Topic Area What you should know

Topic Area 1: Different factors which influence the risk and severity of injury 1.1 Extrinsic factors can influence the risk of injury • Type of activity (e.g. team vs individual sports) • Coaching/instructing/leading (e.g. experience) • Environmental (e.g. weather, playing surface) • Equipment (e.g. clothing, footwear) 1.2 Intrinsic factors can influence the risk of injury • Individual variables (e.g. fitness levels, age) • Psychological factors (e.g. motivation, arousal) • Reasons for aggression (e.g. retaliation, performance) • Mental strategies (e.g. imagery, selective attention)

Topic Area 2: Warm-up and cool-down routines 2.1, 2.2 A warm-up can influence the risk of injury • Key components of a warm-up (e.g. pulse raising, mobility) • Physiological benefits (e.g. increase in heart rate) • Psychological benefits (e.g. improved concentration) 2.3, 2.4 A cool-down can influence the risk of injury • Pulse lowering • Stretching (e.g. maintenance stretches, static, PNF) • Physiological benefits (e.g. gradual reduction in heart rate)

Topic Area 3: Different types and causes of sports injuries 3.1 Acute injuries • Overview of acute injuries (e.g. sudden trauma) • Soft tissue and hard tissue injuries (e.g. connective tissue) • Strains (e.g. torn muscle, torn tendon) • Sprains (e.g. torn ligaments, ACL) • Skin damage (e.g. abrasions, lacerations) • Fractures (e.g. open, closed) • Dislocations • Head injuries (e.g. concussion) 3.2 Chronic injuries • Overview of chronic injuries (e.g. overuse) • Tendonitis (e.g. rotator cuff) • Epicondylitis (e.g. lateral – tennis elbow) • Shin splints

Topic Area 4: Reducing risk, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries and medical conditions

4.1 Measures to reduce risk SAMPLE • Safety checks (e.g. risk assessment) • Strategies (e.g. medicals) • Emergency action plans (EAP) (e.g. emergency personnel) 4.2 Responses and treatment • SALTAPS • DRABC

• PRICE • Recovery position • Use of x-rays • Overview of treatments (e.g. massage, ultrasound) • Psychological effects Topic Area 5: Causes, symptoms and treatment of medical conditions

5.1 Asthma • Overview of asthma and asthma attacks • Causes/triggers of asthma (e.g. environment) • Common symptoms of asthma (e.g. coughing) • Treatment (e.g. reassurance) 5.2 Diabetes • Overview of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes • Causes of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes • Common symptoms of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes • Treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes (e.g. insulin) • Monitoring and treatment of blood sugar levels 5.3 Epilepsy • Overview of epilepsy • Causes/triggers of epilepsy (e.g. anxiety) • Common symptoms of epilepsy affecting parts of the body • Treatment (e.g. anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs)) 5.4 Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) • Overview of SCA • Causes of SCA (e.g. underlying genetic heart condition) • Symptoms of SCA (e.g. breathing difficulties) • Treatment for SCA (e.g. defibrillators) 5.5 Other medical conditions • Overview of hypothermia • Causes of hypothermia (e.g. exposure to cold conditions) • Symptoms of hypothermia (e.g. blue lips/skin) • Treatment for hypothermia (e.g. wrap in blankets) • Overview of heat exhaustion • Causes of heat exhaustion (e.g. insufficient water intake) SAMPLE • Symptoms of heat exhaustion (e.g. headache) • Treatment for heat exhaustion (e.g. move to a cool place) • Overview of dehydration • Causes of dehydration (e.g. loss of fluid) • Symptoms of dehydration (e.g. feeling thirsty • Treatment for dehydration (e.g. drink a lot of water)
