Informative Speech On Track And Field
I. Thesis and Intro: Track and field is a sport that involves the actions of running, jumping, and throwing. According to the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, the injury rate amongst high school track and field athletes is nine injuries per one thousand athletes. Injuries tend to happen due to the lack of practicing preventive methods before and after performing the basic and advanced skills in track and field. With a newly created exercise and stretch program, JST Essentials (Jumping, Sprinting, and Throwing Essentials), high school track and field athletes would be aware of how to prevent common injuries as well as how to take the proper precautions if one was to transpire. This way, the number of injuries will decrease, thus

Conclusion: Track and field involves the actions of running, jumping, and throwing. Injuries tend to happen due to the lack of practicing preventive methods before and after performing the basic and advanced skills in track and field. With JST Essentials (Jumping, Sprinting, and Throwing Essentials), high school track and field athletes would be aware and educated on how to prevent common injuries as well as how to take the proper precautions if one was to take place. A great number of injuries will decrease, thus making the track and field a more injury-free sport. The particular injury Iliotibial Band Syndrome (runner’s knee) would also decrease in number. This part of research explained how Iliotibial Band Syndrome is obtained which is mainly with people who activities that involve a lot of running. Providing information on certain activities in track and field such as the 3200 Meter run that cause Iliotibial Band Syndrome as well as how to prevent it. Iliotibial Band Syndrome is a common injury among many athletes, specifically track and field athletes but with proper preventive methods such as appropriate stretching and exercising this injury would decrease in
