LESSON: WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF
SPORTS INJURY OR EMERGENCY
Weather-Related Risks
Taking your physical activity routine outdoors can be a great change
of pace, but some weather-related health problems need to be taken
consideration.
Hot Weather Health Risks
Two concerns during hot weather are dehydration, or excessive loss of
water from the body, and poor air quality. Smog can damage the lungs, so
avoid outdoor physical activities during smog alerts. To avoid dehydration,
drink plenty of water before, during and after physical activity.
Cold Weather health Risks
When participating in cold weather in cold weather activities, dress in
three layers to keep warm. The first layer should pull moisture and
perspiration away from your body. Many synthetic fabrics pull moisture and
perspiration away from the body and have been specifically developed to
keep the skin dry.
Windburns and Sunburns
Prolonged exposure to sun and wind is another weather -related risk of
outdoor physical activity. Windburn occurs when skin is exposed to freezing
wind, causing it to become red, tight, and sore when touched. Reduce the
risk of windburn by wearing protective clothing and using lip balm.
Ways to Classify sports injury
Sports or performance injuries can be classified according to the cause
of the injury or the type of body tissue damaged.
If injuries are classified according to cause, the three categories are
direct injury, indirect injury and overuse injury.
If injuries are classified according to the type of body tissue damaged,
the two categories are soft-tissue injury and hard-tissue injury.

Classification according to cause:
Direct Injury
A direct injury is caused by an external blow or force.
Indirect Injury
The actual injury can occur some distance from the impact site. For
example, falling on an outstretched hand can result in a dislocated
shoulder.
Overuse Injury
Overuse injuries refer to specific injuries which are sustained from
repetitive action (e.g. long distance jogging) as exposed to acute injuries
which occur in an instant (e.g. sprained ankle).
Classification according to tissue type;
Soft Tissue Injury
Soft tissue injuries are the most common injuries resulting from
participation in sport. They include the following:
Skin injuries- abrasions, lacerations and blisters
Muscle injuries- tears or strains of muscle fibers and contusions
Tendon Injuries- tears or strains of tendon fibers and inflammation
(tendonitis)
Ligament Injuries- sprains and tears of ligament fibers.
Soft tissue injuries can result in internal bleeding and swelling.
Hard Tissue Injury
Hard tissue injuries are those involving damage to the bones of the
skeleton.
Minor Injuries
Pains, especially extreme ones may signal that you have a major injury.
First Aid: Immediate Action in case
of Sports Injury
First aid, as the term suggests, is the initial or first help given to an injured
or ill person.
The most obvious objective of first aid is to save lives. This objective can
be simplified into five Ps. First aid can:
Preserve life
Protect the unconsciousness
Prevent injury or illness from becoming worse
Promote recovery
Procure medical aid

TOTAPS
The following procedure will provide information about the extent of
the injury, and will indicate whether the person should be permitted to
continue the game/performance or should be given professional medical
help. TOTAPS stands for:
T for talks
o Ask the athlete question to gather information about the cause,
nature and site of the injury.
o For example:
HOW DID THE INJURY HAPPEN?
O for Observe
o After asking the athlete, evaluate the said injury.
T for Touch
o If there is no obvious deformity and the athlete allows you, feel
the site of the injury.
A for Active Moment
o Ask the athlete to try to move the injured part.
P for Passive Moment
o If you have reached this stage, it is likely that the injury is not
serious.
S for Skills Test
o Did the active and passive movement procedure pain? If no, can
the injured player stand and demonstrate some of the skills from
the game carefully?
