow is also common
in golfers, baseball players, and people who have to lug heavy suitcases around. You feel pain
when you flex the wrist backward (lateral tendons) or forward (medial tendons).
Metatarsal stress fracture - The second to fourth toes are vulnerable to breakage if you push
off with your toes when sprinting or running long distances. Army cadets doing running and
marching drills are likely to suffer stress fractures during training camps. Dancers and
gymnasts experience stress fractures because of frequent jumping. The front of the foot
starts hurting during exercise, and the pain usually stops when you finish. With each
subsequent bout of exercise, the pain appears earlier, and gets steadily worse. The fracture
can take up to 3 months to fully heal.
As soon as possible after an injury, such as a knee or ankle sprain, you can relieve pain and swelling
and promote healing and flexibility with RICE—Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.
Rest. Rest and protect the injured or sore area. Stop, change, or take a break from any activity
that may be causing your pain or soreness.
6
Ice. Cold will reduce pain and swelling. Apply an ice or cold pack right away to prevent or
minimize swelling. Apply the ice or cold pack for 10 to 20 minutes, 3 or more times a day. After
48 to 72 hours, if swelling is gone, apply heat to the area that hurts. Do not apply ice or heat
directly to the skin. Place a towel over the cold or heat pack before applying it to the skin.
Compression. Compression, or wrapping the injured or sore area with an elastic bandage (such
as an Ace wrap), will help decrease swelling. Don't wrap it too tightly, because this can cause
more swelling below the affected area. Loosen the bandage if it gets too tight. Signs that the
bandage is too tight include numbness, tingling, increased pain, coolness, or swelling in the area
below the bandage. Talk to your doctor if you think you need to use a wrap for longer than 48 to
72 hours; a more serious problem may be present.
Elevation. Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are
sitting or lying down. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help minimize
swelling.
Rest stops new injury and bleeding. Ice eases pain and reduces inflammation by constricting the blood
vessels. Compression and Elevation limit the amount of swelling and fluid accumulation around the injured
area.
should be strictly enforced to prevent excessive physical contact that might lead to injuries. It is
important to practice sportsmanship and to resolve conflict without resulting to violence.
Fitness and training injuries can be prevented if an individual takes the necessary preparations and
precautions on the following variables:
1. Proper Attire. The attire should be appropriate for the chosen activity. It is important to consider
comfort and protective when choosing appropriate attire. A special attention should be given when
choosing foot ware because many chronic injuries are caused by inappropriate shoes. A good pair of
shoes will provide stability, support, cushion, and comfort.
2. Proper technique. An individual need to consult a trainer and ask for proper instruction in
performing the chosen activity or exercise. The knowledge on how to execute the movement is just
as important as the movement. The benefit of the exercise will be compromised if it is not
performed with the correct technique.
3. Gym etiquette. Individuals that subscribe to gym facilities should be aware of the rules and
etiquette. Each facility has its own list of rules but these are the most common:
* Ask for a spotter when lifting loads close to 1RM. ( One repetition maximum can be used for
determining an individual's maximum strength and is the method for determining the winner in events such as
power lifting and weightlifting competitions).
WEEK 3 LESSON
Sports Injuries are often soft tissue injuries to muscle, tendons, ligaments or joints. The first
step for treating any kind of injury is to contact a qualified physician who can provide an accurate
diagnosis. The doctor is the only person allowed to diagnose the condition of the patient.
The diagnostic process accounts all the information needed to see a holistic picture of the
cause and severity of the injury such as patient’s history, comprehensive physical examination,
special tests, and diagnostic test.
The first part of the evaluation process is called the primary survey. This is a quick evaluation if
there are life-threatening injuries present. The evaluation needs to consider if the patient should be
moved or transported immediately to a medical facility.
The Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) should be performed immediately on any person who
has become unconscious and is found to be pulse less.

WEEK 5 LESSON
First Aid Management for Acute Injuries
The coach or trainer should inspect for deformity, swelling, dislocation, bleeding, and other
possible signs of injury. The following questions can help when performing inspection:
The coach or trainer understands how the movement or force could have injured the body part:
It will help in determining the appropriate first aid and how to immobilize the injured part. Motor
gross movement is the active component of the secondary survey and it checks muscle weakness and
joint stability. The following questions can help when performing a gross motor check:
If you don't drink enough water, you may become dehydrated. This means your body doesn't have enough
fluid to operate properly. Your urine can be an indicator if you're dehydrated. If it's colorless or light yellow,
you're well hydrated.
Good hydration means getting the right amount of water before, during, and after exercise. Water regulates
your body temperature and lubricates your joints.
How can proper hydration help young athletes reduce injury risk?
"Dehydration contributes to muscle fatigue, which can increase the risk for injury," says Wehrle. Staying
adequately hydrated can help reduce muscle fatigue and reduce the risk of injury.
As athletes exercise, the core body temperature rises. In response, the body sweats to dissipate excess heat so
it doesn't overheat. "Staying hydrated replaces the water lost through sweating and is essential for
thermoregulation; helping to prevent cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke,"
11
WEEK 6 – LESSON
If young athletes are working out for one hour or less, water is generally sufficient to keep hydrated. Sports
drinks may be recommended in certain situations including when:
In these situations, experts recommend a sports drink containing at least 110 to 240 mg of sodium per 8oz.
serving. This will replace fluid and electrolytes lost through sweat.
Dehydration happens when your body doesn't have as much water as it needs. Without enough, your body can't
function properly. You can have mild, moderate, or severe dehydration depending on how much fluid is missing
from your body.
Causes
It’s normal to lose water from your body every day by sweating, breathing, peeing, and pooping, and through tears
and saliva (spit). Usually you replace the lost liquid by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. If you
lose too much water or don’t drink and eat enough, you can get dehydrated.
A fever
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Excessive sweating
Peeing a lot (Diabetes and some medications like water pills -- also called diuretics -- can make you pee
more often.)
Symptoms
Thirst
Dry or sticky mouth
Not peeing very much
Dark yellow pee
Dry, cool skin
Headache
Muscle cramps
12
Symptoms for babies and young children can be different than for adults:
WEEK 6 ACTIVITY #2 – SPLINT application to the injured ELBOW, ANKLE and LEG/
SHIN)
3. The injured model must wear shorts for a clear and visible application.
4. You will be given 2-3 minutes to finish the technique in each part, and after
that we will proceed to the other injured part.
WEEK 7 – LESSON
Who’s at Risk?
Anyone can get dehydrated, but the odds are higher for some people:
Babies and young children are the most likely to have severe diarrhea and vomiting, and they lose the
most water from a high fever. The youngest can’t tell you they’re thirsty or get their own drink.
13
Older adults often don’t realize they’re thirsty. If they can’t get around very well anymore, they may not
be able to get a drink easily or may not be able to take in enough fluids due to medical conditions.
People who are ill with a cold or sore throat may not want to eat or drink.
People with a chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes can pee a lot if the disease is uncontrolled. They also
may take medicines such as water pills, which make them go more often.
People who are active outside in hot and humid weather sometimes can’t cool down effectively because
their sweat doesn’t evaporate. This can lead to a higher body temperature and need for more water.
Hypothermia and hyperthermia are two extreme, but equally concerning, states of temperature loss or
gain. Hypothermia occurs when you lose more heat than your body can produce and you feel very
cold. Hyperthermia occurs when your body produces more heat than it can lose.
Hyperthermia is considered separate from conditions where internal body sources, such as infection,
heat-regulating problems, and adverse drug reactions or overdoses cause a raised body temperature.
Heat exhaustion
Heat exhaustion, if left untreated, can lead to heat stroke, which is a life-threatening condition.
Heat stroke
Without treatment, heat stroke can lead to dangerous complications, especially in young children, those
whose immune system is compromised, and people over 65 years of age.
Hyperthermia is also more likely to cause complications in people with heat-related, heart, and blood
pressure conditions.
14
With heat stroke the body temperature is more than 103°F to 104°F, depending on a person’s normal, average
body temperature.
Temperature and many of the other early signs of heat stroke are the same as those for heat exhaustion.
Another condition that may occur with severe heat stroke is known as rhabdomyolysis. This is when a protein
released from damaged skeletal muscle cells causes kidney damage.
WEEK 7 ACTIVITY # 3 – BANDAGE application to the injured ANKLE, ARM and JAW
Rules and Guidelines
2. The injured model must wear shorts for a clear and visible application.
3. You will be given 2-3 minutes to finish the technique in each part, and
after that we will proceed to the other injured part.
