Q

Explain the benefit of increased heart rate due to a warm up.

A
  1. Adrenaline is released which increases heart rate.
  2. Capillaries dilate - more oxygenated blood to the muscles.
  3. Resulting in reduced oxygen deficit.

Q

State the physiological benefits of a cool down (5)

A
  1. Keeps heart rate elevated -keep oxygenated blood flow high - oxidise lactic acid - reduce oxygen debt
  2. Resaturates myoglobin with oxygen
  3. Venous return is aided by the skeletal muscle pump to prevent blood pooling
  4. Reduced risk of DOMS
  5. PC resaturated faster

16
Q

Soft tissue injuries

A

skin, muscle, tendons, ligaments, cartilage

17
Q

Hard tissue injuries

A

bone injuries

18
Q

Intrinsic causes of injury

A
  1. poor conditioning
  2. overtraining
  3. improper technique
  4. previous injuries
  5. biomechanical factors
  6. sudden increase in intensity
19
Q

Extrinsic causes of injury

A
  1. equipment issues
  2. environmental factors
20
Q

What does PRICE stand for?

A

protect, rest, ice, compress, elevate

21
Q

What treatment is used for the immediate recovery of soft tissue injuries?

A

PRICE

22
Q

Explain the ‘protect’ stage of PRICE

A

protect injury from further damage by using a support or splint

23
Q

Explain the ‘rest’ stage of PRICE

A

rest injury for the first 2-3 days.
reintroduce movement gradually so no muscle strength is lost

24
Q

Explain the ‘ice’ stage of PRICE

A

ice to reduce swelling
15-20 mins every 2-3 hours
don’t apply ice directly

25
Q

Explain the ‘compress’ stage of PRICE

A

compress with elastic bandage to limit swelling.
don’t leave bandage on to sleep.
make sure it’s not too tight.

26
Q

Explain the ‘elevate’ stage of PRICE

A

rest above level of heart and keep it supported.
reduces swelling

27
Q

Hyperbaric chamber

A
  1. inhalation of oxygen in a high pressure chamber
  2. reduces swelling
  3. more oxygen to injured area
  4. promotes white blood cell activity
  5. stimulates growth of new blood vessels
28
Q

oxygen/hypoxic tent

A

oxygen:
provides oxygen rich environment

hypoxic:
reduced oxygen to stimulate high altitude.
adapt to produce more red blood cells/haemoglobin.

29
Q

ice baths

A

remove lactic acid and muscle soreness.
blood vessels contrict whilst inside.
blood vessels dilate when out - more oxygen into muscles.

30
Q

cryotherapy

A

use of cold to treat acute injuries and decrease discomfort.
reduce blood flow to injured area - reduce swelling
can be numbing/analgesic
freezing chamber around -70

31
Q

hydrotherapy

A

use of warm water
improves blood circulation
relieves pain
can do low impact recovery exercises

32
Q

what is core stability

A

relates to the capacity of the torso/trunk/central core to stabilise the body during movement and assist with the maintainence of posture and balance

33
Q

how core stability reduces injury

A
  1. enables body to withstand larger forces (rugby tackle)
  2. helps maintain good posture
  3. reduces stress placed on spine
  4. allows muscles to work efficiently and avoid overuse injuries due to imbalance
