Match the following recommendations to prevent injuries to their description:

Regular strengthening and stretching exercises = Helps improve flexibility and strength Warm up and cool down = Prepares the body for exercise and aids in recovery after Stop exercising if you feel a sharp or sudden pain = Prevents further injury by listening to the body Tendonitis = Caused by overuse of tendons

Match the causes of tendonitis to their explanations:

Overuse of tendons = Leads to painful swelling and irritation Muscles overworked = Can result in tendonitis Muscles stretched too much = May irritate tendons Muscles stretched too quickly = Can lead to tendonitis

Match the following statements to their outcomes:

Regular strengthening and stretching exercises = Improves flexibility and reduces injury risk Warm up and cool down = Helps the body transition in and out of exercise Stop exercising if you feel a sharp or sudden pain = Allows the body to recover and avoid injury Overuse of tendons = Can lead to tendonitis

Match the actions to their purposes:

Regular strengthening exercises = Improves muscle strength Warm up = Gets the body ready for exercise Cool down = Helps the body recover after exercise Stop if there's sudden pain = Prevents worsening of potential injury

Match the descriptions to the terms described:

Painful swelling and irritation of tendons = Tendonitis Exercises to improve flexibility = Regular stretching exercises Preparing the body before exercise = Warm up Stopping exercise due to pain = Prevent further injury

Match the type of exercise with its effect on muscles:

Endurance exercise = Increase muscle's ability to contract without tiring Strength training = Make individual fibers grow Yoga = Improve flexibility Aerobic exercise = Increase cardiovascular fitness

Match the following terms with their descriptions:

Strain = A pulled muscle Extension = Increasing the angle between two body parts Flexion = Decreasing the angle between two body parts Endurance = Ability to contract without tiring

Match the action with the image description:

Extension = Straightening a limb away from the body Flexion = Bending a limb toward the body Lateral rotation = Rotation away from the midline Medial rotation = Rotation towards the midline

Match the description with the muscle activity it describes:

Contracting without tiring = Muscle endurance Growing muscle fibers = Muscle strength Improving oxygen use = Aerobic fitness Increasing flexibility = Stretching

Match the movement with its definition:

Extension = Increasing the angle between two body parts Flexion = Decreasing the angle between two body parts Abduction = Moving a limb away from the body's midline Adduction = Moving a limb towards the body's midline

Match the symptom with the injury:

Bruising = Sprain Muscle spasms = Strain Stiffness = Both Skin discoloration = Sprain

Match the result if the injury is untreated:

Chronic ankle pain = Sprain Bone fracture = Strain Joint instability = Sprain Severe pain = Both

Match the injury to its common location:

Backs = Strain Necks = Strain Ankle = Sprain Legs = Strain

Match the cause with the type of injury:

Lifting a heavy object = Strain Landing on an uneven surface = Sprain Pivoting during an activity = Sprain Overextension of the muscle = Sprain

Match the common symptom of the injury:

Pain = Both Swelling = Strain Unable to put weight on the area = Sprain Limited range of motion = Strain

Match the context with an increased likelihood of strain:

Not warming up before exercise = Strain Returning to a sport after a long time = Strain Sprained ankle from uneven surface = Sprain Overextension of thumb muscle = Sprain

Match the PRICE method step with its corresponding action:

Protect = Use appropriate clothing and equipment Rest = Allow the body's natural healing mechanisms to work Ice = Apply something cold but not directly to the skin Compression = Wrap the injury to prevent excessive swelling

Match the following PRICE method components with their goals:

Protect = Prevent injury in the first place Rest = Repair damage caused to soft tissue Ice = Reduce tissue temperature to minimize swelling Elevation = Reduce swelling by holding up the injured area

Match the PRICE method step with its example action:

Protect = Wearing shin pads when playing football Rest = Avoiding movement to let the injury heal Ice = Using a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel Elevation = Holding up the arm to elevate the wrist

Match the PRICE method step with the body part it aims to protect or treat:

Protect = Prevent injury overall with appropriate gear Rest = Treating sprains and strains Ice = Reducing the temperature of the injured tissue Compression = Preventing swelling around the injury

Match the PRICE method step with a necessary tool or item:

Protect = Head guard Ice = Reusable cold pack Compression = Bandage Elevation = Pillow

Match the PRICE method step with the type of injury it specifically helps address:

Protect = Prevent injuries such as fractures Rest = Aid in the recovery of sprains and strains Ice = Help reduce bruising and swelling Compression = Prevent buildup of excess fluids

Match the PRICE method step with its primary precaution or benefit:

Protect = Prevent injury by using appropriate gear Rest = Give time for the body's natural healing process Ice = Prevent tissue damage by not applying directly Elevation = Help excess fluids flow back to the body

Match the PRICE method step with its specific procedure:

Protect = Wearing appropriate shoes for running conditions Rest = Avoiding putting weight on a sprained ankle Ice = Placing ice in an ice bag before applying Compression = Using a cohesive bandage to wrap the injury

Study Notes

PRICE Method for Injuries

  • Protect yourself from injury by taking precautions such as wearing appropriate clothing and equipment, and warming up
  • Rest the injury to allow the body's natural healing mechanisms to work

R - Rest

  • Resting the injury is the first step in treating a sprain or strain
  • Allows the body's natural healing mechanisms to work to repair the damage caused to the soft tissue

I - Ice

  • Ice the injury to reduce swelling and pain
  • Use a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel or a reusable cold pack
  • Do not apply ice directly to the skin to avoid tissue damage

C - Compression

  • Compression helps to prevent excessive swelling by physically compressing the tissue around the injury
  • Use a bandage such as a cohesive bandage to achieve this

E - Elevation

  • Elevate the injury above the level of the body to reduce swelling
  • Excess fluids will flow back towards the body and not pool in the injured limb

Preventing Injuries

  • Regular strengthening and stretching exercises can help prevent injuries
  • Warming up and cooling down before and after exercise can also help prevent injuries
  • Stop exercising if you feel a sharp or sudden pain

Tendonitis

  • Tendonitis is a painful swelling and irritation of the tendons caused by overuse
  • Can happen when muscles are overworked or stretched too much or too quickly

Muscle Injuries

  • Strains and sprains are two of the most common injuries in sports
  • A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon overstretches
  • A sprain occurs when a ligament is overstretched or torn

Strain Symptoms

  • Pain
  • Swelling
  • Muscle spasms
  • Stiffness
  • Limited range of motion

Sprain Symptoms

  • Bruising
  • Pain
  • Unable to put weight on affected area
  • Skin discoloration
  • Stiffness

How Injuries Happen

  • Strains can occur when putting too much pressure on a muscle or pushing it too far
  • Sprains can occur when landing unevenly on a jump, pivoting in an activity, or overextending a muscle
  • Not warming up before exercise can increase the risk of muscle injuries

Working Your Muscles

  • Exercise can increase a muscle's endurance and strength
  • Different exercises can affect different aspects of muscle function

Learn about the PRICE method for preventing and treating injuries, including protecting yourself, resting, icing, compressing, and elevating. This method is essential for athletes and individuals who engage in physical activities.
