, Introduction
In this assignment I will describe all of the extrinsic factors that can lead to injuries and explain
how these factors actually lead to injury. I will then describe all of the intrinsic factors that can
lead to injuries and explain how these factors actually lead to injury. Next, I will go on to describe
the coach’s role in the prevention of injury, and explain why taking certain measures is important
in maintaining participant safety. I will then go to describe the role of the participant in preventing
injuries and explain why taking certain measures is important in maintaining their safety. I will
then complete a health and safety report on one sport or activity. Finally, I will explain how the
coach, the performer and the sport itself prevent in injuries in that particular sport.
Intrinsic factors
Intrinsic - A risk or force from within the body. These are internal forces, which are stresses from
within the body. They can’t be inherently changed.
An intrinsic risk factor is a physical aspect of the athlete's body that can cause an injury. These
include:
Training effects
Individual Variables
Postural defects
1. Training effects
Due to anatomical differences and abnormalities (such as muscle imbalance), undue
stresses can be placed on different parts of the body, which could potential cause injuries.
Poor or inadequate preparation for sports training and competition places risks on athletes.
It is absolutely essential for an athlete to prepare for sport both mentally and physically
before participating.
A warm up is an essential aspect of preparation for sport. Appropriate flexibility is also a
vital component, as a lack of flexibility will place physical stress and risk on an athlete.
Lack of general fitness will also yield intrinsic risks. Particularly when combined with
intrinsic risks.

2. Individual variables
Having the correct fitness levels to play your chosen sport minimizes the risks of injury.
Playing at an appropriate level is also crucial, as playing sport with individuals with either
superior or inferior fitness levels and/or age and physical development will bring about risk
to yourself and others.
An individual’s anatomy can predispose them to certain injuries and a history of certain
injuries can make them more susceptible to anatomical abnormalities. A history of injury
