what are the internal factors of injury prevention that can decrease injury risk
screening
fitness and conditioning
what are the external factors of injury prevention that can decrease injury risk
environmental protective equipment
which types of screening would a kinesiologist do
medical history, wellness screening
what are the components of fitness most relevant for injury prevention
flexibility
plyometric ability
what is the FIFA 11+ dynamic warmup
protocol designed to reduce non contact soccer knee injuries
40% decrease of injuries in adolescent soccer
what must be checked for helmets
correct model for athlete’s head shape
check key points for correct size and fit
what is the effect of ankle braces
little to no negative impact on performance
much more support for longer compared to tape
what are knee braces
reduces the chance of ligament injuries.
neoprene sleeves do not provide any structural support
what are the phases of tissue response to injury
inflammatory/ acute
fibroblastic repair
maturation- remodelling
what are the signs of inflammation
SHARP
swelling
heat
altered function
redness
pain
describe the stages and goals of the inflammatory response phase
goals
-protect
-isolate
-decrease injurious agents
-prepare for repair
stages
-vasoconstriction, coagulation
-vasodilation or selling
-clot formation
what is the POLICE acronym
protection
optimal loading
ice
compression
elevation
what is the best method of icing
frozen water with crushed ice.
20min on and 1 hr off.
what are the sensations of ice application
cold pain
burning
aching
numbness
what are some reasons why someone should not ice
Raynaud’s syndrome
diabetes
recent surgery
sensitive skin
altered sensation
at what humidity is evaporation not effective as a means of heat loss
effective up to 65
doesn’t work past 75
when does mild dehydration occur
2% of body weight lost in fluid
what systems does being dehydrated impair
cardiovascular and thermoregulatory
what is the definition of exertional heat exhaustion
inability to sustain adequate cardiac output
due to inadequate fluid replacement
what is the second phase of tissue repair
fibroblastic repair phase
how long does the fibroblastic repair phase last
weeks
describe the fibroblastic repair phase
when collagen formation builds around injury forming scar tissue. too much scar tissue can prevent injury recovery
describe the third phase of tissue repair
maturation and remodelling
it can take years
the collagen laid down in fibroblastic repair is broken down and realigned based on the applied tensile force.
what factors can impede ligament
healing
chronic inflammation
- acute inflammatory phase lasting too long
- returning to acute inflammatory phase after disruption in early fibroblastic phase
