injury prevention proactive Flashcards
what is the goal of proactive strategies
to prevent injury while optimizing physical training and human performance
what is one of the most important aspects that an athlete can have
resilience
what is proactive prevention
a planned approach that helps prevent injuries before they occur
what is retroactive prevention
the plan that occurs after an athlete gets injured to help prevent re-injury or reoccurrence
what does a team approach do
helps identify and mitigate risks while using a periodization model
what does the team (unit) do
supervise the athletes, while working together to help with risk management
who are the primary members in the team
- certified athletic trainer
- team physician (MD/DO)
- physician assistant
who are the secondary members in the team?
- physician consultants
- physical therapists
- massage therapists
- nutrition specialists
- counseling or clinical psychologist
- EMS
who is the most responsible for day-to-day health care? why?
the ATC because they are the most accessible to athletes and they act as the “gatekeeper”
what is the role of the team physician?
they oversee all orders that the ATC and the PAs make when dealing with the athletes.
what does the team physician do that no other team member can do ?
- write the standing orders
- PPE
- Game and event coverage (being at the game and being available)
- Handling referrals
- Prescribing remand and RTP decisions
- Medical records
what are intrinsic factors?
Factors that are internal to the person
what are extrinsic factors?
Factors that are external to the person
What are examples of intrinsic factors?
age, gender, body size/morphology, psychological (attitude, personality traits), and injury history (injury prone)
What are examples of extrinsic factors?
the environment (activity type, conditions, etc.), equipment, and condition/training errors (insufficient rest, overtraining, dehydration)
what is periodization training?
the manipulation of training variables to help optimize performance
what are the 3 variables that are adjusting in periodization training?
volume (quantity), intensity (quality), and technical aspects (skills)
when is volume the highest during periodization training?
during the preparatory period
what is the highest during the competition period?
intensity and technique
can periodization training be applied to all forms of exercise and training?
yes
what is the longest phase of periodization?
macrocycles (long-term)
what is the shortest phase of periodization?
microcycles (short-term)
what are mesocycles?
intermediate length periods in periodization training
what is the biggest risk of the preparatory phase?
it is very high volume training and the body is not used to the quantity that it is being put through
what is the risk of the first transition period?
there is a steady increase in intensity and reduced volume
what is the risk in the competition phase?
it is peak intensity and very low volume, when your body was used to high volume
what is the risk in the second transition period (active rest)
you have a massive drop in volume and intensity, which could lead to your body being unprepared for the preparatory period.
what are three main proactive safety issues?
protection (equipment), playing conditions (inspections), and surveillance
why do you tape and brace injuries?
to prevent stresses to joints, muscles, and ligaments
when should you tape and brace?
prior to practices and games; also after an injury to prevent re-injury (this is retroactive)
What are the goals of universal precautions
to reduce the risk of exposure to Blood Borne Pathogens (BBPs)
