risk factors - injury

Question 1

intrinsic risk factors

Answer 1

• risks or forces from within the body
• individual variables
• training effects

Question 2

extrinsic risk factors

Answer 2

• risks or forces from outside the body
• poor technique/ training
• incorrect equipment/ clothing
• inappropriate intensity, duration or frequency of activity

Question 3

warm up

Answer 3

• 20-45 mins
• gradually increases in intensity
• 3 stages:
• HR raising activity
• stretching + mobility exercises
• sport specific drills
  = improves muscular contractions
  = improves elasticity of muscles, tendons + ligaments
  = increases enzyme activity
  = diffusion gradients
  = metabolic activity

Question 4

cool down

Answer 4

• 20-30 mins
• gradually decreases in intensity
• moderate-intense activity around 45-55% of VO2 max
  = to maintain HR, VR + blood flow to remove any waste products
• stretching exercises
  = reduce muscle tension
  = increase muscle relaxation
  = gradually lower muscle temp
• removal + reconversion of lactic acid
• reduced DOMS

Question 5

individual variables - intrinsic risk factors

Answer 5

previous injury:
age:
nutrition:
posture + alignment:

Question 6

training effects - intrinsic risk factors

Answer 6

poor preparation:
inadequate fitness levels:
inappropriate flexibility levels:

Question 7

poor technique / training - extrinsic risk factors

Answer 7

repetitive actions:
incorrect training techniques:

Question 8

incorrect equipment/ clothing - extrinsic risk factors

Answer 8

equipment:
protective clothing:
sport specific clothing:

Question 9

inappropriate intensity, duration or frequency of activity - extrinsic risk factors

Answer 9

frequency:
intensity:
rest + nutrition:
principles of training:
