Author Description

"This resource on musculoskeletal wellness for PE practitioners provides specific evidence on injuries and dysfunction amongst PE teachers in Singapore schools. Such evidence is meaningful as it enhances the awareness on injury risks, types of injuries and body parts at a higher risk of injuries and dysfunction. This resource also provides exhaustive illustrations on flexibility, strength and stability exercise. With this knowledge, the PE teachers can work towards strengthening and conditioning the specific body parts to better cope with the biomechanical loading and prevent and/or minimise the occurrence of injuries. A better state of musculoskeletal wellness will lead to enhanced mobility and functional capabilities that will translate into higher quality lesson delivery, greater capability to deal with the workload-related demands of teaching PE and a better quality of life throughout and even following the teaching career."--Back cover
