Integrated Risk Management for Leisure Services provides both students and professionals with a systematic approach to safety.
By integrating risk management, accident prevention and emergency response with information on legal liability, it enables leisure service providers to devise and implement strategies aimed at reducing or eliminating injury, property damage and financial loss.
It is based on a four-phase integrated risk management model. The first three phases focus on negligence, the accident process and risk management plans to reduce or eliminate injury, damage or loss.
The fourth phase focuses on what to do after an incident occurs and how to reduce the impact of injury, damage or loss.

The resulting increased blood and oxygen flow to the pre-frontal cortex may explain the effects, suggests new research.
Researchers trawled medical research databases for studies looking at the impact of physical exercise on higher brain functions, such as memory, concentration, planning and decision-making, in three groups: 6 to 12 year olds; 13 to 17 year olds; and 18 to 35 year olds.

Researchers have disclosed that while millions of Brits love to boast ‘Right I’m off to the gym ‘ when leaving the office, only half of them will actually complete a serious workout.
The other half ‘go through the motions’, usually because they are there to look at the opposite sex, don’t know how to use the equipment or simply don’t want to sweat.
The study also found that the 50 per cent of gym users who don’t take the workout seriously, spend the majority of their visit chatting with friends and reading.
