Week 11 Flashcards
Superficial?
Towards or close to the body e.g. skin is superficial to the muscle
Deep?
Away from the surface of the body e.g. the tendons are deep to the skin
Ligaments?
Are inelastic but flexible bands of connective tissue that attached two bones together
Tendons?
Tough but flexible bands of connective tissue that attach muscle to bone
Tendon injuries?
Over stretching or tearing of fibres
tendinits?
Inflammation
Tendinosis?
Condition
Common ankle injuries?
Rotational, twisting or pivotal movement sports
Tissue injury grade 1
2-3 weeks of rest
damage to individual muscle fibres
Tissue injury grade 2
3-6 weeks rest
more extensive damage
Tissue injury grade 3
3 months rest
complete rupture of a muscle
Mechanisms of ACL injury
example
backward falling skier - boot and skis
accelerate forward creating an anterior drawer mechanism
Key components of a warm up
- low intensity rhythmic - increase circulation
- stretch to increase compliance in muscles and tendon tissue
- the specific game related activity
Planning a warm up SPIED?
S - specificity of the exercise
P - participants energy levels
I - intensity of the exercise
E - environment conditions
D - duration of the exercise
Ballistic?
Increasing ROM by dymically forcing joint to adopt a greater angle
