R.I.C.E procedure is a method for treatment for the injuries above ◦ Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation Major Exercise-Related Injuries ◦ Fractures- any type of break in the bone; two parts of the bone have been separated ◦ Dislocations- when a bone slips from its normal position at a joint. ◦ Tendinitis- when the tendons, bands that connect muscle to bone, are stretched or torn Overexertion – an overworking of the body. Heat cramps - muscles spasms that result from loss of salt and water through perspiration. Heat exhaustion - overheating resulting in cold, clammy skin and shock symptoms Heatstroke - the body loses its ability to rid itself of excess heat through perspiration Frostbite - is a condition that results when the body tissue becomes frozen Hypothermia - body temperature is dangerously low In groups, read each case study aloud. Circle key points that promote the healthy behavior. Underline key points that prohibit the healthy behavior. On the lines provided, give advice for the person in the case study. Also make a note of what component of health they are struggling with. Anna has been a dancer for 8 years. She always enjoyed performing and hoped to make it a professional career.
