differnt types of strength training
-free weights
-machine weights
-therabands
-body weights
free weights
dumb bells
✔️- controlled, sport specific, vary heaviness
✖️- poor form = ^ injury
machine weights
✔️- controlled early stages
✖️- can’t make sport specific, limited range of lotions
therabands
-elevation bands
✔️- vary resistance
✖️- could snap worsen injury
body weights
✔️- less stress on body early stages
✖️- less opportunity for gradual overload
hydrotherapy
warm water
- ^ blood flow
-can lift more load in water
-exercise against the water to strengthen injured area
-relieve pain relax muscles
hyperbaric chamber
100% pure oxygen
-^ pressure & ^ 02 intake
- o2 absorbed by plasma and muscles of injured areas
- ^ white blood cells
cryotherapy
cold temp to treat injury
- ice bath - repair torn tissue and muscles
- removed lactic acid
- RICE rest ice compression elevation
- vasoconstriction - flush oxygen rich blood round the body
- 5-10 mins
other rehabilitation
- massage - release tension tissue , ^ blood flow , remove lactic acid
-foam roller - breaks up tissue from fascia - compression - ^ circulation and o2
sleep recovery
- 8-9 hours
- tiredness
- slower reaction time
- reduce growth hormone
- fatigue
nutrition
- ^ recover decrease recovery time
- liquid quicker to absorb
- boost energy levels
