    HOW YOU MEASURE YOUR HEALTH?
    • BMI - AS WE ALL KNOW BY NOW BMI IS AN INACCURATE MEASURE OF
    AN INDIVIDUAL’S HEALTH. BMI IS STILL USED IN CLINICAL PRACTICES
    SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE WAY OF MONITORING
    MASS POPULATION HEALTH; HOWEVER, IT HAS MANY LIMITATIONS. BMI
    IS A POOR TRACKING TOOL FOR INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT CHANGES AS
    THERE IS NO WAY TO IDENTIFY IF CHANGES ARE FAT OR MUSCLE.
    EQUALLY, BMI CANNOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN HEALTHY AND TOXIC
    FATS. BMI OVERSIMPLIFIES HEALTH AND MORTALITY PREDICTION AND
    IGNORES IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD HEALTH.

    COMMON SPORTS INJURIES
    Individuals who engage in various types of physical activities such as sports and exercise
    have a higher risk of getting injured as compared to those who practice a sedentary lifestyle.
    However, the potential benefits of an active lifestyle outweigh the risks of suffering an injury.
    Most of the injuries are preventable and awareness of the risk factors will help in reducing the risk.

    ACUTE INJURIES
    OVERUSE/CHRONIC INJURIES
    Acute injuries have signs and symptoms that manifest
    immediately after force of application. On the other hand,
    Overuse injuries are common among individuals who have
    the signs and symptoms of chronic or overuse injuries been training for a long period of time with minimal rest nd
    occur after a long period of exposure to the force. Sprain, recovery between sessions. During training, the
    strain, fractures, dislocations and wounds are example of musculoskeletal structures receive higher loads than what
    acute injuries. An excessive stretching force can cause the is used to.
    fibers of the ligament, muscle or tendon to break.
    COMMON ACUTE INJURIES
    1. Sprain
    Sprain are overstretched ligaments. The ligaments stabilize and limit joint mobility. When the joint is forced into position that is
    beyond its normal range, it will overstretched the ligament.
    2. Strain
    Strain is a twist, pull, or tear of muscle or tendon (a cord of tissue that connects the muscle to bone). It also an acute, non-contact
    injury that results from overstretching or over contraction. Sometimes, a muscle would contract and generate a force that is
    significantly higher that what is usually does. The forceful contraction rapidly pulls the muscle-tendon unit, which can result to a
    muscle strain.
    3. Dislocation
    Dislocations commonly occur in joints that allow greater range of motion. The most common dislocations are located at the lower
    limbs such as the shoulder and elbow. These joints are commonly affected when an individual uses his/her hand to support his/her
    weight when she/he falls. When the bone is pushed out of the proper alignment, the injury will cause a deformity and constant pain.
    4. Fracture
    The most common fractures are located at the upper limbs such as the hand and forearm. Fractures are common in growing ones
    because it is less dense. There are also a higher number of fractures in the upper extremities because it is strong and compact as the
    bones in the lower extremities.
    5. Concussion
    Concussion are life-threatening injuries because they disrupt the normal function of the brain. A severe blow to the head could cause
    the blood vessels in the brain to rupture. As the bloods leaks out of the ruptured blood vessels.
