Definition of sports therapy
- specialized subset of PT practice that focuses on health care management of the physically-active individual that has been injured in or aspires to return to athletic endeavors
- establishes customized plan of injury prevention, injury management, performance enhancement in order to enable or max athlete’s participation
Pre-participation Screening
- evidence for supporting for and against predictive value of pre-participation screening
- goal is to create data point, not to predict injury
- used to track progress
- used for buy in
Acute Injury Management
- first rule out serious pathology
- stabilize pathology
- manage hazardous environment
- act as gate keeper for further care
Inflammatory Healing Times
6-8 hours, up to 5-7 days
Proliferation phase timing
1-2 days, up to 2-3 weeks
Remodeling Phase Time Frames
1-2 weeks, up to 6-12 weeks
Tissue Healing Ranges (least to most)
- Muscle
- Tendon
- Bone
- Ligament
- Cartilage
(nerve is about 3-4mm)
Objective Movement Types
Mobility
Stability
Function
Principles of progression
- base of support
- load
- plane of motion
- tempo
- surface
- volume
- fatigue
Program Design, Purpose
- cater your program to tissue healing, durability, and goal of healing
- must train endurance, control, strength, and power
Acute Program Structure
- endurance based training
- isolation based training
- think high volume and long holds
Mid Program Structure
- introduce power
- emphasize strength and hypertrophy
- moderate volume and higher loads
End Program Structure
- master power
- continue to build strength
- low load/high speed OR high load/lower speed
Steps for training athletes with injury
- prevention
- prehab
- rehab
- return to participation
- return to play
- return to performance
9 Adaptable Elements of Fitness
- Specific skill
- Speed
- Power
- Strength
- Hypertrophy
- Muscular Endurance
- Anaerobic capacity
- Maximal aerobic capacity
- Cardiovascular endurance
How to assess anaerobic vs aerobic capacity
Anaerobic: max HR with 30-120s of all out work. Biking, rowing, sprinting, etc.
Max aerobic: 8-15 min, 1.5 mile run test, VO2max test
Quadrant 1 Athletes
- Physical education class
- lots of low-level qualities
- variety is important
Quadrant 2 Athletes
- collision sports, certain occupations
- lots of high-level qualities
Quadrant 3 Athletes
- most athletes fall into this category
- few qualities, at a low level, not elite
Quadrant 4 Athletes
- rare athletic competitors
- few qualities, at highest level
- doing one thing better than everyone else
How to make conditioning efficient
- prioritize the task then develop the program
- collaborative stakeholders reverse engineer from the task required to the deficits present
- data gathering and testing is required
combination of planning/design, performance demands, basic principles
key principles of training
- individuality
- specificity
- overload
- progression
- diminishing returns (large gains over small time then changes)
- reversibility
Specificity it specific to
- required energy systems
- required muscle action
- required muscle groups
- velocity
What impacts the general plan of care of athlete?
- time available for session
- # of sessions a week
- Need for extra warm up
- point of training cycle
- Goals
- Training age
