Soc 10 Types Of Injuries And Preventions Flashcards
What are the injury preventions
Correct application of the principles of training
Correct application and adherence to the rules
Use of appropriate protective clothing
Checking of equipment and facilities
Use of a warm-up and cool-down
What is meant by using the correct principles of training
It is important to group performers of similar ability to ensure balanced competitions. Can also avoid overuse injuries
What is meant by playing to the rules and competition
Rules help to ensure safety. Offences can threaten a players career
What is meant by protective equipment/ clothing
This will vary depending on the sport and position. It is also important to not wear clothing that might injure an opponent
What is meant by checking equipment and facilities
Officials need to check for safety before a competition. They should also check any equipment is in good conditions
What are the type of injuries(8)
Soft tissue
Sprain
Strain
Torn cartilage
Fracture
Dislocation
Concussion
Abrasion
What is a soft tissue injury? How can they occur?
Joint injuries -> frequent repetitive exercise resulting in injury to the joint
What is a sprain? How can they occur?
Damaged ligament -> falling or landing awkwardly
What is a strain? How can they occur?
Twist pull or tear a muscle or tendon -> sprinting or other explosive movements
What is torn cartilage? How can it occur?
Damaged elastic substance which lines adjoining bones -> often due to wear and tear from long-term overuse
What is a fracture? How can it occur?
Broken or cracked bone -> occur from a blow, severe twisting or wrenching of a joint
What is a dislocation? How can they occur?
When a bone has a joint is forced out of his normal position -> hard blows which causes one of the bones to be displaced
What is a concussion? How can they occur?
Headaches, loss of coordination, confusion or slurred speech -> normally cause my blood to the head
What is an abrasion? How can they occur?
Friction of the skin against her rough surface -> can happen from a fall or as a result of a tackle
What is meant by warming up/cooling down?
Performing a light aerobic activity to increase blood flow to working muscles and stretch those muscles to avoid injury
Gradually reducing the levels of activity to help with the dispersal of lactic acid and avoid muscle stiffness
What does RICE stand for?
Rest: stop playing or training
Ice: the cold can provide pain relief and limit swelling by reducing blood flow to the injured area
Compression: use pressure to hold the ice pack on the injury this also limits swelling
Elevation: raise the injury if possible keep the area at above the level of the injured persons heart as it will minimise swelling
