25
what is the risk of the first transition period?
there is a steady increase in intensity and reduced volume
26
what is the risk in the competition phase?
it is peak intensity and very low volume, when your body was used to high volume
27
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.
28
what are three main proactive safety issues?
protection (equipment), playing conditions (inspections), and surveillance
29
why do you tape and brace injuries?
to prevent stresses to joints, muscles, and ligaments
30
when should you tape and brace?
prior to practices and games; also after an injury to prevent re-injury (this is retroactive)
31
What are the goals of universal precautions
to reduce the risk of exposure to Blood Borne Pathogens (BBPs)
32
What are examples of BBPs?
HIV and HBV
33
what are universal precautions?
A special approach to treating all patients as if they were infected with a BBP
34
What are the universal precaution techniques?
wearing latex gloves, hand washing, safe disposal of items in contact with blood and immunizations
35
What was the title IX education assistance act of 1972?
Helped with gender equality and determining why there were injury differences between men and women.
36
What was the clinical issue with the Title IX Education Assistance Act of 1972?
there were new injury patterns that emerged that appeared to be gender specific
37
What was the objective of the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program?
It was designed to track and analyze medical illnesses and injuries that result from sport participation (injury epidemiology)
38
Are are the goals of epidemiology of sports injury? (there are 3)
1. Study the distribution of injuries/illnesses and collect data 2. Identify risk factors that play a causative role in injuries/illnesses 3. Develop and implementing strategies to prevent or reduce the occurrence and severity of illnesses and injuries.
39
What is the definition of Sports Injury?
1. Occurs as a result of participation in organized intercollegiate practice or game. 2. Requires medical attention by a team certified athletic trainer or physician (MD) 3. Results in restriction of athlete’s participation for one or more days after the injury
40
Does time lost from an injury reflect the severity?
No, everyone’s body responds differently from injuries and recovery time could be different.
41
what is risk management?
Identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks that may have legal consequences. It’s an application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate event
42
What are the 3 types of issues that could occur with sports medicine delivery.
1. Medical 2. Legal 3. Ethical
43
how do you prevent medical issues
hire qualified personnel (ATC/L)
44
How do you prevent legal issues?
Prevent litigation due to negligence
45
How do you prevent ethical issues?
Professional ethics should include an obligation to provide health care to athletes regardless of cost, safety of athlete is foremost, not saving money!
46
What is negligence?
The failure to provide appropriate care that results in harm to an athlete.
47
What is malfeasance aka malpractice?
when care is given that is outside the responsibility of the caregiver
48
what is misfeasance?
it is within the scope of someones practice, but the wrong procedure was performed.
49
what is the act of commission?
acting in an improper way
50
what is the act of omission?
The failure to act
51
What is nonfeasance?
the failure to perform legal duty
52
what are the 4 criteria for negligence?
1. a duty to act (under a standard of care or contract) 2. a breach of that duty (contract) 3. Proximate or legal cause is shown (causal connection is the key element to negligence - how is what was done, or not done, the cause of the injury) 4. Damage is demonstrated (how? can the results of a MRI show the cause of the injury)
53
How do you prevent liability?
1. There’s an assumption of risk (athletes assume risk of injury by participating) 2. Contributory negligence 3. Act of God (there are some factors beyond a scope of control)
54
If you get sued what are 4 things you should do?
1. Call your insurance company 2. Call your attorney 3. Write a detailed description on the incident and obtain signed statements from witness(s) 4. Make no statement to the media or other parties without legal counsel
55
What are 4 things you should monitor involving the environment:
1. Heat and humidity 2. Fluid balance (hydration) 3. Weight charts (hydration) 4. Acclimatization (equipment and attire)
56
What is the goal of monitoring heat and humidity?
To reduce the risk of heat-related illness (heat exhaustion and stroke)
57
What are extrinsic factors that impact heat related illnesses?
High heat and relative humidity, clothing, and how much of a breeze is present
58
What are intrinsic factors impacting heat related illnesses?
Injury prone, hydration state, and one’s level of exertion (condition)
59
What is an important way to fight heat related illness?
Fluid and electrolyte replacement and balance
60
What is hypo-hydration?
an acute loss of fluid balance. You should be recovered by the next day.
61
What is dehydration?
The gradual loss of fluid balance over days. You wouldn’t recover by the next day and you are at an increased risk of heat illness
62
Why are you at an increased risk of heat illness if you are dehydrated?
You don’t have a reserve of fluids in your body for sweat, and without that reserve you can’t cool yourself down. Also, your body needs fluids to function properly, so if they are low, your body can’t function properly.
63
What does dark urine indicate?
A negative fluid balance
64
What does clear urine indicate?
A good fluid balance
65
What is the purpose of checking weight charts on a daily basis?
You are able to track how much weight someone is losing (this allows you to see if someone is dehydrated because they wouldn’t be able to recover the next day if they lost >6% of their BW)
66
How do you measure humidity as its related to heat
psychrometry
67
What is acclimatization?
The improved capacity to withstand heat stress through internal and external adjustments
68
What does acclimatization do?
it reduces the physiological strain on the body while maintaining physical work capacity. It also helps protect the internal organs
69
How long does acclimatization take?
7-21 days everyday with around 2 hours of exercise, but it could take up to 6 months to become fully acclimatized
70
What are recommendations to take to help with acclimatization?
Increase the fitness level prior to heat exposure, increase intensity and volume of exercise gradually with heat exposure, and rehydrate during exercise
71
what are some physiological adaptations of acclimatization?
1. Increased plasma volume and cutaneous blood flow - this allows for you to get more fluid and RBC (oxygen, hemoglobin, etc.) 2. increased central and peripheral tolerance to heat and/or direct sun exposure 3. sweating 4. increased fitness level 5. organ protection
72
What is flexibility?
the ability of a joint to move through an unrestricted, pain-free ROM
73
What is stretching?
The loading of tissues that increases lengthening.
74
What is the goal of stretching?
To give you more pliability and flexibility
75
What is extensibility?
The capability of tissues to be stretched
76
Why should we stretch? (5 reasons)
1. Warm up the body 2. Improve extensibility and ease strain of C.T. during exercise 3. Prime the neuromuscular system and tissues for exercise 4. Improve joint ROM 5. Improve muscle performance
77
What is chronic stretching?
when you hold positions anywhere between 1 minute to 6-8 hours.
78
what is the use of low-load, prolonged stretch?
it’s therapeutic for tissue contractures (time-dependent promotes creep response)
