• Understand the aspects of sport which exist to

• Understand basic 1st aid.

5
Task One

• All sports or activities where competition is
  part of the game use things to protect the safety
  of its participants, spectators and supporters.
• Make a list in your books of Five aspects you
  think help to maintain safety in sport.
• For each idea give an example of where it exists
  within sport.

6
For Example.
Try to think of at least 10 examples.
7

Balanced Competition

• Would this be a fair competition in a wrestling

• Why?

10
Balanced Competition

• Another way to make sport safe is to try to level
  the competition by grouping competitors in
  different ways.
• This is called balanced competition.
• By weight such as in boxing.
• By skill level such as in judo.
• By sex such as in rugby.
• By age.

11
Balancing by Age.

• Although the age restriction is clearly an issue
  of even competition and safety, the situation
  often arises when two competitors in the same age
  band are a mismatch in terms of height and
  weight.
• Discuss with a partner whether you think this is
  the safest way to group children in competition.
  Can you think of any better options?

12
Task

• Put a new title the warm up and cool down.
• Using the black text book answer the following
  questions

• What are the important things to remember when
  completing phase two of the warm up.
• What are the three main reasons for completing a
  warm down after sport?

What Have We Learnt Today?

• That all practical activities involve risk.
• That there are many ways to protect ourselves
  from this risk.
• What balanced competition is.
• Why the warm up and cool down phases of physical
  activity are so important for preventing injury.
