since the previous user of the venue is careless.The following are examples of different
venues with its commonly expected rules and etiquette.
Playing court or field
A playing court or field may be indoors or outdoors, depending on the sport. Venues
and facilities are usually ready-to-use since these are specifically designed to certain
sports (e.g. basketball, football, volleyball, tennis, badminton). However, some venues
need to set up some equipment first, like table tennis, taekwondo, judo, arnis, taekwondo
etc.
Depending on the venue , those who utilize and set up equipment are expected to
properly fix, return, or store the equipment after use. It is proper decorum to keep the
venue clean and as orderly as possible after use. Here are some examples:

 Wipe off wet spots caused by your drinks and sweat.

 Properly throw away used exercise or sports gadgets and equipment like empty
water bottles, athletic tapes, shuttlecock feathers, etc.
 Report danger or risk to the management for it to be fixed before someone gets hurt
like slippery surface, dangling electrical wires, broken metal parts, uneven surface,
etc.
 Do not stay longer than needed by the activity as courtesy to next users.

These are either open or enclosed spaces sometimes with full-sized mirrors on
one or more sides. They usually cater to different types of dancers, which is why most
have wooden or metal railings called barres. Speakers and music system are usually
available for use. Like in playing courts and fields, depending on the venue, users of
dance area or halls are expected to return or swith off music players after use, turn off
lights and fans when not in use, and maintain the orderliness for the next users. Below

 Keep footwear and other belongings on the sides or designated areas (i.e.
lockers, benches, tables) to avoid being stepped on by others.
 Wipe off wet spots caused by drinks and sweat on the floor.
 If it is an open area, keep music volume low so as not to disturb other users.

weights, free weights, yoga balls, and other exercise apparatus (e.g. treadmill, stationary
bike, rower, stair climber), mats, etc. They are strategically positioned to allow movement
and easy access for all those who work out and exercise, therefore, it is expected that you
observe proper behavior during and after work out. Here are some of them:

using them.

Personal Protocols/ Etiquette Before-During-After a Physical Activity.
Here are some tips to stay safe during and after an exercise:
 Wear comfortable clothing. Choose your shoes and equipment properly and check if this
is right for the activity.
 Use an appropriate gear for the activity. It will help you to be safe while doing the activity.
 Taking warm-up and cool down before and after an activity will lower the risk of strains
and sprains.
 Take appropriate breaks during the activity. A recovery activity once a week is good to rest
your muscle pain.
 To give you some stamina, eat light food. But exercising immediately after a full meal will
affect your digestion.
 Be hydrated. Replenish extra fluids before, during and after physical act ivity, especially
for prolonged exercise.
 Beware of the weather and environmental conditions. Take it easy when doing an activity
especially when it’s hot.
 Listen to your body. Stop the activity and seek medical advice as soon as possible when
you are feeling unwell.
Proper Etiquette and Safety Standards in Facilities
 Read the rules and regulations of the place. We must be knowledgeable in various rules
inside the premises. If you have any questions, you must ask the information desk
personnel or the person in-charge.
 Maintain cleanliness and orderliness. Cleanliness is one basic etiquette we must observe
at all time.
 Be mindful to others. Always consider other people’s time and space. Do not distract their
activity.
