Recreational Activity

This document assesses recreational activities and the potential injuries associated with each activity. For each activity, it identifies whether the activity could potentially cause specific injuries and lists the first aid techniques needed to treat those injuries. Some common injuries addressed include sprained ankles, rotator cuff tendinitis, hamstring strains, tennis elbow, knee pain, fatigue, and Achilles tendonitis. The first aid techniques focus on RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), along with taking over-the-counter pain relievers and applying cold packs or compression sleeves.
