PE9.11
Apply an understanding of how to prevent (e.g., using proper technique) and care for a variety of movement activity-related injuries (e.g., sprains, breaks, contusions, skin irritations, concussions).
Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Identify and apply the biomechanical concepts of efficient movement (e.g., centre of gravity, body alignment) that are important for safe exercising in lifting and carrying activities (e.g., bend knees, hold object close to body, avoid twisting positions, keep head position neutral) to prevent injury while participating in movement activities.

(b)

Respond appropriately to a variety of role-played and/or `teachable moment' situations (e.g., injured teammate who has "rolled an ankle", unconscious child in a playground) using basic first-aid procedures and techniques.

(c)

Propose options for how to support injured joints (e.g., tensor wrapping, taping) and practise applying options available.

(d)

Make connections between the understanding and skills that are being developed and career options that are associated with the prevention and care of activity-related injuries that result from participation in movement activities.
