SELF PROTECTIVE STRATEGIES: a) Water environment	knowing your own swimming ability. Avoid entering water if waters are rough and use ropes. Enter water slowly. Take flotation devices and rescue aids to help you.
SELF PROTECTIVE STRATEGIES: b) Traffic	Heavy traffic is a risk for the first aider. Ask bystanders to direct the traffic or create a barrier.
SELF PROTECTIVE STRATEGIES c) Electrical situations	Approach with caution. Single out the source of power. Turn off power at source, using a non conductor. Don't touch objects in contact with fallen or exposed wires.
SELF PROTECTIVE STRATEGIES d) Viruses that are spread through bodily fluids	Face shield when doing CPR To avoid risk of contracting blood borne viruses such as HIV AIDS or hepatitis,wear disposable latex gloves. Hygienically dispose of any object covered in blood.
SELF PROTECTIVE STRATEGIES e) Debriefing and counseling	After the first aid situation, these will decrease the emotional impact on the first aider. Without support, it is likely that the first aider can be impacted emotionally, becoming depressed or withdrawn.
Exercise at home	Exercise at home is especially convenient for those who work long hours or have children. Most people have turned to modern, new and innovative exercise equipment to improve/maintain their fitness, whilst remaining in the comforts of their own home or garage.

How many bones, muscles and joints are there in a normal human body?	206 bones Over 200 joints Over 650 muscles
What are the four main types of bones and provide examples for each	Long bones: radius, Ulna Short bones: Carpals, scaphoid Flat bones: Ribs, scapula Irregular bones: Spinal cord
What are ligaments?	Bundles of strong fibrosis bands that connect bone to bone. They tighten when the muscle is under pressure so prevent excess movement
What are tendons?	inelastic cords of connective tissue. They attach muscle to bone and assist the ligaments by holding the joints closed.
Immoveable or fibrosis joints	No movement possible. Eg the joints that connect the 8 bones that make up the skull.
Slightly moveable or fibrosis	Offer some protection in absorbing shock. eg. The cartilage disks that sit between each of the vertebrae in the human spine.
Synovial joints	The synovial joint also allows the bending, extending, and rocking from one side to the other through the ellipsoidal joint. In addition to this, it absorbs shock and prevents jarring.
What are the six types of synovial joints?	Ball and socket, Hinge, gliding, saddle, condyloid, pivot.
Flexion and extension	Flexion is the bending movement that causes a decrease in the angle between the bones at the joint eg. bicep curl Extension is the straightening movement that causes an increase in the angle between the bones at the joint eg. the end phase of a bicep curl.
Abduction and adduction	Abduction: moving the body part in a lateral plane away from the midline of the body eg. performing a star jump Adduction: moving the body part back towards the midline of the body
Inversion and eversion	Inversion is the rotation of the foot so that the sole turns inwards. Eversion is the rotation of the of the foot so that the sole turns outwards.
Rotation	The movement of a bone turning on a central axis eg. the neck turning from one side to the other
circumduction	combination of other movements that results in a circular or cone like pattern eg. bowling a cricket ball
Pronation and supination	Pronation occurs when the radius rotates around the ulna so that the hand is facing with the palm down Supination is the movement that occurs when the radius rotates around the ulna so that the hand is facing upwards
What are the 3 types of muscles in the human body	Skeletal, smooth and cardiac
Oxygen exchange	There are over 600 million alveoli in a healthy human lung. They are the site of oxygen exchange. Oxygen inhaled into the lungs passes into the thin wall of the alveoli into the blood stream. At the same time co2 passes back into the lung through the wall of the alveoli.
What is first aid?	The initial help given to a casualty based on the first aiders knowledge, experience and skills.
What is CPR?	Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of external air resuscitation (EAR) and external Cardiac Compressions (EEC)
What does individual needs to consider when administering first aid?	Safety of themselves and the casualty, the control the transmission of blood bone viruses such as HIV AIDS and hepatitis

O-Observe: Observe the injured person, if the appear to be distressed. Check for any signs of bleeding, dislocation or swelling. Assess if the athletes form of movement was restricted compared to any other parts of the body. P-Prevent further injury: Prevent any further injury by using the TOTAPS method: Talk: determine what has happened by asking the casualty Observe: compare the injury to the other side and see if there is any injury/deformity Touch: gently feel the area to see if anything is out of place Active movement: ask the injured person if they can move the area Passive movement: gently try to move the area to see what pain is occurring. Skills test: ask the injured person to do a test using movement they were doing before the injury.
When would you use the STOP method?	The Stop, Talk, Observe, Prevent further injury method is used to manage injuries when the casualty is conscious, even though the injury may still be severe.
