TRAINING ZONE
EXERCISE

Key is to consider is the target heart rate

The heart rate when doing exercises define the level of intensity of
the workout
COOL DOWN
An important routine because the body temperature is
higher and blood vessels are dilated after working out

Will be prone to sickness if workout was ended suddenly

Stretching helps reduction of lactic acid build-up (cramping

and stiffness)
TIPS IN COOLING DOWN
Walk for about 5 minutes, or until your heart rate gets below 120 beats per minute.

Hold each stretch 10 to 30 seconds. If you feel you need more, stretch the other side and return for
another set of stretching.

The stretch should be strong, but not painful.

Do not bounce.

SPORTS
INJURIES
• commonly caused by overuse,
direct impact, or the application
of force that is greater than the
body part can endure.
• Acute injury – occurs suddenly
(i.e. Sprained ankle)
• Chronic injury - caused by
repeated overuse of muscle
groups or joints.
MOST COMMON CAUSES
OF SPORTS INJURIES
1. Overtraining
 Lack of adequate recovery time from amplified training
 Symptoms are excessive fatigue, trouble sleeping, inability to
concentrate and perform exercise correctly
2. Overuse
 Repetitive strain injuries are caused by repeated actions which apply
pressure to a certain group of muscles, joint or area of soft tissue
3. Improper warm-up
MOST COMMON
CAUSES OF SPORTS
INJURIES
4. Poor technique
 Any exercise or sport which is performed
repetitively with bad form is a recipe for injury.
 Repeated poor techniques could lead to
aggravation of the injury.
5. Impact
 impact of coming into hard contact with
another person/object can force unnatural or
unexpected twisting and quick direction-change
which cause damage to connective tissue and
joints.
HOW TO AVOID
SPORTS INJURIES
• Wear protective gear, such as
helmets, protective pads, and other
gear.
• Warm up and cool down.
• Know the rules of the game.
• Watch out for others.
• Don't play when you're injured.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ACUTE INJURY (RICE)
1. Rest
 Give the body part time to heal hence don’t use it or limit the
movement
 Use a brace, sling, splint, cast, crutches, cane, or walker to help
protect and rest your injury
2. Ice
• Relieves swelling, pain, and pressure
• Place it in 15 to 60 minutes every 1 to 3 days
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ACUTE INJURY (RICE)
3. Compression
• Compression wraps are bandages that prevent swelling and help keep
your injury stable. Done with elastic bandages.
4. Elevation
• Helps in swelling down
• Raising the injured area higher than the chest level
