Coordination and Balance: Enhancing Physical Skills
Types of Coordination Training
a) General Dynamic Coordination: Using displacement types: start, run, creep, climb, slide. Employing all movement types and variety.
b) Eye-Hand and Manual-Dynamic Coordination: In launching and receiving. Key components: distance, trajectory, speed, collection, receptions (left and right). Exercises for throwing, hitting, and juggling.
c) Eye-Foot Coordination: Establishing a relationship between legs and movement. Based on hitting with different body parts and goals.

Justification
This unit is designed for first-grade students, aged 5-6, from a medium-high socioeconomic and cultural background. The class has 25 students (15 boys and 10 girls), including one child with hearing loss. This student is fully integrated into the class, and the teacher will ensure clear communication by positioning themselves visibly for lip-reading, vocalizing clearly, and emphasizing key points. Visual demonstrations will also be used. These students have basic motor skills (moving,

Muscle Energy, First Aid, and Injury Prevention Essentials
1. Define the Energy Contribution of the Body
The movement of the human body starts with muscle contraction, a process that requires energy. Therefore, our body needs different forms of energy supply. To provide energy, our bodies need nutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
2. What are the Necessary Nutrients to Obtain Muscle Energy?
- Sugars or carbohydrates are converted into glucose. If not used immediately, this glucose is stored in the liver as liver glycogen, in the muscle as muscle glycogen,
Common Sports Injuries: Diagnosis and Treatment
Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
Inflammation of the tendon on the lateral aspect of the elbow. Repeated contraction of forearm muscles strains tendon attachment points, often due to repetitive movements.
Causes
Excessive effort and repetitive motion in the lateral elbow area, common in activities like tennis.
Diagnosis
- Pain on the outside of the elbow.
- Localized pain with hand grip, wrist, or elbow extension movements.
- Pain during simple actions like lifting a bottle or cup.
- Decreased pain at night.
Treatment
Non-
