Context UNDERSTANDING SAFETY AND RISK IN FITNESS ACTIVITIES
Overview Congratulations! You have successfully accomplished all the tasks from module 1. Now, you are ready to take on module 2. For
this module, you will understand safety and risk in fitness activities for 2 sessions (1 hour each session). It is expected that after
you finish this module, you will be able to identify and accurately explain safety protocols and first aid management in fitness
exercise activities. In effect, you can influence one’s self and others to safely engage in fitness activities and know how to
respond to emergency situations in any physical activities. Topic 2 – Lesson 2 will cover the following: hygiene and sanitation,
hydration, proper etiquette and safety in the use of facilities and equipment, and basic health emergency protocols during MVPA
participation. For any concerns and clarifications, students may send it through the school LMS portal or during teachers’
consultation hours for in-person conferences.

physical fitness activity?
SYNTHESIS In Lesson 2, you have learned the importance of being equipped with essential knowledge and skills to respond to health
emergencies during MVPA participation. Benefits of exercising will always outweigh its risks, especially when we know how to
take caution. When we exercise safely, we get maximum results.

LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING SAFETY AND RISK IN FITNESS ACTIVITIES
Point for Reflection (Formative Question): How safety precautions and first aid lead to the important role in participation in any physical fitness activity?

PART I. WHAT TO KNOW (UNDERSTANDING SAFETY AND RISK IN FITNESS ACTIVITIES)

SAFETY IN FITNESS ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION

Regular physical activity is important in the promotion of good health. While there are risks of injury in fitness activities, the benefits of performing it
outweighs the risks. When exercising, you need to know how to reduce your risks of exercise injury by following these recommendations:
1. Proper etiquette and Safety in the Use of Facilities and Equipment
 Read, understand, and follow all posted signs, rules, and expectations.
 Always observe all posted equipment instructions and warnings.
 Ask for assistance If there is a piece of equipment you do not know how to use.
 Wipe down the equipment with moistened wipes then discard the wipes appropriately.
 Take all extra personal equipment with you – including your water bottles or jugs, towels, etc.
 Put all equipment away – return equipment in their designated location and do not mix it in different racks/storage area.
2. Hygiene and Sanitation
 Ensure clean hands and avoid touching your face
 Hand washing for at least 20 seconds and shower at home before and after physical activity
 Cover coughs and sneezes- People should cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
 Ensure clean surfaces and equipment
 Make sure that any equipment provided is cleaned frequently
 Avoid sharing equipment
 Do not touch other people’s personal items such as water bottles, towels, or personal sports equipment such as rackets.
3. Hydration
When exercising, you tend to lose around one and a half liters of fluid for every hour of exercise. One of the early symptoms of dehydration is
fatigue. You may also be susceptible to cramps, heat stress and heat stroke. The following are simple guidelines to right hydration in Fitness activity
participation:
 Drink plenty of fluids for several hours prior to exercising. If well hydrated, you should be able to pass a good volume of clear urine an hour or so
before exercise.
 Drink at least 500ml (2 cups) an hour before exercise and at least 150ml every 15 minutes while exercising.
 Take advantage of all breaks in play to drink water.
 After exercising, make sure to drink water to ensure you are fully re-hydrated.

RISKS IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION
As a student, having the knowledge of the possible risks in physical activity participation is critical. It helps you to see the complete picture of what you will be
doing and prevents you from putting yourself in danger. This also makes you more aware of what to do when things go badly. You should go and see a health
professional to minimize exposure to risks in physical activity participation. The following items are some risks that you should take caution when performing
fitness activities:
 Intensity and type of current physical activity
 History of Cigarette smoking
 Low physical fitness level
 Improper use of protective equipment
 Environmental conditions
 Age
 History of injury
 Anatomical factors

PART II. WHAT TO PROCESS

ACTIVITY 2: FITNESS SWOT ANALYSIS
Instructions: For you to better prepare yourselves for fitness activity participation, you need to assess these four (4) aspects of your fitness. Answer each question by
reflecting on your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats in exercising.
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
 What do you do well (in relation to health/wellness/fitness?  What would you improve (in relation to healthy/wellness/fitness)?
 What do others see as your strengths?  Where do you have fewer resources?
 What behavior/skills will contribute to your progress?  How can you overcome these?

FITNESS
SWOT ANALYSIS
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
 Who/what in your life motivates you to be healthier?  What products, environments, or people could thwart your progress?
 What interests you {types of exercise, cooking, nutrition)?  Can your strengths/opportunities overcome these?
BASIC HEALTH EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS DURING MVPA PARTICIPATION

Page 4 of 7
It is important that we know how to respond to emergency situations in fitness activity participation because it is never a guarantee that someone will help you to
recover. Be sure that you are fully equipped to respond to these emergencies because the life that you might be saving is yours. Take a look at some of these ways
on how to respond to these situations: If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop exercising and seek medical help:
 extreme discomfort or pain
 chest pain or other pain that could indicate a heart attack, including pain in the neck and jaw
 pain traveling down the arm or pain between the shoulder blades
 Breathlessness
 Irregular heartbeat during exercise

If you've injured yourself, or felt an immediate pain, tenderness, swelling, bruising, and stiffness from overexertion or muscle strain or sprain: Assess the
situation. If you know that the case is not severe, Apply RICE method:
 Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.

For fractures:
Stop any bleeding by apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage
Immobilize the injured area and don’t try to realign the bone or push a bone that's sticking out back in.
Apply ice packs to limit swelling and help relieve pain. Don't apply ice directly to the skin. Wrap the ice in a towel, piece of cloth or some other material.
Treat for shock.

For wounds:
Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth.
Raise the injured body part to slow bleeding.

If you suspect for a heat exhaustion:

Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet. Remove tight or heavy clothing and have the person drink cool water. Cool the person by spraying or sponging
with cool water or by fanning.

If you observe symptoms of fainting like dizziness, light-headedness, having a pale face, and perspiration:
Position the person on his or her back
If there are no injuries and the person is breathing, raise the person's legs above heart level
Loosen belts, collars or other constrictive clothing.
