NOTE: Safety in Sport & Getting to the Basics of Physical Fitness

• Know the Rules of your chosen sport.

• ALWAYS check that the playing area is safe to play on & that there are no dangerous objects
around or on it such as broken glass, protruding objects, holes in the area etc.
• Dress properly attired for the sport. You are not to wear any jewellery as this may cause an
opponent injury.
• Have the correct equipment.
• Play and compete fairly without causing harm or danger to yourself and fellow competitors.
• The language we use is also important.
• Before any practice session you must go through a warm-up routine to prepare the body for the
physical work that is to come. This will be an important focal point this term.
• At the end of each session, a cool down session must be observed following the guidelines that will
be given to you.
• Always stay hydrated i.e. drink water before, during and after your physical education lesson.
• Be careful with colds and flu and other ailments such as headaches. They may lead to feeling weak
during your workout or may be made worse by exercise. Make sure you are in good health for
exercise.
• Do not do all the exercises in one day.
