The main purpose of this activity is to provide teachers with an understanding and practical skills related to the initial handling of sports injuries, as well as mastery of basic masage techniques as part of the recovery process for students who experience injuries during sports.
The event was opened by the Head of the Education, Youth and Sports Office of Kebumen Regency, Yanie Giat Setyawan, S.Sos., M.Acc., who emphasized the importance of PJOK teachers' readiness in handling various incidents of sports injuries in the school environment.
