Task1 There are two main categories of sports injury. These are acute injuries and chronic injuries. Acute injuries This is the result of a sudden stress on the body. Example: A dislocated finger joint caused by a netball striking the finger. Chronic injuries This is an over use injury mainly caused by: -Overtraining -Insignificant recovery time -Poor technique -Badly designed footwear or equipment Example: Tennis elbow. Below is some of the most common sports injuries that occur whilst playing or competing in a certain activity and quite often as a treatment the
6 week coaching scheme cricket skills
Six Week Cricket Training Programme The training will take place indoors at the sports hall area of Hetton Comprehensive School. The sessions will begin at 6.00pm and finish at 8.00pm and will run over a period of 6 weeks. Ideally participants should arrive 10 minutes before the session is due to start to ensure everyone is present. Participants will be issued with a letter before the first training date with information concerning the venue, times and dates of the forthcoming sessions and the appropriate clothing and equipment which will be required for both practical and safety reasons. There will be around 22 participants taking part in the scheme. Objectives Have all 22 participants: * Understand the fundamental rules of the game * Undertake a good knowledge of the various fielding positions around the pitch * Gain the essential skills for playing the game such as batting, bowling and fielding * Able to put these practices into a real game situation Have a number of participants: * Understand some of the more complex rules of cricket * Gain some of the more complex skills involved in the game Week One Aim: * For all participants to gain an understanding of the basic rules of cricket * For the participants to gain the knowledge of the importance and how to conduct a successful warm up * To teach a specific cricketing technique - Fielding
Netball Fitness Program
Introduction I have chosen to do a fitness program for a sport. I chose the sport netball. I have chosen this sport, as I am more familiar with what is involved in terms of training, warming up, cooling down and so on. The main fitness components, I think that are involved in Netball are; . Stamina 2. Speed 3. Skill 4. Agility I play in a defence position, so I will try to aim all my exercises at that. In terms of the FITT acronym (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type), I spent 4 weeks on this fitness program, set myself a higher target every week to beat or reach, and tried to make all of my exercises compatible with my sport. About The Sport The Game Netball is a team game, played by two teams of seven players and based on throwing and catching. A team may consist of up to 12 players. Each player has a playing position that is determined by the areas on the court where she may move or play. Their position is shown by letters worn on a bib above the waist, on the front and the back of the player, for example GA - Goal Attack, C - Centre, GK - Goal Keeper, etc. The aim of the game is to score as many goals as is possible from within an area called the Goal Circle, which is a semi-circle, in the middle of the goal line and measuring 4.9 metres (16 ft) in radius. Only two players from each team may score goals, the Goal Shooter and Goal Attack. The team in possession

There are 3 parts to a training session - the warm-up, the main activity and then after, the cool down. Warming up and cooling down are the one of the most important aspects of performing to your bodies maximum potential. Prior to your workout, warming up is essential. It, not only as I have mentioned, improves your performance, it also prevents injury to the muscles. Often when people warm up for their activity they either don't stretch the right muscles needed for their sport or they don't do the stretch properly. In most cases a bit light aerobic work is endured at intervals throughout your warm up. Warm-ups can be directly related to the session you are going to do - use of sporting movements, or indirectly related - general movements. The main purpose of a warm up is to increase body temperature and heart rate. Higher body temperature quickens the rate of which the body responds to things. It also speeds up both enzymatic and metabolic reactions. This improves metabolic adjustments by causing an increase in energy release. Another factor, which increases the rate of the metabolic processes, is the increase in heart rate which goes with the warm-up. This helps you prepare the cardiovascular system for work. Even though each sport requires a different warm-up, most are benefited by the one described above. This is the one I will be doing during my training programme.
Personal Warm-Up.
When participating in any sport it is vital we warm up, stretch and cool down. The purpose of a warm-up is to get your body moving, begin raising your body temperature, stretch your muscles, move your joints, and get the energy pathways working so that the proper fuel is getting to your muscles. Warming up allows more oxygen to be carried to the working muscles. This will prepare the body for the activity to follow. This will also improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. The warm up is a technique designed: * To prepare the body for competition or conditioning exercise. * To reduce the possibility of muscle injury or soreness The warm up should include exercises that prepare the muscles to be used and activate the energy system required. The warm up should also be related specifically to the activity that follows. For instance, sit-ups or push-ups are not useful as a warm up for running 100 metres. Instead, jogging or run a through are the best preparation. My warm up is to be specially designed for a 100m Sprint There are three phases to a warm up * Pulse Raiser * Stretches * Drills A warm-up period will include the following basic sequence and components. Activity Purpose Time (minimum) Slow aerobic jog Heat muscles 5 minutes Stretching Increase range of movement 0 minutes Acceleration strides Increase blood circulation and oxygen
Personal Exercise Programme.
GCSE PE- Personal Exercise Programme Introduction Fitness is the ability to meet the demands of your environment. For my PEP I will be training in the sport of Rugby. I am going to attempt to improve my strength and power and also my aerobic fitness. Principles of Training . Specificity 2. Progression 3. Overload 4. Reversibility 5. Tedium . My PEP has parts that are specific to my sport. During some sessions I have done ball and other skills that are required in the game. Whilst doing these skills I would be improving my fitness as well as my skill as a player. 2. As the weeks go on my PEP gets progressively harder by increasing the intensity of each activity. It is important to not start too hard and to work your way up slowly because you can risk injury. 3. I have applied overload by increasing the demand placed on my body. For example normally I would increase the amount of sets I did for the weights but every other week I would increase the weight as well. I set the training programme out so that I work 3 times a week. I measured intensity by increasing the amount of reps and sets for weight lifting and the length for the jogging. 4. Reversibility is any adaptation that takes place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training. This did not affect my PEP as I didn't receive any injuries that required me to stop training. 5. I have
Improving Flexibility.
Flexibility Flexibility is the range of movement possible around a joint and depends on the amount of stretch allowed by the ligaments, joints, tendons and muscles. Dynamic flexibility is different, as it is the resistance of a joint to movement. Flexibility is considered an important component of overall physical fitness for performers in all sports. As well as improving movement ability, increasing your flexibility aids performance and avoid injury. It is not possible to have the same degree of flexibility around all joints, as the joint structure itself limits flexibility; for example: The shoulder joint is far more flexible than the knee joint as it is a ball and socket joint, whereas the knee joint is a hinge joint, and so movement is more restricted. Flexibility is also limited by the amount of stretch allowed by the antagonistic muscle and the length of the surrounding connective tissue, e.g. tendons. Increasing your body temperature helps improve flexibility, which is a good reason for any athlete to warm up before performing. The range of movements is increasing restricted with age, due to the shortening of the connective tissue (tendons) and general joint deterioration caused by wear and tear. Improving Flexibility Flexibility is improved by stretching, moving a joint beyond its point of resistance. We are unable to change the bony structures of joints
Aqua Fitness/Water Safety
SURF AWARENESS . What are some of the visual signs that will indicate a rip is present? Before you try to locate a rip it must be understood what a rip is. A rip current, rip tide or rip is a strong surface flow of water returning seaward from nearer the shore. Although rip currents would exist even without the tides, the tides can make the existing rip more dangerous, especially low tide. Rips can move to different locations on a beach break, up to tens of metres a day. They can occur at any beach with breaking waves. Some of the visual signs that will indicate a rip is present are: * Calm water caused by the channel of water flowing out * Colour of water may be different from the surrounding area, usually brown; this is because of the sand being pulled away from the beach * The water line is lower on the shore near a rip current * Water moving in swells toward the beach, pushes against the beach, and then goes back out. It then forms into dark, choppy rivers within the ocean, this is the fatal rip currents * This dark patch is wider at the beach that is the mouth of the rip current, and then it is straight out or at a slight angle into the ocean. The far end of the rip current usually forms a large roundish shape and is known as the head of the rip current * Look for debris r foam floating * NOTE: It is better to look for a rip, from a higher perspective 2.

Most injuries in hockey are mainly down to being struck by a hockey stick or hockey balls. Injuries in hockey can be very serious and as it is played in over 132 countries, injuries are very common. Overuse injuries to the ankles and lower back
In hockey you need both general fitness and specific fitness. You need good strength, stamina, speed, agility, balance, co-ordination, fast reactions and many more. All these can help every individual become better at their sport and have better health. These fitness needs can also prevent many injuries as you are less agile to your sport. Fitness levels can also be affected by many things such as illness, weight, alcohol and drugs, dieting and psychological factors. You should always warm up before physical workout and cool down afterwards. There are many factors that can cause injury but also many ways to prevent them. Injuries are both internally caused and externally caused. Internal injuries are self caused where you over use the muscles and external injuries are caused equipment, environmental conditions or opponents. Injuries can occur due to the weather (environment), being overweight causing heart problems, breathing problems, joint and foot problems etc, physical ability, the wrong equipment and facilities. These can be prevented by setting realistic targets, pre participation screening, carrying out fitness programmes in pre season, using appropriate equipment, do not over train or train while hurt. Enforcing rules helps prevention of dangerous use of sticks and careless play of the ball. Also seek medical attention sooner rather than later and get adequate
B-Tec Sport Risk Factors
D1: Compare and analyse the impact of injury and risk factors on successful sports performance. TASK 1: Using the list of injuries shown (see Figure 1), compare and analyse the impact of injury and risk factors on successful sports performance by filling in the chart below. Figure 1: Head injuries (e.g. concussion, unconsciousness), spinal injuries, simple and compound fractures, joint injuries (e.g. dislocations, tennis and golf elbow, torn cartilage, twisted ankle), soft tissue, cuts, grazes and blisters, dehydration and hypothermia. Risk Factor Sporting Situation Most likely injury to occur Impact of injury on successful sports performance Short term Effects Long term Effects Lack of warm-up Football Pulled muscles e.g. pulled hamstring, pulled quadriceps etc... The short term affect of a lack of warm up is that it you could pull your muscles. The time that you are out of action for will depend on the extent of the injury. The normal period of time that you will be out for with pulled muscles is 2-3 weeks. The long term affects of a lack of warm up is that it could take longer for you to recover from any injuries that you might have. A constant lack of warm up will result in you being out of action for a longer period when you are injured in the future. Lack of cool down Football Cramp The short term affect of a lack of cool down is that it can cause a
