Injury and Rehab

Question 1

What are the 4 principles of rehabilitation?

Answer 1

frequency
intensity
timing
type

FITT

Question 2

What is frequency?

Answer 2

number of training periods e.g. 3 times a week.

need t overload tissue and challenge it further than daily activities

rest-adaptation occurs

Question 3

What happens if frequency is too great?

Answer 3

no tissue adaptation is allowed

Question 4

Describe intensity of rehabilitation

Answer 4

relevant to how hard an exercise is - measured in weight compared to RM

cardio and aerobic intensity measured by pulse or VO2 max

anaerobic - blood lactate accumulation

Question 5

What is timing in rehabilitation?

Answer 5

duration of the exercise e.g.

run time
hold time of a stretch

Question 6

What is type in rehabilitation

Answer 6

categorising exercise e.g. strength, aerobic, stretching

Question 7

What are the 4 task related components of rehab?

Answer 7

spirit
speed
skill
specificity

Question 8

What are the 3 health related components of rehab

Answer 8

stamina
suppleness
strength

Question 9

What are the 3 components of strength?

Answer 9

concentric - force generating
eccentric - accepts a force
isometric - holds a joint

Question 10

How does spirit impact rehab?

Answer 10

psychological - behavioural changes, pity, acceptance, anxiety, emotional towards injury

Question 11

Describe speed and power

Answer 11

speed is how fats we move or how quickly we react

power is how quickly we can move a resistance

Question 12

Why is skill important in rehab?

Answer 12

rehab to return normal movement patterns to complex movement of athlete

Question 13

Why is specificity important in rehab?

Answer 13

provides the means for adaptation which can be physiological (muscle) or neurological (pattern/coordination)

Question 14

What is considered in injury prevention?

Answer 14

injury surveillance 
risk factors 
screening 
testing 
recovery protocols 
injury prevention programmes 
warm-up/warm-dowm programmes

Question 15

What is the purpose of injury surveillance?

Answer 15

highlight common patterns and their mechanisms. Con-contact injuries are preventable

Question 16

Name 4 risk factors for injury

Answer 16

joint mobility, strength, proprioception, motor control

Question 17

What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors? give examples

Answer 17

extrinsic risk factors can be controlled - intrinsic ones cant be controlled

intrinsic - age, gender, injury history
extrinsic - playing surface, contact, foul play

Question 18

Name a few methods of pre-season testing

Answer 18

musculoskeletal assessment 
screening modules (gray cook, matrix, A&C)

Question 19

What is the difference between Gray Cook and Matrix?

Answer 19

Matrix designs a bespoke training programme to correct individuals at the end of assessment

Gray cook measures inability and dysfunction and a person scores 1-3 on each exercise - above 14 suggest an increased injury risk

Question 20

Which part of the musculoskeletal system is important in almost all movement patterns and is implemented strongly in injury prevention?

Answer 20

Core

Question 21

What scale is used to measure core strength?

Answer 21

Sahrmann

Question 22

What is recovery?

Answer 22

the process an athlete goes through to return to a state of readiness

Question 23

What can post training fatigue lead to?

Answer 23

muscle damage 
dehydration 
glycogen depletion 
dampened neural drive 
mental fatigue

Question 24

What extrinsic factors can affect fatigue?

Answer 24

match results
opposition quality
playing surface

Question 25

after how resting for how long should off-season training programmes be started?

Answer 25

2 weeks
