Back Safety isn’t just a work thing! The big picture…
Slide 18-

think of things you do at home… Washing dishes, pots & pans Carrying and loading groceries Picking up and carrying kids Walking the dog Yard work Raking, shoveling, sweeping Lawn mowing, snow removal Wheel barrels
Slide 19-

think of driving your car… Elbow resting on door, center console Wrist over steering wheel Buttock and back pain Posture Nerve and tissue compression Position of legs while driving Muscle strain: hamstring tightness Decreased circulation Increased pain – lateral right knee Upper neck/back tension and pain Muscle strain:upper trapezius Stress reactions, trigger points Eye strain Glare Dehydration
Slide 20-

think of sleeping in your bed… Neck posture Shoulder and arm posture Wrist posture Knee and hip posture Back posture For long periods of time: static and awkward positions, decreased circulation, increased compression!
Slide 21-

there is no magic solution… we are all unique in certain ways Age Gender Anthropometrics – Body Size & Shape Equipment accommodates 5th% female to 95th% male Skill Level General Health and Condition
Slide 22-

Injury Prevention… Conditioning is key! Strength and Stability Flexibility Aerobics for endurance Anaerobics for recovery
Slide 23-

Aerobic Exercise 20-30 minutes per day Enhanced circulation - healthier heart Weight management benefit Increases endurance & decreases recovery time Enables sustained performance without increased stress to body systems Breathing rates return to normal quicker after strenuous work Heart maintains more constant rate as opposed to peaks and valleys
Slide 24-

Other benefits of conditioning… Reduction in blood pressure Increase in good (HDL) cholesterol Decreased total cholesterol Increased heart function Decreased body fat stores Increased aerobic capacity Decreased clinical symptoms of anxiety, tension, depression Possible reduction in mortality in post-heart attack patients
Slide 25-

Making Physical Activity a Part of Your Life. There are 1440 minutes in every day...Schedule 30 of them for physical activity.
