sports medicine clinics During the Georgetown clinic Firth described to his students many exercises and methods to help a young hockey player strengthen and stretch muscles Most of the questions Firth

old assist to a needy player Firth says that per cent of people surveyed had never had any first aid raining There is a large group of people who have misconcep tions about Injuries says Firth One example is the treatment of a bruise Its no good to apply heat because warmth speeds up the bleed What Is needed Imme diately after a bruise Injury Is pressure and a cold pack Firth says Along with the misconcep tions there is some worrying about the liability caused by helping an Injured player and sometimes there is a tendency for a person not to do anything when on injury occurs he says There has never been a case in Canada where a first aider has been sued and those who assist could be protected by Sama rltan Act says f you re planning on taking on the responsibility somebody has to assume some sort of liability for the children he says better to be trained in first aid and know what to do Firth soys The Idea of the tnlncrs clinic is to teach students the procedures for stabilizing an injury until help arrives The rote of a trainer is primarily to be on hand to offer first aid but other duties include ensuring the players are wearing good quality protective equipment

as injury aggravation poor fill equipment and the physi col condition of the team athletes Firth says Bob Firth of Hockey Ontario local residents what a trainer kit should High school report has
