ATHLETICS & RECREATION

Welcome

Dear McMaster Students, Faculty, Staff and Community

Dear McMaster Students, Faculty, Staff and CommunityOn behalf of the Department of Athletics and Recreation, welcome back to McMaster! We are looking forward to a great year with many new services to help you with your activity goals. Last year we invited 3,000 McMaster students to complete the NASPA Recreation Benchmarking Study, a comprehensive survey on the recreation programmes offered at McMaster. We got lots of great feedback from the survey. Thank you to the hundreds of students who participated in the survey. Winners of the survey draw were: Sally Musa, Peter Otyeka and Thai-Son Tang who won a $200 gift card for the Campus Store.

Based on your feedback, we have made many positive and exciting changes. We are extending building hours during the exam period and on Friday evenings during the academic year. We have added several new recreational swim times and a Wibit Flibber in the pool (just google it!). In addition, you’ll notice enhancements in the Pulse Fitness Centre. We have done $150,000 in upgrades to fitness equipment and other equipment. We have expanded spots in intramurals to help with decreasing an expanding waiting list. And finally, to make all of our drop-in gym, pool and track schedules and recreation programmes easier and faster to find, we have invested in the creation of a Mobile App. The Get Rec’d App will launch at the beginning of September.

Be active and feel better physically and mentally!

.PLAY SAFEWe want your experience in the Athletics and Recreation Complex and Stadium to be fun, enjoyable and good stress relief from the pressures of studying! There are many inherent risks of sport and activity. By following some simple safety rules you can help prevent injuries and play safe.

1) Have you eaten today? Make sure you eat a healthy meal and hydrate well before any kind of work out or activity (usually an hour or more prior to exercise)

2) Drink water while working out to prevent dehydration.

3) Warm up adequately for the sport or activity you are playing. If you need some ideas, speak to the personal trainers in the Pulse.

4) Wear all mandatory and recommended safety equipment for your sport – eye goggles are mandatory for playing squash, wear a helmet while skate boarding, cycling or in-line skating. Use safety harnesses during climbing activities.

5) In the locker rooms, wear flip flops in the shower and dry off after showering before entering the locker area.

6) In the Pulse, remember to put your equipment away after use and take extra precautions when putting dumbbells back onto the rack to avoid pinched fingers. Ask a trainer if you are unfamiliar with the use of a particular piece of equipment. They are there to help!

7) Moving soccer, basketball and volleyball nets can be dangerous if you are not trained. Please do not move them, just ask for assistance from the Service Desk.

8) Know your limit! Everyone has good days and bad days. Listen to your body and only push yourself when it is appropriate and take days off of activity when it makes sense for you.

9) Rememberit’sjustagame!Thereiszerotoleranceforaggressivephysicalorverbalabuse.

Remember - If you do get injured, assistance is available at the Pulse front desk and the DBAC Service Desk. The Sport Medicine and Rehabilitation Centre can help you get back to playing through a variety of health care services.

KUNG FUShaolinKung Fu ClubThe McMaster Shaolin Kung Fu Association provides an active and supportive forum in which members develop and hone individual expression in the martial arts. This is achieved through extensive study of the ageless forms of Shaolin. The Association stresses a non-competitive atmosphere, instead focusing on a strive-together framework that incorporates study of both offensive and defen-sive techniques. Training sessions will generally consist of an intensive guided instructional period during which the students are exposed to the Shaolin com-bative methods. This is followed by a period of conditioning and sparring, where members are encouraged to put into practice the techniques they have been taught. Members are free to participate in sparring sessions as much or as little as they feel comfortable. One of our priorities is to create a relaxed, non-com-petitive and safe environment in which students are able to extend their limits withintheircomfortzones.Wefight,welaugh,welearn,weachieve.Instructor:AmarHamamy(Chief )andSalvatoreD'Amore
