Safety Precautions in Doing

the Physical Activities


LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 At the end of the week, the students are expected to:
 
1. discuss the Safety Precautions in doing the different
physical activities;
2. appreciate the importance of Physical Fitness; and
3. Demonstrate the different physical activities
(exercise). 
Let’s have
Stretching &
Warm-up
Physical activity carries risks as well as
benefits. The most common adverse effects
of physical activity are burnout and
musculoskeletal injury. Depending on the
type of activity, injury risk can be augmented
with increased intensity, frequency, and
duration of activity. To minimize the risk of
activity-induced injuries, you should be
aware of the signs of over-exertion (such as
breathlessness and muscle soreness), and
take reasonable precautions.
Here are some exercise precautions and safety tips

• Always warm up before doing exercise and cool


down afterward to lower the risk of strains and
sprains;
•Take appropriate breaks during the activity;
•Do not exercise with an empty stomach. Eat
something light (such as toast with jam or skimmed
milk) to give you some stamina. Do not exercise
immediately after a full meal because this will affect
digestion;
•Replenish extra fluids before, during and after
physical activity, especially for prolonged exercise like
hiking;
•Beware of the weather and environmental
conditions. Avoid doing outdoor vigorous
exercises in hot or humid weather;
•Listen to the body. Do not exercise when
unwell. If there is dizziness, shortness of
breath, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, or
muscle and joint pain during exercise, stop the
activity and seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
