Paper1 Exercise Physiology: Injury prevention and rehabilitation of injury Flashcards
Describe an acute injury
a sudden injury associated with a traumatic event
describe a fracture
hard tissue
acute
partial or complete breaks in the bone
describe a compound fracture
where the bone breaks through the skin
acute
describe the signs of a fracture
deformity
swelling
discolouration
describe the symptoms of a fracture
pain
inability to move
describe a dislocation
hard tissue
from a direct or indirect force pushing the joint past its extreme range of motion
acute
describe subluxation
damage ligaments
increase risk of re-dislocation
describe the signs of dislocation
deformity
swelling
describe the symptoms of dislocation
popping
severe pain
loss of movement
describe a sprain
soft tissue
caused by sudden twist, fall or impact
forces joint past range of motion
acute
describe the signs of a sprain
swelling
bruising
describe the symptoms of a sprain
inability to bear weight
pain
describe a concussion
acute
trauma to the head
describe signs of a concussion
possible seizures
loss of consciousness
no balance
confusion
describe the symptoms of a concussion
headaches
light sensitivity
vomiting
describe a chronic injury
develop by continuous stress on the body
describe a stress fracture
hard tissue
from overtraining
describe shin splints
soft tissue
tendons become inflamed
from overuse
describe tendinosis
soft tissue
repetitive strain
describe the signs of tendinosis
limited movement
describe the symptoms of tendinosis
burning
what are the intrinsic risk factors in preventing injury?
previous injury
age
nutrition
low fitness level
low flexibility
what are the extrinsic risk factors in preventing injury?
poor technique
wrong clothing equipment
incorrect intensity
ineffective warmup cool down
why is a warmup effective?
raises body temperature
increase diffusion gradient
prepares elasticity of muscles
mentally prepared
minimises injury risk
