LESSONS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH 1-SECOND QUARTER

Lesson 1: Kinds of Injuries and Different Sports Injuries

Kinds of Injury
Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising. Sprained ankles, strained backs, and
fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of an acute injury include:
 Sudden, severe pain;
 Swelling
 Not being able to place weight on a leg, knee, ankle, or foot;
 An arm, elbow, wrist, hand or finger that is very tender;
 Not being able to move a joint as normal;
 Extreme leg or arm weakness; and
 A bone or joint that is visibly out of place.

Chronic injuries happen after you play a sport or exercise for a long time. Signs of a chronic
injury include:
 Pain when you play;
 Pain when you exercise;
 A dull ache when you rest; and
 Swelling

Different Sports Injuries


Sprain- is a tear of ligament fibers, muscles or tendons supporting a joint. This can occur when a
joint is extended beyond its normal range of movement. A sprain may involve a small number
of rupture. In extreme circumstances, the fibers of the ligament, muscle or tendon may remain
intact and rip from the bone.
Contusion- or bruise is bleeding into the soft tissue. It is caused by a direct blow from another
person, an implement or an object. A bruise can occur to any soft tissue of the body.
Concussion- is caused by a direct blow to the head. Depending on the severity of the
concussion, injury can cause varying levels of impairment of brain function. Concussions are
categorized as mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), or severe (grade 3) depending upon
symptoms.
Dislocation- occurs when the ball of a joint is forced out of its socket (i.e. arm forced out of the
shoulder joint). A dislocation must be reset by proper medical professionals.
Fracture- is a break, crack, or shattering of a bone. In closed fractures, the broken bone does
not pierce the skin, while in open fractures, the broken bone breaks the skin’s surface.
Strains- are injuries that involve the stretching, partial tearing, or complete tearing of a tendon.
Strains are categorized as first, second, or third degree. Chronic strains are injuries that
gradually build up from overuse or repetitive stress.
Lesson 2: Preventing Sports Injuries
Preventing Sports Injuries
Exercise is good for the body and with proper precautions, sports injuries may be prevented.
The quality of protective equipment- padding, helmets, shoes, mouth guards-may contribute to
safety in sports. But, you can still be susceptible to injury in certain situations. Always contact
your healthcare provider before starting any type of physical activity, especially when
performing vigorous types of exercises or sports.
Causes of Sports Injuries may include:
 Improper or poor training practices;
 Wearing improper sporting gear
 Being in poor health condition; and
 Improper warm-up or stretching practices before a sporting event or exercise.

How can I prevent a sports injury?


The following are some basic steps to prevent a sports injury:
 Develop a fitness plan that includes cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and
flexibility. This will help decrease your chance of injury.
 Alternate exercising different muscle groups and exercise every other day.
 Cool down properly after exercise or sports. It should take two times as long as you
warm up.
 Stay hydrated. Drink water to prevent dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
 Stretching exercises can improve the ability of muscles to contract and perform,
reducing the risk for injury. Each stretch should start slowly until you reach a point of
muscle tension. Stretching should not be painful. Aim to hold each stretch for up to 20
seconds.
 Use the right equipment or gear and wear shoes that provide support and that may
correct certain foot problems that can lead to injury.
 Learn the right techniques to play your sport.
 Rest when tired. Avoid exercise when you are tired or in pain;
 Always take your time during strength training and go through the full range of motion
with each repetition; and
 If you do sustain a sports injury, make sure you participate in adequate rehabilitation
before resuming strenuous activity.

How Can I treat Injuries?


When it comes to sport and exercise, the possibility of injury is always present.
Inflammation and pain often occur after injuries to the ankle, knee, or joint. And the well-
known R.I.C.E treatment method can help reduce this swelling, relieve pain, and promote
flexibility and healing. In fact, R.I.C.E treatment is a mainstay for sports trainers and other
athletic health experts.
The benefits of the RICE method can be explained by stage:
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.
Aside from the injury prevention techniques mentioned above, there are also some personal
safety protocols that we need to consider before and after playing a sport or doing moderate to
vigorous physical activities. Some of the personal safety protocols are as follows:
What to bring?
 Water
 Extra Clothes
 Towels and caps

What to do?
 Prepare yourself. Know your limits so as not to overwork your body. Overworking your
body might put your life to a threat.
 Drink a lot of water. Do not wait to feel thirsty. If you know have sweat a lot already
drink water immediately.
 Change clothes. Do not let the wet cloth dry up in your body
 Use towel. Use towel to wipe out excessive sweating.

Lesson 3: Etiquette in Physical Education

others reflects our cultural norms that are generally accepted in our society. Knowing how to
behave properly in a given situation makes you feel more relaxed and it gives you a sense of
satisfaction of protecting others’ feelings while in a workplace. Etiquette is meant to be a
guideline using common sense, fairness, politeness and concerns for others. Ignorance of
proper etiquette will result disorder in the society, it is like having rude people controlling the
