Minimize and break up long periods of sitting.
Ages 5-13: 9 to 11 hours of sleep per night.
Ages 14-17: 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night.

Impact of Physical Inactivity

More likely to develop diseases in the future.
Less likely to be physically active later in life.
Poor mental health.

Cultural Significance of Physical Activity

Heavily influenced by cultural norms.
Economic factors play a role, such as long work hours.
Influenced by social practices, access, and education.
Historical practices, such as yoga and Tai Chi, influence physical activity participation.
Health beliefs impact attitudes toward physical activity.

Types of Injuries

Direct Injury: Caused by direct contact with an external object, such as another person, object, or the ground.
Indirect Injury: Caused by internal forces within the body, such as excessive strain on muscles and ligaments.
Overuse Injury: Occurs when specific body regions are repeatedly used over prolonged periods, particularly with repetitive and low-impact movements.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Contusions: Bruises.
Sprains: Injuries to ligaments.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons.
Bursitis: Inflammation of bursae (fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between bones, muscles, and tendons).
Stress Injuries: Repeated stress on bones or soft tissues leading to overuse.
Strains: Muscle or tendon tears.
Skin Abrasion/ Blister: Damage to the outer layer of skin.

Hard Tissue Injuries

Fractures: Bone breaks.
Dislocations: Displacement of a joint.
Loss of Teeth: Teeth are knocked out.

TOTAPS Injury Assessment

Talk: Communicate with the athlete, inquire about the cause of the injury, pain severity, injury history, and alertness.
Observe: Visually compare the injured area with its opposite. Note any inconsistencies, like bruising, swelling, or asymmetry.
Touch: Gently palpate the injured area and observe the athlete's response to gauge pain levels. Assess for muscle spasms and warmth, which may indicate acute damage.
Active Movement: Only proceed if initial steps do not suggest a significant injury. Encourage the athlete to move the injured body part independently. If movement is impossible, severely restricted, or painful, seek medical attention.
Passive Movement: Determine if movement is within normal limits. For upper limb injuries, ask the athlete to squeeze your hands. For lower limb injuries, ask them to push their feet against your hands. Compare movement patterns and pain levels between the injured and uninjured limbs. If significant differences are noted, consult a medical professional.
Skills Test: If no pain is detected, have the athlete stand and perform competition skills, starting with less demanding movements. If pain or difficulty occurs, seek medical advice. If standing is impossible or very painful, stop and seek treatment.

Diversity and Human Rights

Diversity: The state or quality of being different or varied.
Harassment: Unwelcome conduct that is intended or likely to humiliate, intimidate, or offend someone based on protected characteristics.
