There are multiple methods for recovery, such as: Stimulation also known as estim, Ultrasound, Ice Buckets, Massage, Stretching, Foam Roller. The most powerful recovery method is stimulation of the muscle or ligament. eStim is an intense stimulation that is applied to the injured area, regulation time can vary upon the injury. Another useful method for recovery is Ultrasound, which is an intense use of sound waves to treat musculoskeletal problems, especially inflammation for example tendinitis & bursitis. Ice buckets are another great way to improve recovery. It is an intense freezing session of the injured area, regulation time can vary upon injury. A Massage gives the athlete rubbing out knots and edema (swelling)
Foam roller: for tight muscles helps speculate lactic acid.
Prevention definition, keep (something) from happening or arising. Prevention aswell has methods to decrease the likely hood of injuries. Stretching is a key ingredient to preventing an injury, loosing up the muscles in stretch can further benefit the athlete immensely. General strengthening: conditioning through the off season. Education on the injury and how to prevent it, family history, past injuries, if you anatomically prone, females are more prone for acl.
Equipment has a huge impact of the extent of injuries and the reoccurrences Helmet- quality of the helmet is key in heavy contact sports such as lacrosse and football. Shoes- wearing proper foot wear in all sports is key but it not well know to all athletes. Example: high tops for basketball players. MERSD fortunately is privileged with two turf fields in the town. The affect a regular field can lead to more injuries for many reasons.
Stretching is probably one of the most import recovery and preve...

Given the various intensive methods and strategies, prevention and recovery are key for high school student athletes. There is no specific prevention to injuries, almost all injuries have their own unique methods for prevention for each muscle group, joints and tendons. The underlying idea for optimal health is that although injuries have different preventative methods the important thing is that a preventative method is used. Prevention of injuries is key to succeed in athletics in high school. If even after preventative measures are taken recovery becomes essential to the athlete. The research and findings in this paper prove beyond a doubt that having the education of ones injury is key for prevention if injures as well as recovery.
In modern time medical science has gotten the ability to heal all injuries that occur in sports. It has given us variety of medicines and health care practices by which we can prevent the injury that could happen to the player in any sport. Medical science has advanced so much now that it can recover almost anything; therefore hockey injuries are not a big deal. 58% of injuries are from the lower body and upper body, and 42% are head, and also almost 82% of the times it is a minor injury. Study has now advanced and can help a player heal from an injury quickly, easily, and in less time.
The debate on artificial turf continues to rage on. Artificial turf has been structurally designed to be a safer surface than grass and to be unaffected by weather. Have engineers succeeded in their goal? It has been said that artificial turf has different properties than grass, and when forces act upon it, artificial turf reacts differently and causes more injuries. I have played the majority of my sports on artificial turf over the last couple years. I have always wondered if the artificial turf has any effect on injuries. Obviously I want to play on the safest surface possible. Is artificial turf that surface? This paper will answer the research question: In what ways does artificial turf affect player injuries?
There are many ways you can prevent injuries from happening before they do occur. Make sure you lift the right amount of weight to ensure that your body won’t wear down or you won’t injure yourself. Lifting more than you need to will only make your body worse. Using poor form can get you hurt quicker and easier than any other way. Make sure that you are using the correct form even if that means hiring a trainer or having a spotter. Workouts that you know can help because you will know the correct position. Workouts without machinery and weights have a lesser risk of hurting you. Cassidy says, “Years of intense workouts take a toll on your body..... Cartilage wears down and muscles, tendons, and ligaments can become less limber” (1).
Ultrasound Therapy – Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to relax the muscles and reduce pain and inflammation in the affected joint.
...tead of one big one. Building your leg muscles, especially your hamstrings can help prevent ACL injury. Be thoroughly warmed up before jumping and pivoting hard. It is a good idea to be actually sweating when you are warming up.
Modalities such as Ultrasound, Cryotherapy and LASER promote healing; stretching programs prevent muscle inhibition and improve flexibility, while eccentric loading restores muscle strength and coordination to the normal. Addressing lifestyle modifications such as cigarette smoking, stress management and diet must also be emphasized in
The article shares with the reader that children who join competitive sports at a young age can learn discipline and healthy habits when performed right. Jordan strongly suggests athletes, coaches and parents need to be properly educated on safe training techniques and know how to read their children when they have an injury. This way the young athletes can join in on as many sport teams as they want. Over the recent years many regulations and laws have been passed, such as The Lystedt laws that “mandate a gradual return-to-play protocol to better protect youth athletes in all sports from the risks of preventable concussions”(Jordan). This will protect the players who do decide to specialize in one sport at an early
What researchers and experts must do is not only discover the cause, but also design a special preventive program for female ACL injuries. Many researchers have found that different anatomical structures and neuromuscular imbalances make females more susceptible to ACL injuries. A special training program emphasizing hamstring strengthening could be effective in reducing the risks of acquiring ACL injuries for female athletes.
The term injury prevention is defined as the effort that should be done aiming to prevent further injuries as well as to reduce the severity of
By having physiotherapy this will help to achieve and restore movement and function to the injured area of the body. To allow movement and function to occur an individual would complete a range of different exercise which, their therapist will show them how to do. This overall, would improve the ranges of movements and by improving the movements overall, it will help to heal the injured area so that, an individual would be able to do normal movements once again. Also, by attending physiotherapy it will reduce the chance of experiencing long-term injuries occurring like this happening again within a certain area of the
The aims of the following essay is to cover the different aspects of strength and conditioning (S&C), looking into the principles of training while also relating it back to diverse types of training that can be implemented on a sports coaches athletes. This is because coaches have to know more than just learning the basics to be successful in the professional environment (Waghchoure, Et al, (2011). This is because they also have to analysing the method that are been implement while also examining the influence of growth through the maturation and physical performance because everyone will have individual difference. In addition also analysing the development of the key fitness qualities through development of physical literacy, strength, power, agility, speed and lastly metabolic conditioning. This is really important for S&C coach as it provides the grounding for key concepts that associated in conditional techniques making sure the coach follows all the health and safety considerations. Giving an insight into periodization and natural strategies for their athlete’s that they should already be implementing in there sessions. Besides reviewing most importantly prevention of injuries to their athlete’s looking at their welfare and well-being through as the most important consideration (Lloyd and Oliver, 2013).
It was hypothesized that athletes would experience a decrease in confidence and an increase in anxiety of re-injury after suffering from a serious injury. As the results of the articles confirmed in most cases this hypothesis was true. Following injury athletes did experience a lack of confidence in their abilities to play and an increase in anxiety toward re-injury. According to Podlog’s research several athletes reported that “their confidence was lower than it had been before their injury” (Podlog & Eklund, 2005, p. 21). However, these same athletes reported that over time they regained their confidence in their injured body part and their ability to play. Participants in Podlog’s studies also stated that they experienced an increase fear of re-injury and injury (Podlog & Eklund, 2005, p. 21). As with a return in confidence, over time the athletes’ anxiety and fear of re-injury also eventually
In many cases, an injury is caused by a range of factors working together. For example, persistent back pain may be triggered by a combination of poor posture, being overweight, repetitive work-related activities and incorrect technique when playing sport. Exercise is the most widely used and best known type of physical therapy. Depending on the patient's condition, exercises may be performed by the patient alone or with the therapist's help, or with the therapist moving the patient's limbs. Exercise equipment for physical therapy could include an exercise table or mat, a stationary bicycle, walking aids, a wheelchair, practice stairs, parallel bars, and pulleys and weights. Heat treatment is used to stimulate the patient's circulation, relax muscles, and relieve pain. Cold treatment is applied with ice packs or cold-water soaking. Soaking in a whirlpool can ease muscle spasm pain and help strengthen movements. Massage aids circulation, helps the patient relax, relieves pain and muscle spasms, and reduces swelling. Very low strength electrical currents applied through the skin stimulate muscles and make them contract, helping paralyzed or weakened muscles respond again. (TheFreeDictionary.com,
When stepping into the Physical Education and sport setting, it is very common to see teachers and coaches begin their class or practice with static stretching. Teachers and coaches most commonly begin their lesson/practice with static stretching in hopes to help their students prevent injury while participating in their physical activity. Although stretching is an important component to physical activity, there is still one key element that should be executed before stretching; that key element being engaging in a warm up activity. Along with beginning with a warm-up activity, it is important that teachers and coaches have their students end their lesson/practice with a cool-down activity as well. Within this paper, there are many subtopics that will be discussed such as definitions of warm-up/cool-down activities, the various types and benefits of these activities, as well as stretching included with its harms and benefits to physical activity. Being educated in this topic is very important not only in preventing injury for young students and athletes, but also for adults and senior citizens in helping them maintain a healthy and physically active lifestyle.
Another thing that is important to prevent injuries is to warm-up before you exercise. A warm-up prepares your body for exercise. When you warm up you get your blood flowing and loosen up your muscles. Loosening your muscles before exercise helps you avoid injuries to your muscles. When you first begin exercising you use less muscle fibers then you do when you have been exercising for a length of time. This reduces the strain on each individual muscle fiber. One injury warming up helps prevent is the tearing of muscles.
