Introduction When an athlete sustains an injury while playing the sport that they love, it can have a debilitating effect. Depending on the injury, not only can they be forced to miss a significant amount of playing time (which can affect their livelihood) while they go through rehab, they also lose a huge piece of themselves. The physical part of an injury is only half the battle athletes have to face. Thoughts, feelings and spirit all contribute to sport performance, and are important parts of every athlete (Brehm, 2008). Injuries cause extreme pain, limit movements and depending on the severity, can require a large amount of time for rehab.
Contusions are another name for a bruise and a discoloration and tenderness of the skin, caused by bleeding in a muscle. This can also be caused by a leakage of blood vessels into the tissues. When playing sports you have to take into account the different sporting injuries that can occur. Listed below three examples of what type of injuries can occur and how these can happen: 1. Whilst playing netball, the continual stopping, standing and starting from the one position over a long period of time can cause jarring to the knees and this affects the majority of players.
Explain the muscle anatomy or the hip and what function each muscle group performs. Discuss in detail how a femur fracture may be life threatening to an athlete. 31. Explain what myositis ossificans is and how it may develop. Myositis ossificans means that bone forms within muscle due to a blunt injury that causes deep tissue bleeding in an athlete.
Children under the age of 14 are mostly reckless and competitive so when you have them play football even the pros get hurt. Yes the children may play on a less intense scale of the game, but they are still vulnerable to injury. At such a young age, they have a life ahead of them. What if a child is severely injured to the point the parent will be taking care of the child for the rest of their lives because they are incapable of taking care of themselves. No parent wants that.
If both passive and active movements are done with no pain, try the next level which consists of trying a resistance movement to see if any pain occurs. The next protocol to be used is RICE. This involves resting, icing, compressing, and elevating. The injured ankle should be rested immediately; this will stop the injury to be further aggravated which would cause more pain. Resting should be done until the ankle feels better.
Moreover, repetition of these injuries could lead to many worse conditions, like tendonitis and broken or deformed bones. Therefore, once a golf player get a hand or finger injury, it is better to receive treatment as soon as possible. To avoid hand and finger injury, golf players should learn the correct grip of golf brassie, pay attention to not doing ball bashing in long periods and not hitting balls away from the artificial mats. Wrist injuryare the second most common kind of golf injuries. It is similar to hand and finger injury in its causes: the repetitive motions and the high speed of golf swing.
Negligence in Interscholastic Sports Negligence has been, and still is, the most common reason for lawsuits brought against service providers. In recent years there has been an influx in the number of participants suing service providers for negligent conduct. Specifically focusing on athletes participating in athletics, it is a known fact that athletes participate in athletics knowing the risk of injury but it is still the school and its employees’ responsibility to take reasonable precautions to assure the athletes’ health and safety when participating in school sponsored activities. According to the Coalition of Americans to Protect Sport (CAPS), (1988) anytime individuals are physically active, especially in competitive programs, there is the possibility of an injury occurring. It is imperative that sports organizations, when hosting any school sponsored events, try to reduce the possibility of being held liable for injuries to participants by assessing possible risks and making the necessary adjustments.
Rest is best for relieving stress to the tibia. This means no weight bearing exercising that could injure the legs any further. Ice is used for relieving the pain. Ice massages are recommended to cool the tibia, and to smooth the area of scar tissue created by shin splints. Compression is also be used for helping with severe cases of shin splints, ensuring that it does not get worse.
Injuries are extremely common in the sport of Motocross. There is a high level of stress on the body and the risk of injury is high. It is during race events that the majority of Motocross injuries occur. Injuries sustained during racing are likely to be caused by a crash or fall. Racing at fast speeds and crashing can result in serious injuries including fatalities and spinal cord injuries.
Hot/Cold Packs: With any sprain, strain or bruise there is some bleeding into the underlying tissues. This may cause swelling and pain and can delay healing. Cold treatment may be used in both the immediate treatment of soft tissue injuries and in later rehabilitation. During immediate treatment, the aim is to limit the body's response to injury. Cold will: * Reduce bleeding into the tissues.
