Participation in sport carries potential for injury. According to AEIS, sport injury is the second cause for CMC AED attendance for age 5-14, whereas it is the third cause of AED attendance for age group of 15-24. Most sports injuries are related to lower limbs injury that can be treated effectively, and most people who suffer injuries can return to a satisfying level of physical activity after an injury. Many sports injuries can be prevented if people take the proper precautions. Therefore government departments such as LSCD, Department of Health promulgate precautions taken prior to any physical exercise via media, notice in the district leisure service offices, schools, etc. Information on common types of sport injury, preventive measures taken can be download from the web site of Central Health Education Unit, Department of Health. Besides, posters are available to increase public awareness on safety measures taken during physical exercises.
