Medical bags, first-aid kits for sports
During training and sports games, it is not difficult to have a situation that requires medical first aid. A major or minor injury may occur during a match. A player may also faint due to excessive exertion. Therefore, the coach should have a first aid kit equipped with products to respond quickly to the problem.
Medical bag
The medical bag is primarily associated with its use by emergency services. However, this type of accessory is also suitable for many other uses, including training. Thanks to the bag, you will be able to organise and conveniently and safely carry the products necessary for first aid. Properly equipped medical bags are essential in the event of unforeseen injuries on the pitch. During a fierce battle it is unfortunately easy to get injured. The quick response to an injury often determines whether the problem will worsen and become the cause of a player's prolonged absence from training. This is why every trainer must take a suitably equipped medical bag with him or her. He should also know how to use it. In this way, he or she can prevent problems caused by an injury during training and the injured person will recover quickly.

Select the contents of your medical bag according to your sport
It is a good idea to match the contents of the sports first aid kit and the number of specific products to the type of sport. The football team's medical bag should include bandages, elastic bandages and cold packs - accessories that will work for bruises, sprained ankles and abrasions. If the team will be training outdoors in the summer, it is worth equipping the bag also with sun cream and an anti-allergy kit necessary in case of bee stings. In addition, medical kit equipment should be selected according to the number of players. In the case of young children, a supply of paediatric doses must be included.
What else to keep in mind when planning the equipment of the first aid kit?
The medical bag should be located in an easily accessible place. The different modules in the first aid kit should also be clearly labelled so that they can be easily identified. It is a good idea to assign labels to them, such as: products for allergic reactions, specifics for wound treatment. The consumables need to be placed in a waterproof container that is resistant to temperature changes and water.
