Q

Describe Flexibility Training.

A

Various types of stretching.
Reduces tension, lengthens muscle fibres and gives more range of motion.

Q

What does a Warm Up do?

A
  • increase pliability - reduces risk off tears, strains or sprains.
  • releases synovial fluid, which lubricators joints to prevent injury

Q

What do Massages and Foam Rollers do?

A
  • reduces tension and pressure with muscles
  • increases blood supply to targeted areas
  • breaks down scar tissue
  • engages skeletal muscle pump

Q

Describe Non-REM Sleep.

A

Deep quality sleep , helps muscle recovery.
In Non-REM sleep, brain is least active so blood is sent to the muscled in order to restore and heal tissue.

Q

Describe Nutrition in terms of Recovering.

A
  • carbohydrates restore energy in muscles
  • protein needed to build / repair muscle fibres
  • 3:1 ratio of carbs-to-protein

Q

What are the 5 Rehabilitation Methods?

A
  1. Proprioceptive Training.
  2. Strength and Conditioning.
  3. Hydrotherapy.
  4. Cryotherapy.
  5. Hyperbaric Chambers.
17
Q

Describe Proprioceptive Training.

A
  • ability of the muscles, joints and tendons to detect position and speed of movement
  • after injury, proprioception id impaired due to damaged tissue
18
Q

Describe Strength and Condition in terms of Rehabilitation.

A
  • can be used to strengthen the muscle of specific injured body parts
  • engages core muscles
19
Q

Describe Hydrotherapy.

A
  • exercises performed in water
  • water buoyancy reduces the load on joints
20
Q

Describe Cryotherapy in terms of Rehabilitation.

A
  • uses cold temperatures to treat injuries
  • liquid nitrogen, get chambers below 100C
  • cold relieves pain and swelling
  • blood leaves arms and legs in attempt to preserve core temp
21
Q

Describe Hyperbolic Chambers.

A
  • containers with high pressure and 100% O2
  • haemoglobin in blood gets fully saturated with oxygen and dissolves into blood plasma
  • injured body parts receive more oxygen to heal injured cells
22
Q

What are the 2 types of Injury?

A

Acute and Chronic

23
Q

Define Acute Injuries.

A
  • occur suddenly
  • too much force taking body part past its range of motion
24
Q

Symptoms of Acute Injuries.

A
  • severe pain
  • swelling
  • restricted movement
  • visibly deformed
25
Q

Examples of Acute Injuries

A
  • fracture
  • dislocation
  • sprain
  • strain
26
Q

Define Chronic Injuries.

A

Develops over time due to repetition of movement and load.

27
Q

Symptoms of Chronic Injuries.

A
  • dull ache at rest
  • pain gets worse during exercise
  • swelling
28
Q

Examples of Chronic Injuries.

A
  • achilles tendonitis
  • stress fracture
  • tennis elbow
