Q

Give the main two types of fracture

A

Compound (open) fracture which is a break of a bone through the skin. Simple (closed) the skin remains unbroken, minimising the damage to the soft tissue surrounding it.

Q

What does an ideal warm up consist of?

A
  • should last 20-45 mins
  • gradually increasing intensity
  • HR increasing activity, stretching, sport specific drills
31
Q

What should an ideal cool down consist of?

A
  • last 20-30 mins

* gradually decrease intensity

32
Q

What does saltaps stand for?

A

Stop- stop the game if a player is injured
Ask- ask where and what the pain is
Look- look for specific signs such as brusing, and swelling
Touch- gently apply pressure to identify painful regions
Active movement- ask the player if they can move without your assistance
Passive movement- gently move injured area to its full rom
Strength testing- ask the player to stand putting pressure on the area

33
Q

What does price stand for?

A 
Protection
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
34
Q

What are the 6 R’s?

A

Recognise- surrounding people should be aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion

Remove- remove them from the game

Refer- the performer should be referred to a qualified healthcare professional

Rest- players should not be left alone for the first 24h and should rest from exercise until symptom free

Recover- adults must take 1 week to return and U18 two weeks before seeking an authorised return from a healthcare professional

Return- to return to play, the player must have a written authorisation in order to return to play

35
Q

definition of rehabilitation?

A

The process of restoring full physical function after an injury has occurred

36
Q

How many phases does stretching have and what are they?

A

4

Acute- within the first 3 days of an injury there should be no stretching

Mid phase- 3-14 days, heat therapy, gentle Static and passive stretching should be used, stretching the connective tissues

Later phase- for a further two weeks, PNF stretches should be added to retrain and desensitise the stretch reflex
