(3 marks) /23 marks PART B: Physically Active Teens Stay Out of Trouble Read the article Physically Active Teens Stay out of Trouble and answer the questions that follow. Physically Active Teens Stay Out of Trouble By: Amy Norton Teenagers who stay active, participating in anything from football to skateboarding, are less likely than their sedentary peers to smoke, drink or take other health risks, new research shows. Much has been made about the importance of exercise in fighting the swelling problem of childhood obesity. But just as important are the effects regular physical activity can have on kids behavior, according to Dr. Penny Gordon-Larsen, the lead author of the new study.

4 There are clearly benefits to exercise other than weight control, said Gordon-Larsen, an assistant professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. And kids who spend their free time in front of the TV are missing out on those benefits, she added. "It s clear that there can be adverse effects of watching TV." Gordon-Larsen said, pointing to research that has linked violent or sexual content in television shows to kids behavior. But beyond whatever effects media may have, she said, children who spend their free time on the couch miss out on the socialization, team work and skill development that comes with being active. Among the nearly 12,000 middle- and high-school students in her study, those who were physically active were less likely than their couch-potato peers to smoke, drink, use drugs or have sex. Also, they often had higher self-esteem and better grades. "Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were better off than kids who watched a lot of TV." said Gordon-Larsen. The findings, which are published in Pediatrics, also show that activity does not simply mean traditional sports. Kids who favored "alternative" activities, like skateboarding, had higher self-esteem and were less prone to taking health risks, Gordon-Larsen pointed out. The bottom line for parents, according to the researcher, is that they should encourage their kids to pursue whatever physical activities they happen to enjoy. If mom and dad can handle a skateboard themselves, even better. Teens in the study who engaged in sports and exercise with their parents were particularly likely to stay on the straight and narrow. Questions: 1. What point is Norton trying to get across in this article? (2 marks) 2. Do you agree or disagree with Norton? EXPLAIN. (4 marks) 3. List three things that you would do to keep your children active and help prevent them from risk taking behaviors. (3 marks) /9 marks

5 Part C: Diving and Safe Water Entries Diving is a popular water activity enjoyed by many -but the risk of head, neck and spinal cord injury also means diving could be extremely dangerous without proper training and taking appropriate precautions Before diving, it is important to think about how you'll enter the water, and to make safe choices before you do so. By the Numbers 1. Diving is the leading sports-related cause of spinal cord injuries. Many diving incidents leave the diver completely paralyzed from the neck down % of diving injuries occur in water 1.5m deep or less, in an unsupervised setting with no warning signs. 3. The average person who suffers a diving-related spinal cord injury is male, years old, with no formal training in diving and who is visiting the location for the first time. 4. Statistics show that spinal injuries are rare during supervised diving into water that is at least 2.7m deep. 5. Over half of diving injuries and deaths involve alcohol and/or drug use. 6. Over 40% of spinal injuries caused by careless diving occur in backyard pools. Prevention In familiar and unfamiliar water, always enter feet first, the first time to be sure of the water depth and be aware of any hazards. Diving headfirst into water should be avoided unless the individual is properly trained and certain that the water is deep enough. There are many factors to consider when determining whether or not it is safe to dive: height, weight and skill level of the diver; length and depth of the diving area; and the height from which the dive will be taken. There isn't a specific water depth that will be safe for all divers-what's safe for one person might not be safe for another. Most in-ground home and hotel pools, even those fitted with a diving board, are unsafe for diving, particularly for adult males. The deep end is often too short and the diver can strike his head on the slope of the pool leading up toward the shallow end. Avoid alcohol when swimming or diving-even small amounts can increase the risk of injury. In open-water settings, obey "No Diving" signs/ markings and diving depth regulations. Check the shape and length of the pool or waterfront bottom to be sure the diving area is large enough and deep enough for the intended dive. It should be twice your height for the whole dive. Dive only where there is ample clearance from the point of entry to the up-slope in front of the take-off point (i.e. deck or dock). The presence of a diving board does not necessarily mean that it is safe to dive. Only dive in clear, unobstructed water. Always check first for objects under the surface such as logs, stumps, boulders and pilings, and be aware of variable or changing depths. Questions: Make sure you read the paragraph above to find some answers. (17 marks) 1. Do you know anyone who has sustained a spinal injury due to diving? If so, explain. (1 mark) 2. What was the message the movie tried to convey to teens? (2 marks)

6 3. Do you think it is the home owner s responsibility to prevent injuries and/or decrease risky behaviour such as drinking and diving in the pool? Explain. (2 marks) 4. Do you think it is difficult to stop friends who are behaving is risk taking behaviour? (2 marks) 5. What is the leading sports-related cause of spinal cord injuries? (1 mark) 6. 95% of diving injuries occur in water deep or less, in an unsupervised setting with no warning signs. (1 Mark) 7. What is the average age and gender of those who suffer diving-related spinal cord injuries? (2 marks) Age: Gender: 8. What increases the chance of diving related injuries and death?
