OPEN FRACTURE, breaks
the skin’s surface.

15. STRAIN
-Injury that involves the
stretching , partial tearing
or complete tearing of a
tendon.
-Categorized as first,

16. Chronic strains are injuries
that gradually build up from
overuse or repetitive stress.

17. TYPES OF INJURY
Acute injury
Chronic injury

18. ACUTE INJURY
Sprained ankles
Strained backs
Fractured hands

19. SIGNS OF ACUTE INJURY
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

20. SIGNS OF ACUTE INJURY

A bone or joint that is visibly out
of place

21. SIGNS OF CHRONIC INJURY
pain when you play
Pain when you exercise
A dull ache when you
rest

22. BASIC STEPS TO PREVENT SPORTS INJURY
Develop a fitness plan that
includes cardiovascular exercise,
strength training, and flexibility.
Alternate exercising different
muscle groups and exercise every
other day.

23. BASIC STEPS TO PREVENT SPORTS INJURY
Cool down properly after
exercise or sports. It should
take two times as long as you
warm-up.
Stay hydrated.

24. BASIC STEPS TO PREVENT SPORTS INJURY
Stretching exercises can
improve the ability of muscles

body time to recover.

29. HOME REMEDIES
ICE
-Cold reduces
pain by
numbing the
affected area.

30. HOME REMEDIES
COMPRESSION
-Pressure keeps
swelling under
control.

31. HOME REMEDIES
ELEVATION
-Keeping the injured
body part above the
heart reduces swelling
and the associated pain
and discomfort.

determining factor of who you
are and who you are known to
be. Instead, try to use it as a
learning experience so you will be
better off when you return.”
