Final Exam Flashcards
What are the 5 major applications of sport massage?
1.) Recovery ( enhance athletes physical and mental recovery)
2.) Remedial ( to improve a debilitating condition)
3.) rehabilitation ( to facilitate healing after injury)
4.) maintenance ( to enhance recovery)
5.) event ( help the athlete prepare or recover from specific event)
What are 3 types of sports massage?
1.) event massage ( pre, inter, post)
2.) maintenance/training massage
3.) tx/rehabilitation/injury massage
What is the difference between a maintenance and treatment based massage?
Maintenance: help to train at a higher level. Regular massage given in a clinical environment intended to minimize normal aches and pains associated with training
Treatment: administered when a specific injury has occurred with the intention of fascilitating the healing process to safely return to activity
What is type of massage/strokes would you do for
1.) pre event
2.) internal event
3.) post event
1.) pre event= very fast, stimulators, arrhythmic
2.) cool down from previous performance and prepare for the next
3.) help to relax and recoup= Rythm is slower then pre but still fast, emphasis on circulatory movements
The emphasis of event type sports massage techniques is in FIBER SPREADING TO CREATE A DURABLE___________ ( which enlarges the capillaries to render the tissues more pliable)
Hyperaemia
Besides out main techniques such as EFF, COMP, XX, JOSTL, TAP, ROM, what are some secondary tools you can use?
Hydrotherapy
Strengthening
Stretching
Joint mobs
What are absolute CI’s for sports mm?
1.) acute injury
2.) hematoma
3.) fractures
4.) signs of hypothermia
5.) systemic infection
6.) loss of sensation/movement
7.) severe distress ( nausea, pain, fever)
What are relative CI’s for Pre event massage?
1.) long sedating techniques
2.) no cross fiber frictions to O’s and I’s
3.) national class athletes find pre event mm a problem if unaccustomed
What are relative CI’s for post event massage?
Depth
Decrease rocking
What are some important HH to obtain with your athlete?
1.) surgery or medical procedures
2.) medications or supplements
3.) use of hydro
4.) therapeutic exercise activities
5.) other forms of physical therapy
6.) nutrition
7.) training protocols
8.) training types
9.) sleep patterns
10.) breathing patterns
11.) mood
12.) cognitive load
13.) competition schedule
14.) practice and training schedule
15.) previous MM experience
What questions should be asked with acute injuries?
Have you hurt this area before?
How did you hurt it?
Did you hear a sound?
Were you able to continue your activity?
/10 how was the pain and how long did it last?
Was there swelling? Where did it occur?
What questions should be asked with chronic injuries?
What is the nature of the injury?
How much does it hurt? Where does it hurt?
How do you describe the pain?
Does it hurt to touch?
Does it hurt when you move?
When does the pain occur?
What injuries have happened in the past?
What first aidd therapy, if any were received?
What medications?
What are your aims for pre event massage and what techniques would you implement to achieve these goals?
AIM:
1.) increase circulation
2.) prepare tissue for peak performance
3.) decrease athletes susceptibility to injury
4.) enhance flexibility
5.) promote nervous balance
TECHNIQUE
1.) circulatory: comp, eff
2.) mechanical: xx fiber
3.) stimulating: jostling, tap, rock
4.) mobility: PROM, joint mobility
How long should a pre event mm be?
No longer then 15 minutes leading up to event.
NO sedating techniques two hours prior to event.
What are your aims for a post event massage, what techniques would you use to achieve these goals?
AIM:
1.) normalize circulation
2.) decrease mm spasm
3.) reduce affects of DOMS
4. ) facilitate body recovery
5.) help identify new injury sites
TECHNIQUES:
1.) circulatory: depth is a precaution ( comp, eff, petrisage)
2.) Mechanical to lengthen and mobilize tissue: comp, stretch
3.) moves to support gradual lowering of nervous stimulation; jostling, shaking, rocking
How long should a post event massage be?
20-40 minutes
Usually administered 15 minutes to 3 hours after the event
Training can be divided into into 3 instinct phases. What are they?
1.) Conditioning ( preparation)= developing aerobic fitness strength and power
2.) Pre competition ( transitional)= switches from pure conditioning to mechanical work
3.) competition
What are some factors that can increase injury in athletes?
1.) poor sleep
2.) changeover from heavy pre season training to competition
3.) return to play after mid season pause
4.) increased training and competition
5.) change of coach
6.) change of climate

What are some ways to prevent overuse injuries?
1.) structure training programs
2.) technique modifications
3.) nutritional strategies
4.) modifying extrinsic risk factors ( shoes insole, sports equipment)
5.) managing load
6.) protective equipment

What does DOMS stand for?
What are the DO’s and DON’TS for this condition?
Delayed onset muscle soreness
DO’s:
Light aerobics recovery workouts ( swimming)
