prevention of sports injuries (3)
(preventative medicine)
-reduction of force
-strengthening of body parts
-screening of participants
reduction of force- how?
protective equipment, technique development, balanced opponents (ex. weight classes), preventative taping, facilities, rules & enforcement
screening of participants-why?
determine if fit, establish athlete’s health
preventative medicine subcategories
primary prevention
secondary prevention
tertiary prevention
primary prevention
=things we do to prevent injury/illness
-warmup
-stretching
-training
secondary prevention
=once an injury or illness has occurred
-antibiotics/anti-inflammatories
-rehab to return to original function
(physio, chiro, massage)
-braces/taping on return to sport
tertiary prevention
=things we do when original function can’t be restored
-reduce long term impairment
(rehab to improve existing disability)
-improve quality of life
(wheelchair basketball, sledge hockey)
why is preparation important for physical activity?
decrease incidence of injuries, decrease severity of injuries
forms of preparation for physical activity (3)
- general conditioning
-endurance, strength, power, flexibility - specific training
-sport-specific, individual specific, skills - protective measures
-equipment
-nutrition
-hydration
specific training: 3 components
- sport-specific
-skating, batting, pitching, shooting a basketball - individual specific
-foot speed, strength, power, flexibility - skills
gross vs fine motor skills
open vs closed motor skills
sprain
stretching/tearing of ligaments or joint capsules (non-contractile)
what will we immediately see after injury?
inflammation
acute inflammatory phase (0-72 hours after injury)
- vascular events (minimize blood flow to area to minimize blood loss
THEN increased blood flow to area and blood vessels get “leaky” - cellular events
increase in WBCs
neovascularization
“new blood cells”
increase blood supply to injured area
edema
excess swelling
ongoing/chronic inflammatory process
tissue damage
POLICE
protect, optimal loading, ice, compression, elevate
Protective measures- equipment
- absorbs energy
- disperses energy
- deflects a blow
- limits excess movement
Protein
-over 20-25% of cal
-protein on its own does not increase muscle mass
genotype/phenotype: running and confusion
kevin and his twin
-one developed to tolerate exercise in the heat
-possibly from playing lacrosse in the sun over the years!!!?? (kevin)
diaphysis
shaft of bone
metaphysis
transition between diaphysis (shaft) and epiphysis (head)
Syndesmosis joint
tough connective tissue between bones
(not a lot in the body)
-pubis symphysis
ligaments
connect bones together
has elastin
(a bit more stretchy than tendons)
tendon
connects muscle to bone
bursa
small fluid filled sacks
-decreases friction of tendon rubbing on the bone
Joint types
hinge, saddle, facet, pivot, gliding, ball and socket
Fracture types
-Open (compound)= bones stick out; risk of infection
-Closed (simple)= bones stay within the soft tissue
-Acute vs. stress (tiny cracks)
