Team SG Cambridge Nationals Unit R041 Revision Guide Reducing the Risk of Sports Injuries Learning Outcome 3: Know how to respond to injuries within a sporting context. Acute and Chronic Injuries  Task 1 – Fill in the gaps using the words from the box. immediate overuse sudden gradually function continuous Acute injuries are caused as a result of a trauma to the body. They result in pain. They usually result in a lot of swelling and a loss of . Chronic Injuries are also known as injuries. They are the result of stress to an area. They tend to develop over a period of time  Task 2 - In the Venn diagram list as many acute and chronic injuries as you can. Acute Chronic  Task 6 - Fill in the gaps to describe how stretching and massage can help aid recovery. Stretching If the performer has pulled a muscle, they will need to get the muscle to relax and stretch it back to its normal self using active and passive stretching. This will increase to promote healing and remove products such as lactic acid. Massage Massage helps promote blood flow to the targeted area which can help healing as well as relaxing the injured area. It helps to waste products such as acid, reducing stiffness.  Task 7 - To stop an injury become worse, further support can be provided in the following ways. Match the picture to the correct name. Taping Taping the area to keep it rigid and structured, reduce movement. Bandaging Wrapped around the area to support and reduce swelling. Slings Reduce load and movement allowed. Splints Keep the part very rigid and unable to move.  Task 8 - Fill in the gaps to describe how hot and cold treatment can aid recovery. Ice Used for acute injuries Apply the cold for 20 minutes at a time and repeat every few hours. the pain the blood flow. the swelling. Heat Used for chronic injuries Apply for 20 minutes. Do not repeat. relax. blood flow. pliability of muscles, tendons and ligaments. Emergency Action Plans (EAP) in a sporting context.  Task 9 - Can you identify the Emergency Personnel that could be identified in an EAP? A Carry Primer Designated people Must hold a relevant up to date qualification. React to injury and start treatment process. Raised Rift Achoc Therapy Istiophs Friedn Presorts  Task 10 - Can you identify the Emergency Communication that could be identified in an EAP? Referee using First Aiders using Physiotherapist using There must be a way of communicating either to get the emergency personnel or the emergency services. This is important as depending on the situation it may require more people, equipment to be brought out, or at worst an ambulance. On the plan there will also be emergency numbers to contact. Sports clubs/events/venues need to have a plan in place ready in case of a serious injury or incident. They need to know what to do if something happens. Without this response a person could be put at greater risk. The size of the event/venue will determine the amount of emergency personnel. At a premier league football match their will be significantly more than at a game of U10’s local football.  Task 11 - Can you identify the Emergency Equipment that could be identified in an EAP? You need to have the appropriate equipment to be able to treat and respond to injuries. E.g. a first aid kit, stretcher, evacuation chair for if you need to get them down or up steps etc. Again this is vitally important as you need to have the correct tools to be able to treat the injury or start the treatment process while further help arrives. Use the QR code to watch a video where different aspects of an EAP come into force. Can you spot SALTAPS being used as well? 5. Describe two possible causes and one suitable treatment for blisters.
