23
Q
  • pregnancy
A

lower intensity exercise

24
Q

physical preparation

A
  • prescreening
  • skill and technique
  • physical fitness
  • warm up and cool down
25
Q
  • prescreening
A

assess health status of a person

tailoring of program

26
Q
  • skill and technique
A

improved performance

prevents injury

27
Q
  • physical fitness
A

enhances wellbeing of athletes

before comp

lack of development is a major factor injury

28
Q
  • warm up and cool down
A

warm up (injury prevention)

stretching (4-5 times a week)

cool down (period after a comp)

29
Q

sports policy and environment

A
  • rules of sports and activities
  • modified rules for children
  • matching of opponents
  • use of protective equipment
  • safe grounds, facilities and equipment
30
Q
  • rules of sport and activities
A

assists in flow of play

enforced by referees

31
Q
  • modified rules for children
A

accomodate for the needs of children

lower backboard

32
Q
  • matching of opponents
A

reduces risk of injury

matches abilities

33
Q
  • use of protective equipment
A

ensures the athlete’s safety

more expensive equipment is more tested

34
Q
  • safe grounds, equipment and facilities
A

responsibility of organising group

e.g. clearing of playing surface

35
Q

environmental considerations

A
  • climatic conditions
  • temperature regulation
  • guidelines for fluid intake
  • acclimatisation
36
Q
  • climatic conditions
A

temperature (not too hot or cold)

humidity (impacts dissipation of heat)

wind (heat loss)

rain (temp control)

altitude (impacts performance)

pollution (safety hazard)

37
Q
  • temperature regulation
A

radiation (loss of heat via infrared rays)

evaporation (sweating)

convection (heat away from the skin)

conduction (transfer from body to object)

38
Q
  • guidelines for fluid intake
A

can affect performance

20% is limit

39
Q
  • acclimatisation
A

5-7 for heat and humidity

2-3 weeks for cold and altitude

40
Q

taping and bandaging

A
  • preventative taping
  • taping for isolation of injury
  • bandaging for immediate treatment of injury
41
Q
  • preventative taping
A

application of adhesive/non-adhesive bandages to support or strengthen a joint

preventative/prophylactic measure

principles: stabilised, anchors, maintain even pressure, completely cover skin around area

42
Q
  • taping for isolation of injury
A

after an injury is sustained and during rehab too

used until injured area accustoms to demands of full activity

used so athletes can participate in body conditioning

43
Q
  • bandaging for immediate treatment of injury
A

RICER

exact bandaging will vary between location but aims to limit motion by securing to another body part (e.g. sprained thumb to be strapped to wrist)

44
Q

rehabilitation procedures

A
  • progressive mobilisation
  • graduated exercise (stretching, conditioning, total body fitness)
  • training
  • use of heat and cold

(refers to the process of restoring the athlete to pre-injury level)

45
Q
  • progressive mobilisation
A

after RICER, movement should be restored

gradually extending range of movement that the injured body part can be manipulated through

continues until full range of motion is reached

46
Q
  • graduated exercise
A

stretching - ensures healing without scarring (scarring shortens the muscle and makes it more prone to further injury) –> PNF is best

conditioning - implies a build-up in fitness
- rehab should be personalised and specific to the athlete

total body fitness - regain preinjury levels of mental and physical fitness
adaptations: muscle hypertrophy, increased joint mobility, absence of all pain, increased elasticity of fibres etc.

47
Q
  • training
A

after total body fitness is achieved

participate in the full training porgram

(e. g. warm-up, conditioning, drills, skill development exercises, tactics and cool-down)
- focus on warming up the injured part more

48
Q
  • use of heat and cold
A

cold - up to 4 days after/ any time to reduce inflammation (e.g. ice massage)

hot - not until 2-3 days after

  • decreases stiffness, increases elasticity and blood flow
    (e. g. moist heat packs, contrast bath, ultrasound therapy)
49
Q

return to play

A
  • indicators of readiness for return to play
  • monitoring progress
  • psychological readiness
  • specific warm-up procedures
  • return to play policies and procedures
  • ethical considerations
50
Q
  • indicators of readiness for return to play
A

elasticity

strength

mobility

pain free

balance

51
Q
  • monitoring progress
A

compare pre-test prior to injury with post-test

establish losses in fitness components

tests need to include sport specific movement patterns

52
Q
  • psychological readiness
A

important to prevent recurrence of injruy

pressure (can cause re-injury)

53
Q
  • specific warm-up procedures
A

ensure they are fully warmed up

- may need to be specific to the injured area

54
Q
  • return to play policies and procedures
A

decision varies between sports and level of athlete

protocol may involve consultation, discussion etc.

55
Q
  • ethical considerations
A

pressure to participate - team, coaches, financial

use of painkillers

  • enables matches to occur
  • mask pain (cause further injury)
  • affects elite athletes more
