DOne Flashcards
Psychology, Rehab, protective equiptment and FMS
When do the most stressful life events occur?
25 yo
How can life stress be measured?
Social and athletic re-adjustment scale
What is the relationship between life stress and injury risk?
Factors that induce life stress increase individuals risk of injury
What are the 2 catagories of stress?
Eustress and distress
What is the effect of major life stress on individuals?
Individuals with low support network and poor support skills can be detrimental
Why does increased life stress increase injury risk?
Increase physical strain on the body, concentration impacted and risk of illness increased
Whats the connection between personality and stress?
Perceptual state and so patterns of stress can be identified by personality types
What personality type is most at risk?
Type A
What is the stress response?
How an individual responds to a stressful situation
Why is stress subjective?
It is the thoughts and bodies way of dealing with different thoughts
What psych factors increase likelihood of injury?
History of stress, personality, coping resources, psychological interventions, treatment, recovery process and return to competition
What are the 5 stages of the emotional response to injury?
Denial, anger/frustration, depression, acknowledgement/acceptance and reintegration
How do individuals move through the stages of emotional response?
Progression is not linear, regression can occur
What other areas of recovery does reintegration include?
Developing strength, flexibility, technique and psychological skills (imagery)
What are the negative consequences of injury?
Emotional upheaval, self-pity, difficulty coping and questioning
What are the benefits of injury?
Personal growth, psychological performance enhancement, physical/technical improvements
How is rate of recovery affected by resilience?
Individuals with greater resilience have greater ability to cope with setbacks and change their rate of recovery
How does stress response aid recovery?
Better stress responses allow for individuals to recover in a shorter amount of time
What are the actions of fast healers to promote recovery?
Goal-setting, healing imagery, positive self-talk, intrinsically motivated
What are the actions of slow healers in response to injury?
Low compliance to rehabilitation, non-acceptance, lack of personal responsability, lack of belief, not proactive
What are practical sugesstions to improve psych post injury?
Set daily goals, develop physio plan, mentally preparem healing imagery, postive thoughts, prepare for setbacks, educate about the process
How can team mates provide social support to an injured player?
Show compassion, help take them take responsibility, maintain contact, reintegrate where possible, listen and show care, share emotion/physical/information to show positive attitude
What steps can be taken towards injury prevention?
Avoid over training, promote recovery, good nutrition, stress management techniques, physiological and psychological education
What is the benefit of flexible muscles?
Absorb and dissipate force so less energy return, impact spread through the muscle belly
Why is it important to stretch through the range of movement, not just at ROM?
Enhances muscle length and increases flexibility
What is the effect on regular stretching on neural pathways?
Interrupts the pathways that force co-contractions and prevent stretch going further, switching them off increases the depth of the strength
How can tendons be affected by strength and flexibility training?
Reduces strain injuries by strengthening a non-contractile tissue, higher strength and endurance
When does the hamstring quadriceps ratio begin to cause injury?
Hamstring below 60% of quad strength
What is a isokinetic training system?
Controls angels and speed, isolating the muscle groups to target rehab, concentric to concentric contraction
Why is early mobilization important?
Rescues degree of postinjury disability to reduce scar tissue build up
Why does exposure to tensile forces improve strength of tissues?
Improves quality and strength of the connective tissues at the site of injury and the organisation of regenerating muscle fibers - only occurs with no pain
Why are isometric contractions good for rehab?
There is reduced pain as there is no movement prevents atrophy of muscles, same progression to build back the strength of the muscle
What is the progression of contractions?
Isometric - isotonic (concentric) - concentric-eccentric coupled activities - sport specific - replication of force in game
What does rehab allow?
Increased contractile strength, increased tensile strength, increased neuromuscular control, decreased scar tissue build up
What are the 3 muscles in the hamstring group?
Semimembranosus, semitendinosus and bicep femoris
What is the hamstring required for?
Explosive and repetitive movements
