OVERALL: The main goal of pre screening is to identify any previous, ongoing or reoccurring health issues, create a suitable training programme for those with medical issues, check the motivation of the athlete and what goals they have with in the sport and to collect information about the age, weight, exercise history and previous experience of the athlete. This also helps to prevent injuries, promotes motivation and increase productivity within the sport and decrease muscle soreness

WHY: Having good skill and technique help to prevent injury especially overuse injuries and promotes a good performance

OVERALL: These are used to protect the athlete from injury and are enforced to referees and umpires on the field, these are different to each sport

EXAMPLES :These rules can include - the size of the field/ court - the length of the competition - the number of breaks - what equipment must be used - what is foul or unfair play

OVERALL: These have been enforced in junior sports to lower the risk of injury and focuses on participation and enjoyment rather than results, and create a safe environment.

EXAMPLE: Ball sizes, Field sizes, duration of activities, smaller distances and smaller goals

AGE: This can help to match opponents physically and physiologically, limited due to children growing at diffrent rates

SIZE: Helps to reduce the risk of injury through matching with someone who has the same age and development, but is limited due to skill level of diffrent athletes

SEX: Done for safety and to promote the wellbeing of the athlete, males will have higher testosterone levels, so they will have larger muscles than women so can increase risk of injury

WHY: All grounds and facilities needs to be maintained to keep the athletes well being in mind, to prevent the chance of injury, clubs, council's and associations are responsible for this

OVERALL: A requirement in most sports, should be comfortable and fit the athlete, this helps to promote the athletes safety and wellbeing and protect the athlete from injury that could occur, this equipment is designed specifically for the sport, some equipment may be compulsory ( helmet ) and some may not be ( shin pads), equipment should be maintained for it to be the most effective.

SKILL LEVEL: Dependant on size and age, helps to promotes the wellbeing of the athlete

OVERALL: Grounds need to be free from rubbish, have adequate lighting, a defibrillator and be able to have access for an emergency vehicle.

HOW: Clubs are responsible for providing seating for spectators as well as first aid, and determining when to play in wet weather

OVERALL: The equipment needs to be kept in working order and checked regularly if not it has an increased risk of injury to the athlete

WHY: It needs to suit the athlete in specifically children who use modified equipment to decrease injury risk

OVERALL: normal body temperature- 37 above or below considered a fever or dangerous

CONVECTION: Heat gained by motion of fluid such as AIR or WATER- removing heat from our body, naturally occurs.

CONDUCTION: Heat gained by contact between 2 objects- hotter object to cooler object- helps to loose heat if the athlete is to hot but can be dangerouse if athlete is in contact with something that is to hot

RADIATION: The transfer of energy to to the atmosphere to loose heat but our bodies will also gain heat if in hot conditions.

EVAPORATION: MAIN MECHANISM, transfer of heat from our body to water while it evaporates to the atmosphere. Experienced athletes will begin to sweat before needed to lower body temperature as training continues.The higher the humidity the less effective evaporation is. CALCULATED BY LOSS OF WEIGHT + THE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDS CONSUMED IN L, THEN DEVIDE BY TIME GIVES SWEAT RATE IN L/HR.

OVERALL: The cold weather increases the risk of hypothermia as the body looses energy due to evaporation and radiation while blood vessel's also constrict and blood flow to muscles is limited

WHY: the body loosing more heat and body temperature dropping to unsafe levels through radiation, other surfaces are also going to be cold, our bodies will also continue to loose heat through evaporation, as cold weather often comes with rain

HOW: Athletes can maintain a normal body temperature by wearing jackets, long clothing and warming up properly

OVERALL: Increases convection, can be dangerous in cold conditions as body cools quickly

OVERALL: can make courts and surfaces slippery making conditions dangerous and increases the risk of hyperthermia largely

HOW: The body looses heat through convection as water runs over the surface of the skin

OVERALL:Athletes who compete at high or low altitude levels experience low oxygen levels, which if the athlete hasn't acclimatised correctly can damage their health

HOW: less oxygen is being transported to vital muscles and organs

OVERALL: The body can loose sweat, water is needed for thermoregulation, a reduce in water can cause a drop in blood pressure meaning less blood is being transported to muscles and can also cause fatigue lowering the athletes performance, this can further lead to heat stroke and death

HOW: Athletes should drink water through out the day around 480-600mls, leading up to the event around 240- 360 mls and after the event 1.5 l for every kg lost in weight, an athlete shouldn't consume more than more than 1l per hour

WHY: To prevent sever dehydration and improve performance

OVERALL: STAGES: Cognitive, assosiative and autominous. An autominous athlete is able to perform the skill while being aware of their surroundings

EXAMPLES: speed, Agility, reaction time, balance, coordination, power

OVERALL: stretching can be used in a cool down in order to delay muscle soreness and bring the athlete back to pre exercise heart rate

OVERALL: Specific to the sport, allow increased flexibility and strength in the muscles in preparation for play, should begin gradually and end at full intensity, with out a warm up the athlete is at risk of injury

OVERALL: Should be used full body first the individual stretches specific to the sport
