1000

60
Q

62
Q

What is the problem with postal surveys?

A

Low return rate, small sample size isn’t representative of the population, homogeneous sample of those who have had an injury, retrospective view - difficult to remember, discrepancy in injury definition

63
Q

How can injury reporting affect epidemiology?

A

Variable nature of reporting injuries, people report severity differently and the categorization can be unrealistic of the true injury

64
Q

What are the strengths of injury surveys?

Injured and non-injured, several teams, prospective collection, one recorder, uniformity of definitions, definitions of severity, exposure hours and incidence in competition and training accounted for, acknowledge existing filters

67

Warm-up, stretch, correct coaching, safe technique, cool down, professional rehab, fitness and stabilization

68
Q

What is epidemiology used for?

A

Identify where and when to focus on the prevention particularly for intrinsic and recurrent injuries

Physical defects, past injury, physical fitness/endurance, strength, speed, skill, co-ordination, flexibility/stability, physical build, psych factors, age and gender

70
Q

What are external risk factors?

A

Sport related, venue, equipment, weather and trainer

71
Q

78
Q

How can protective equipment change injury profiling (boxing example)?

A

Use of headgear means that more punches are thrown with than without, making more entertaining and risk of head injury is reduced

79
Q

How can gender increase injury risk?

A

Women have smaller anatomical structures, wider Q angle adds greater force to the outside of the knee

Q

How can rules prevent injury risk?

A

By enforcing rules effectively, risk is reduced as the individuals physical and mental capacity is not questioned
