ABSTRACT:
Sports and recreation activities are always exposed to various safety
issues before, during and after activities. Positive practices could avoid the
occurrence of accidents that caused injuries to the participants. Risk management
practices are the most important element in the organization or management of
sports and recreation activities. This element is significant in increasing the
wellbeing of a society where a safe and healthy population can be developed.
Each activity that was about to be organized and the facilities provided must
be free and safe from incidents that could cause injuries either direct or
indirectly. The development in sports and recreation activities need the
involvement of knowledgeable, skilled and qualified personnel in order to offer
various products and services to the society.
The products and services offered could develop a competitive and
precise economy to the nation. Sports and recreation activities as well as
others could offer new business prospects, services and latest products. The
objective of this article was to look into and explain how risk management practices
through sports and recreation activities could help assure and secure the
quality and wellbeing of a society.
