Why is sport injury prevention important
17 655 Canadians were hospitalized from sport injuries
1 in every 3 youth ages (- to -) in Canada seek ——-
11-18 in Canada seek medical attention for a sport related injury every year
Lower extremity (knee and ankle) injuries are —% of youth injuries
60%
Concussions are —% of injuries in youth
20%
Within hockey and rugby what % of injuries are concussions
Over 50%
Team sport has an increased risk of injury True or False
True
Injuries in youth sport burden 10% in —, 10% in —— and 10% in ——-
Hockey, basketball and soccer
What are the consequences of sport injuries
- reduced participation in sport
- reduced physical activity
- missed school/work time
- weight gain and obesity
- early post traumatic osteoarthritis; increase risk of subsequent injuries
- psychosocial consequences
- health care and indirect costs are high
What is the van mechelen model MIDTERM
- Establish the extent of the injury problem “what’s the problem? Common injuries? Severity?
- Find the mechanisms and risk factors (cause) “understand how these injuries occur” “understand patterns”
- Introduce a preventive measure “how to change this pattern” “design injury prevention and implement”
- Evaluate the effectiveness of intervention “was it effective”
What is key in preventing injuries in sport
Understanding injury mechanism
How to understand injury mechanism
- Understand what happens before injury Events leading to injury situation
- Injury situation; was it a direct contact injury or was it non contact
- Whole body biomechanics
- Joint biomechanics what is going on around joint of injury
What are examples of intrinsic risk factors (relating to athlete) non modifiable
- Age
- Sex
3.Body size - Previous injury
- Malalignment of lower extremities
What are examples of modifiable intrinsic risk factors
- Physical fitness
- Joint mobility
- Muscle tightness
- Ligamentous laxity
- Dynamic strength
- Static strength
- Skill level
What are extrinsic risk factors
-exposure
-types of sport
-playing time
-position in the team
-training
-coaching
-foul play
-envionrmnrt
-time of day
Anything not pertaining to the athlete
What are the levels of prevention
- Primary prevention (reduce occurrence)
Prevention of first time injury in healthy population - Secondary prevention
Early diagnosis (early detection and diagnosis of injury)
3.tertiary prevention
Minimize consequences, (rehab, reduce consequences of injuries)
Injury prevention strategies
- training strategies
- rule modification
- equipment
Strategies used in sport injury prevention studies
-training programs to improve fitness/movement quality
-new or modified sport equipment
-new or modified rules
-education
-training programs to improve psychosocial and or cognitive skills
-policy change
-multi-component /multiple interventions
What are the most researched sports and their associated percentages
Soccer (25%) Rugby (8%) American Football (8%) Basketball (7%) Hockey (7%)
What is neuromuscular trainings focus
- focuses on performing exercises that train the nerves and muscles to react and communicate
What is NMT
-specialized form of physical training that focuses on improving the coordination and function of the nervous and muscular system
What is NMT designed to do
Designed to enhance movement control, stability of movements, movement technique and skills, strength, power and speed, particularly those involved in sport and daily activities
What are the key components of NMT
- Balance training
- Proprioceptive training
- Coordination
- Agility drills
- Plyometrics
- Strength training
Regular NMT can reduce injury rates up to —-%
70%
What are the aims of neuromuscular training
- to improve neuromuscular control and joint stability
- to improve movement skills and technique
- to enhance performance
- to reduce the risk of injuries
Why is good technique, movement control and coordination important
Helps individuals
- enhance, learn, relearn fundamental and sport specific movement patterns and skills
- execute movements with greater precision and efficiency
- generate a fast and optimal muscle firing patten
- increase joint stability
- decrease joint forces
Improper technique case 1 in floor ball
- improper knee alignment (abduction) results in valgus injury due to improper running technique/ changing direction, sudden dynamic movements cause partial/complete ACL tear
Changing direction in floor ball and associated injuries
-180 degree pivot turn (should be performed keeping body weight inside toward direction heading to
Will result in injury if body weight places stress on acl causing knee to cave in
Common in soccer, bbal, floor ball, foot ball and other direction change sport
What are critical teaching points associated with prevention of injury
1.alignment
2. Balance
3.proper mechanism
Neuromuscular training in rehabilitation aims
-to restore normal movement patterns
-improve joint stability
-to reduce side differences; coordination, strength and power
-to reduce the risk of subsequent injuries
- to enhance performance
What exercise are done for strengthening included ins some NMT programs
-squats
-lunges
How many NMT hours and repetitions a year example in men U18
10-20 mins NMT warmup before every practice and game
10-20mins cool down after each practice and game
Association between injuries and training load
-rapid increases in training loads
-insufficient practice vs competition
-too little variation in training load (monotony)
-spikes in training load
What is associated with a training load
-intensity,duration and frequency of exercise
-specific exercise type
-external training load (external resistance,weights, equipment;weightlifting) vs internal training load (body weight, Pilates, yoga)
What is structure specific training load
-sum of movement and structure specific loads
Like how running is high impact bone affecting
Are structure specific training loads different between individuals
YES
Structure specific training load with a overweight player
-greater patellar tendon specific training load
Player with poor knee control will—— (relate it to structure specific training load)
Have greater knee joint structure specific training load than a person with proper knees
What are the 3 questions associated with sport specialization
- Have you quit another sport to focus on your primary sport
- Do you consider your primary sport more important than your other sport
- Do you train more than than 8 months a year in your primary sport
Within the shred basketball NMT warm up what 4 categories were involved
1.aerobic
2. Agility
3. Strength
4.balance
What is involved within the aerobic component of the NMT basketball video
1.forward run
2.forward run and backward zigzag
3.skiping
4. Forward run increase speed
What is involved in the agility portion of warm up
- Single leg jumps over a line
- Jumps in place
What is involved in the strength portion of the NMT video
1.plank
2. Side plank
3. Hamstrung
4. Walking lunges
5. Side lunges
What is associated in the balance portion of the video
- Single leg balance
- Single leg balance toss
Important things to remember about NMT warm up
-backward zigzag (focus on pushing off with knee over the ankle and not allowing knee to fall inward especially when changing direction)
-forward backward skipping (knee over ankle, light landing)
-In all of them proper body alignment especially at knee and hip is critical
-done carefully and mindfully, prioritizing activating proper muscles and proper technique
