Critical thinking and problem solving

11 injured? How can we avoid different injuries in sports?

2 Watch the next part of Who’s the Caddy? How does Bitzer help
12 the farmer? What else can we do if we get a sports injury?

 Healthy eating for
athletes
I’m learning about eating healthily.

18 Read the leaflet about healthy eating for athletes. Write the headings.

Meal ideas What foods should athletes eat? What foods shouldn’t athletes eat?
Why is it important for athletes to eat healthily?

Athletes use lots of energy, so
they need to eat a lot of food.
However, it’s important for
them to eat the right types of
food. Some types of food are
good for our bodies and can
help us to get fitter and
stronger. Athletes should eat
healthy food and avoid
unhealthy food so they can get
better at their favourite sports.
Before athletes exercise, they
should eat foods that provide
energy, like pasta or bananas.
Foods like these help athletes
to feel good and perform well.
After exercise, athletes should
eat meals with beans, eggs or
chicken. These foods help their
muscles recover after exercise.
Athletes should try not to eat
foods with bad fats, like chips
or crisps, because these are
bad for the heart. It’s OK to
eat some of these foods, but
not too much. Another food
that is not healthy for your
body (or your teeth) is sugar.
If you want something sweet,
have an apple or some tasty
berries!

Breakfast: porridge Lunch: avocado on Dinner: fish, vegetables

Start your day the right
way by eating a healthy
breakfast! Porridge is a
great breakfast food.
It gives you energy for
the day.

toast
Avocado is a very healthy
fruit. It has lots of healthy
fats which are good for
your heart.
and rice
This is a delicious, balanced
meal. You can have a fresh
green salad too! Add
tomatoes, carrots and nuts
for extra vitamins.

team to get fit for a big sports event involving teams from lots of different schools.
It’s really important that your school wins, so you want to design a fitness plan. Your plan
