| Question | Answer |
| FQ1: HOW ARE SPORTS INJURIES CLASSIFIED AND MANAGED? -Ways to classify sports injuries | D: Direct- direct hit O: Overuse- provoked by repeated exercise S: Soft tissue- occurs to body tissue (acute- suddenly, chronic- prolonged) H: Hard tissue- occurs to bones and teeth I: Indirect- from intrinsic forces |
| FQ1: HOW ARE SPORTS INJURIES CLASSIFIED AND MANAGED? -Soft tissue injuries | B: Blister- pocket of fluid L: Laceration- cutting of the skin A: Abrasion- scrapping of skin C: Contusion- damage to blood vessels I: Inflammatory response T: Tear- damage to muscle or tendon S: Sprain- injury to ligaments |
| FQ1: HOW ARE SPORTS INJURIES CLASSIFIED AND MANAGED? -Management of soft tissue injuries | MANAGEMENT: R: Rest I: Ice C: Compression E: Elevation R: Referral MANAGEMENT OF SKIN INJURIES: 1. Reduce dangers of infection 2. Control bleeding 3. Assess severity 4. Clean wound 5. Apply antiseptic 6. Dress wound 7. Refer to medical attention |
| FQ1: HOW ARE SPORTS INJURIES CLASSIFIED AND MANAGED? -Hard tissue injuries | Hard tissue injuries can include: *bruises to the bone *displacement of a joint (dislocation) *stress fractures and breaks (fractures) Fracture: the cracking or breaking of an object. Dislocation: disturbance from a proper, original or usual place of state. |
| FQ1: HOW ARE SPORTS INJURIES CLASSIFIED AND MANAGED? -Management of hard tissue injuries | MANAGEMENT: -Assessment for medical attention -Immobilisation -Prevent bleeding -Treat wound -Stop any movement -Cover with dressing -Refer to hospital -Splint -Apply ice-packs -Treat for shock |
| FQ1: HOW ARE SPORTS INJURIES CLASSIFIED AND MANAGED? -Assessment of injuries | T: Talk- ask questions O: Observe- visually examine T: Touch- feel site for signs of pain A: Active movement- athlete moves limb P: Passive movement- first aider moves limb S: Skills test- performing movements |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? - Children and young athletes * Medical conditions | ASTHMA: severe spasms of the airways causing difficulty breathing. Asthma can be triggered by physical activity therefore extra precautions should be taken. Relievers and preventers should be carried around at all times and action plans followed. DIABETES: a disease of the blood sugar levels (insulin). Children with diabetes can find themselves becoming hypoglycemic during exercise if they do not carefully monitor their BGL. Lollies should be kept available at all times. EPILEPSY: excessive brain activity. Children with epilepsy must be carefully observed. Medical help is required. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Children and young athletes * Overuse injuries | Due to the growing and developing bodies of children, they are ore susceptible to developing overuse injuries. Causes: -poor technique and equipment -excessive training -inadequate rest Overuse injuries include: -stress fractures -tendonitis Management: rest, medication and modification of training procedures. To prevent: proper technique, appropriate equipment, warm up and cool downs, variety and be aware of excessive intensity and durations. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Children and young athletes * Thermoregulation | Thermoregulation: Ability of the body to maintain its temperature within normal limits. Children and young athletes are more at risk of developing dehydration and heat illness. This is due to their decreased ability to produce sweat therefore can't cool down properly. They can also struggle to stay warm in the cold, and therefore should have adequate clothing. To prevent: regular rest breaks, avoiding activity in hot weather and drinking water regularly. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Children and young athletes * Appropriateness of resistance training | Inappropriate resistance training can compromise health and development of the growing body. Children and young athletes should focus on technique, body weight activities and large compound body movements to develop their whole body. Heavy resistance training must be avoided to prevent potential damage to growth plates. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Adult and aged athletes | Benefits: muscle capacity, joint mobility, stamina, balance, flexibility, agility and physical co-ordination. Recommendations: at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity, 5 days per week. *It is important to seek medical clearance before any activity is undertaken. Coaches must consider: medical history, reasons for participation, longer recovery periods, longer warm up and cool downs, adjustments to intensity levels. Potential injuries: cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Adult and aged athletes * Heart conditions | As people age, the efficiency of their cardiovascular system declines. It becomes less efficient and cannot pump as much blood or oxygen therefore making exercise harder. Examples: heart attacks, strokes and high blood pressure. Principles: medical clearance, aerobic, gradual progression, moderate intensity, individual taste and sustainable. *Strength programs are also beneficial- light loads and major muscle groups (resistance training). |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? - Adult and aged athletes * Fractures/ Bone density | Bone density peaks at about 35-40 years of age and after this, bones become brittle therefore people have a higher risk of fracture if they fall. Management: weight bearing exercise, following recommended daily calcium intake guidelines, broad range of activity. *Programs should focus on increasing fitness, balance, strength, coordination and flexibility. *High loads and contact sports should be avoided. *People with osteoporosis need to be guided to balance meditation, exercise and diet. Exercise options: walking, aerobics (low impact) and strengthening exercises. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Adult and aged athletes * Flexibility/ Joint mobility | As people age, their musculoskeletal system deteriorates, reducing mobility. If regular exercise is participated in, prevention from joint seizures and the maintenance of good flexibility can be achieved. However, reduced mobility can restrict participation in physical activity. * Building balance and co-ordination through workouts will reduce the risk of falls. Exercise options: walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, stretching, pilates, dance and tai chi. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Female athletes | Female triad: includes low energy availability (eating disorders), menstrual irregularities and weak bones (osteoporosis). Tips: keeping track of periods, not skipping meals, visiting a dietician and not succumbing to external pressures. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Female athletes *Eating disorders | Anorexia: lack of food intake Bulimia: throwing up following meals Dehydration: impacts the body's capacity to function at the level required for optimal performance, also inhibiting thermoregulation ability. Eating disorders impair physical performance, reducing the energy available for active muscle contractions. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Female Athletes * Iron deficiency | Women need more iron than men to make up for the amount of iron lost in their menstrual period. Iron deficiency: Iron is vital for the production of haemoglobin, which is responsible for the transportation of oxygen around the body. A lack of iron generally leads to anaemia (lack of red blood cells). Outcomes: weakness, lethargy, fatigue, reduced energy production and diminished lactate clearance. These factors will decrease the athletes ability to participate in sport, and also have an affect on their overall sporting performance. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Female athletes * Bone density | Bone density: refers to the thickness and strength of bones. *Calcium is necessary for bone strength, and also to allow blood to flow to muscles and nerves for correct functioning. CALCIUM DEFICIENCY Causes: hormonal changes associated with menopause, decreased exercise and inadequate amounts of calcium in the diet. Amenorrhea: cessation of menstruation *Athletes with amenorrhea are also prone to calcium deficiency because of decreased calcium intake or lower oestrogen levels. *If the parathyroid gland becomes overactive, calcium from bone tissue is released into the bloodstream, causing bones to become brittle and contributing to osteoporosis. |
| FQ2: HOW DOES SPORTS MEDICINE ADDRESS THE DEMANDS OF SPECIFIC ATHLETES? -Female athletes *Pregnancy | Physical changes: weight gain, loosening of ligaments, increased resting heart rate, decreased blood pressure and decreased blood volume. Program: light to moderate intensity exercises with low impact tasks would be appropriate. *Pregnant athletes should consult their doctor regarding the appropriate levels of exercise for them Options: hydrotherapy, aqua- aerobics, swimming, walking and yoga. Benefits: increased strength and flexibility, enhanced birth weight, stronger muscles and improved psychological functioning. Risks: contact trauma, neural tube defects and hyperthermia |
