Unit 2 Btec Sport - Health Saftey and Injury

Unit 2 Health, Safety and Injury Objective:- * To recognise and understand different types of injuries Types of injuries:- * Muscle strains - tears, pulls and ruptures These are caused by vigorous stretching of a muscle or tendon. In is of regular occurrence in the hamstring and calf muscles when there is failure to warm up correctly before sport. The Achilles tendon of the calf can tear completely this causes sever pain. Tear is where the muscle has been torn, Pull is where the muscle has been stretched and a Rupture is where the muscle completely breaks. We will know when we have pulled torn or strained because there will severe pain and there will be difficulty when trying to use the muscle. There may also be swelling and later on bruising. * Fractured Bones (broken) A fracture is wear the bone cracks or completely snaps. Breaking bones is painful due to the amount of blood vessels and nerves in the bones. Fractures can be categorized in two ways. A Simple Fracture - This is just where the bone cracks. A Compound Fracture - This is where the bone sticks out of the skin. There is often tenderness around the bone making it hard to use and it will most certainly swell causing it to look deformed. * Joint dislocation Dislocation is where the bone is pulled out of its original joint. It is caused by stressing the bone, commonly by violent twisting. It usually

A warm-up is essential before any exercise.

A warm-up is essential before any exercise. Young children need less time to warm up due to increased flexibility and suppleness. As we get older the need to warm-up is greater to prevent injury. Why warm up? . Helps mental preparation; 2. Warms up the muscles; 3. Helps prevent injury; 4. Increases blood flow; 5. Removes stiffness. To Start: - you should do a small jog around the pitch, beginning at point X. Then on the second lap do some stretches at each corner. The order of events is as follows: - Following the directions from the diagram should create a good progressive warm-up, not straining the muscles too much too quickly causing possible muscle strain and injury. The exercises should get gradually more strenuous and more like the activity performed The stretches to be done at each corner are as follows: - Lower Body Stretches * Ankle Rolls * Gastrocnemius Stretches (also soleus) * Quadriceps Stretches * Hamstrings Stretches * Groin Stretches * Anterior shin Stretch * Psoas Stretch (hamstrings) * ITB Stretch (right hip and iliotibial band) * Gluteus Maximus Stretch Central/Neck Stretches * Hip Rolls * Neck Rolls * Abdominals Stretch * Waist Reach Stretch Upper body Stretches * Anterior Shoulder Stretch * Posterior Shoulder Stretch * Triceps stretch * Chest Complex * Back Pair * Wrist Complex Physiological effects of warm-up on skeletal

Long Term Adaptations to Training

Long Term Adaptations to Training In This assignment I will select an endurance type sport and identify and critically analyse the long-term adaptations to the body for an athlete training for this sport. The endurance type sport I have decided to identify, explain and critically analyse is 1500m Swimming. Task 1 Cardiovascular Adaptations To aerobic training The main adaptations that occur to the cardiovascular system through 1500m swimming are that you have a greater stroke volume (pumps more blood), a greater cardiac output that is the quantity of blood ejected by the left ventricle each minute. It is expressed in litres per minute and is calculated by multiplying the stroke volume (volume ejected per contraction) by the number of heart-beats (ventricular contractions) per minute. As the stroke volume is increased; the heart no longer needs to beat as often to get the same amount of blood around the body. The chambers in your heart also get bigger, this is due to the more exercise you do, the faster your heart pumps, which in turn pumps the blood round your body a lot quicker than normal, this also makes the 4 chambers in your body increase. All this exercise gives you bigger muscles this is called muscle hypertrophy. 1500m swimmers capillaries become bigger, allowing more oxygen to travel through them, and new ones develop which aids in the extraction of oxygen.

Personal Excercise Programme (PEP)

P.E.P. Introduction My aim for the next six weeks is to improve my general fitness. I will aim to complete one session within 10 minutes and by the end of the six weeks, I hope to have increased my fitness and be able to see a good result from the data. To achieve this I will be doing circuit training to build up my muscles and to work on my cardiovascular fitness using the FITT and SPORT principles. I will have to complete the circuit three times, without resting, which will count as one session. I will do one session every week, and record my results in a table. I will need to record the time I complete each session in, and also my Resting Pulse before I begin the session and my Pulse every 2 minutes after each session to record the Recovery Rate. The stations in my circuit will be; shuttle runs, sit-ups, step-ups, press-ups, skipping, and burpees, in that order. Fitness Tests Before the circuit training, 5 fitness tests were carried out. These were the NCF Abdominal Curl Conditioning Test, the NCF Multistage Fitness Test, the Cooper 12 Minute Run, the Harvard Step Test, and the Illinois Agility Run. The NCF Abdominal Curl Conditioning Test is to monitor the tone and condition of you abdominal muscles. It is carried out instructions on a tape where the athlete is to perform as many sit-ups as possible in time to the beeps for as long as possible. The NCF Multistage

What is circuit training?

What is circuit training? Circuit training is a method of training. A circuit usually has 8 to 15 stations, where at each station a different exercise is carried out for a certain amount of time. Circuit training can improve muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, aerobic fitness, muscular strength, speed and agility. A circuit-training program may also be designed for a certain sport. Circuits for this purpose will include exercises to improve all the muscles and skills associated with the sport. Example: A circuit training program for basketball should include skills like jumping, catching or throwing. Specificity My circuit-training program is for football and it is based over a six-week period. The 10 stations are specifically suited to what is needed to play football. The Circuit is specified for an outfield player as there are no goalkeeping skills involved in this circuit. My circuit is aimed to improve the following over a six-week period: muscular endurance, muscular strength, speed, agility, cardiovascular endurance, and ball skills. These are all needed for an outfield football player. For example: · Muscular Endurance - To keep the muscles contracting for the full length of the match without them becoming tired or weak. · Muscular Strength - the force your muscles exert when they contract. This is an important part of football as it

joint tenancy is a form of co-ownership whereby all the owners are together seen as a single entity

Land Law Seminar Essay 2 "While from a conveyancing point of view, there are distinct advantages to the property being held on a joint tenancy... the doctrine of survivorship may produce results which are unfair or inopportune...One is left with the position that convenience favours the joint tenancy and fairness the tenancy in common. The 1925 legislation sought to distinguish between the position at law and in equity." Mark Thompson, Modern Land Law, 2nd Edition, Page 285. Discuss What is a joint tenancy? A joint tenancy is a form of co-ownership whereby all the owners are together seen as a single entity, it is said that collectively they own the entire interest in the land but individually own nothing. However this has been criticised in Burton v Camden Borough Council1. The importance of the above statement is seen when one of the joint tenants dies as they have nothing to leave to their heirs this is known as ius accrescendi of the right of survivorship. This is one of the most significant parts of the joint tenancy as it means that the last surviving joint tenant holds the land absolutely whilst the pre-deceased joint tenants will have left nothing to their heirs. To determine whether there is a joint tenancy the law looks for four unities, the first of these possession means that co-owners are simultaneously entitled to the land and each has the right to possess
