Health Tips |

Safe Sporting Tips from the Physio!
-- Mark Wu, Physiotherapist (University of Sydney)
|
|
|
|
Warm up before you start physical activity. An ideal warm-up consists of exercises with gradually increasing intensity to a level similar to what you are about to do.
|
|
Stretching is best done after you have warmed up your muscles. Hold each position for 10-15 seconds and repeat 2-3 times.
|
|
Proper equipment helps protect you from injuries, and this includes things such as mouthguards, knee braces, ankle taping, etc. For women this also means a supportive sports bra.
|
|
Good techniques and skills are essential in preventing injuries. Stop training if you feel too tired to concentrate on what you are doing.
|
|
Sunscreens with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30+ are essential for protecting your skin against harmful UV rays in outdoor sports. You should reapply every 2-4 hours.
|
|
Drink plenty of water. You should drink up to 500ml per hour when you are doing intense exercises or working out in extreme heat.
|
|
RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) is first aid for simple soft tissue injuries such as sprained ligaments and strained muscles. Seek medical help if in doubt.
|
|
Consult a health professional (doctor, physiotherapist) if your symptoms are severe or persist for more than 2 days.
