Preventing & Treating Injuries
This principle states that the body develops in response to physical demands, but the overload must increase gradually over time?
Dehydration
Body Composition
Unlike health-related components, the six components of skill-related fitness are primarily important for improving this
athletic/sports performance
Synthetic versions of the male hormone testosterone used by some athletes to artificially boost muscle growth are called these.
Anabolic steroids
The acronym R.I.C.E, used to treat minor sports injuries, stands for these four actions.
Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation
Name two early physical warning signs that indicate you should stop exercising and notify someone.
feeling lightheaded/weak, muscle spasms, headache, or a rapid heartbeat.
This component is defined as the maximum amount of force a muscle can apply in a single contraction
Name three of the six components of skill-related fitness
coordination, balance, agility, power, speed, and reaction time
Clothing worn during exercise should allow free movement and perform this key function regarding moisture.
drawing/wicking moisture away from the skin
When applying ice to an injury, you should always avoid placing it directly on the skin for this reason.
Direct contact can damage the skin
This condition occurs when a person exercises too much, too intensely, or too quickly without enough rest and recovery?
overtraining
The ability of your joints to move through their full range of motion is known as this.
Flexibility
True or False: Being a good sport means being respectful only when your team wins the game.
false
When stretching, you should hold a stretch for this range of time without bouncing.
15 to 30 seconds
While acute injuries happen suddenly, these types of injuries develop gradually from small, repeated stress over time.
Chronic (overuse) injuries
An increease in this baseline measurement, taken when the body is at complete rest, is a warning sign of overtraining.
resting heart rate
The ability of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen cells during sustained physical activity is called this.
Cardiorespiratory endurance
This global organization supports athletic competitions specifically for individuals with intellectual disabilities
This common overuse injury causes pain along the front of the lower leg from straining the attached muscles.
Shin Splints
Overuse injuries are especially concerning for adolescents due to this biological reason.
Because their bones and tissues are still growing/developing
Name two psychological or behavioral warning signs associated with overtraining.
chronic fatigue, irritability, loss of interest in exercise, or poor performance
Aerobic activities, such as jogging or swimming, help build cardiorespiratory endurance because they rely on this element to produce energy.
oxygen
Name two specific behaviors that a good sport avoids during competition.
Blaming teammates/others, using foul/abusive language, or making opponents feel like losers
When exercising at night or in low-light conditions, this key safety habit must be practiced so drivers and others can see you.
Making sure you can be seen
