Q

Stress fractures

A

Muscles become fatugued so cant absorb the added shock of exercise. So it transfers stress overload onto bone and causes a crack . Area become tender and swollen.

Q

Tennis elbow occurs in

A

Muscles attached to elbow used to straighten wrist

22
Q

Tennis elbow

A

Fhe muscles and tendon become inflamed and tiny tear occur on outside of elbow. Area becomes sore and tender.

23
Q

Screening

A
  • detects problems early on
  • highlihts current or past injuries
  • not 100% accurate
  • increased anxiety
24
Q

Injury prevention methods

A
  1. Screening
  2. Protective equiptment
  3. Warm up
  4. flexibikity training
  5. Taping and bracing
25
Flexibility training
Active stretching, passive stretching and ballistic stretching
26
Active stretching
Stretched position is held by contraction of agonist muscle
27
Passive stretchibg
Oxcurs with help of external force such as another part of body, partner or wall
28
Ballistic stretching
Performing a stretch with swinging or bouncing movements to push body part rven furthrr
29
Taping
- support + stability - kineasology tape is used in muscles as its more elastic than tape used on joints ut provides controller suppory as it expands as musclr contracts
30
Bracing
Involves himged joints gives extra stability to muscles and joknts that are weak or previously injured
31
Proprioceptive training
Hopping, jumping and bluncing to restore lost proprioception and teach body to control position of an injured joint subconsciously.
32
Strength training
Prepares body for exercise reducing risk of injury
33
Hyperbaric chamber
- pressurised with 100% oxygen - increased amount of o2 breathed in - diffuses into injured area - excess o2 dissolves into blodd where it can reduce swilling and pressure to injured area - increases white blood cell activity - increases blood supply at injured area
34
Cryotherapy
Cold temperatures such as RICE analgesic effect and limits pain and swelling by reducing blood flow to injured area
35
Hydrotherapy
- Warm water 35-37 degrees - improves blood circulation - relieves pain and relaxes muscle - buoyancy of water supports body weight so you can do more exercise than on ground
36
Methods of recovery
- Compression garments - massage - foam rollers - cold therapy - sleep and nutrition
37
Methods of injury rehab
- proprioceptive training - strength training - hyperbaric chambers - cryotherapy - hydrotherapy
38
Compression garments
Imprive blood circulation and prevbt medical problems such as DVT
39
Massage
Prevent+relieve soft tissue
40
Massage benefits
- increases blood flow so more oxygen and buttients pass through repair - removal of lactic acid - relieve tension - breakdown of scar tissue which can lead to mobility problems
41
Foam tollers
Release tension and toghtness in muscle as well as between muscle and fascia
42
Cold therapy
Ice bath or cryotherapy
43
Ice baths
5-10 minutes. Cold water causes vasoconstriction . When leave bath vasodilation occurs fludhing lactic acid out
44
Slee and nutrition
REM deepest sleep blood flow directed from heart to muscles Replenish glycigen stores thriugh 20 minute window as enhanced exercise next day
45
3 purposes of screening
- highlight past or current injuries - indenting muscle inbalances - identify suitable rehabilitation programme
46
screening aims to
identify those at risk prepare performers for sport and reduce injury
47
injury prevention
- protective wear - flexibilirty training - warm up - stretching - taping and bracing
48
injury rehabilitation
- hyperbaric chambers - hydrotherapy - cryotherapy - proprioceptive training - strength training
49
injury recovery
- compression garmements - massage - foam rollers - cold therapy - sleep and nutrition
50
acute injury
- dislocations - fracture - sprain - strain
51
chronic injury
- tennis elbow - stress fracture - achilles tendoinitis
