1. FESTIVAL DANCE

2. Festival dances are cultural dances performed to the strong beats of percussion instruments by a community of people sharing the same culture usually done in honor of a Patron Saint or in thanksgiving of a bountiful harvest. Festival dances may be religious or secular in nature. But the best thing about festivals is that they add to the merry- making and festivities where they are celebrated, the reason why they are called festival dances after all. Mostly are influenced by the coming of the Spaniards who colonized us and brought Christianity in the country. Festival dances draw the people’s culture by portraying the people’s ways of life through movements, costumes and implements inherent to their place of origin.

3. Festival dances are a reflection of the unity of the Filipino community that despite the economic, social, environmental, cultural and political challenges we face every day, there can be no other race more resilient than ours. Festivals as mentioned earlier may either be religious, in honor of a certain religious icon or secular or non-religious, in thanksgiving or celebration of peoples industry and bountiful harvest. The following are some of the said festivals:

5. If you are planning to participate in these group dances, take note that injuries may occur when a person engages in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA). Dancing is a vigorous activity. Some people get injured when they are not in proper condition. No proper warm-up and stretching before you dance or exercise can also lead to injuries.

6. THE MOST COMMON INJURIES ARE:

7. Sprain 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 fibers through to a complete rupture. In extreme circumstances, the fibers of the ligament, muscle or tendon may remain intact and rip from the bone.

8. Contusion or bruise 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.

9. concussion 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.

10. Dislocation 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 professional

11. Fracture 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

12. 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. Kinds of Injury Acute injuries occur suddenly when or exercising. Sprained ankles, strained backs, and fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of an acute injury include: strains

13. ✓ 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. ✓ A bone or joint that is visibly out of place. Chronic injuries happen after you dance a sport or exercise for a long time. Signs of a chronic injury include: ✓ Pain when you dance. ✓ Pain when you exercise, or dance. ✓ A dull ache when you rest. ✓ Swelling

14. The following factors are common among dancers who have injury:

15. Poor body alignment and technique. The anatomical alignment and technique of the dancer are some of the intrinsic factors that are commonly associated with injury. Dance requires moving the limbs in a controlled and precise manner. These movements are anchored to the trunk, which means that the trunk should be stable and the spine is aligned and low trunk stability can lead to uncoordinated movements, which predispose an individual to injury.

16. Excessive training duration and intensity. Excessive training and limited recovery impairs the ability to heal and repair damaged issues. Intense technique training will most likely lead to microscopic injury to the musculoskeletal structures due to repetitive loading. Without proper rest and sufficient nutrition, the body is not able to rebuild the tissues and this predisposes the dancer to a severe injury. An abrupt increase in training intensity will also lead to this scenario.

17. Hard dance floor. The floor is where dancers rehearse and perform. An optimal dance floor should be able to absorb the impact that is generated by the performer. A hard floor does not help in dissipating the impact and returns the force to the dancer. The repetitive shock absorbed by the foot would eventually damage the foot or other parts of the lower extremity.

18. Poor shoe design. Footwear corrects foot mechanics and reduce the impact on the foot. A shoe that does not fit properly or has insufficient shock absorption will significantly contribute to injury risk. Furthermore, some materials used on the soles do not offer sufficient traction on the floor and this could lead to slips and falls.

19. Muscle imbalance. Muscle imbalance is an uncoordinated muscle action because of uneven strength between muscle groups. This is attributed to various factors such as anatomy, technique, and past injury.

20. The following are some basic steps to prevent injury in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA): • 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 dance. It should take two times as long as you’re 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 perform your dance. • Rest when tired. Avoid exercise when you are tired or in pain.
