As the manager of an outdoor ed centre you have decided to raise awareness to your users of the potential risks and injuries of different sports which take place in your facilities. You have decided that publishing a factsheet would be the most effective way to communicate this important information. Your factsheet must include a table which:  Describes six risks and hazards associated with sports participation (P1) In order to gain the higher grades for this assignment you should also: Explain risks and hazards associated with sports participation (M1). Give a detailed account of why participants are at risk of injury when taking part in sport (D1) Assignment brief
