OP 3 SYL TEST Flashcards
(24 cards)
Ways to classify sports injuries
- direct and indirect
- soft and hard tissue
- overuse
RHS: Ways to classify sports injuries
Identify:
eg’s of injuries that reflect each of the classifications
Soft tissue injuries
- tears, sprains, contusions
- skin abrasions, lacerations, blisters
- inflammatory response
RHS: Soft tissue injuries
Manage: soft tissue injuries
- RICER (rest, ice, compression, elevation, referral)
- immediate treatment of skin injuries
Hard tissue injuries
- fractures
- dislocation
RHS: Hard tissue injuries
Manage: hard tissue injuries
- assessment for medical attention
- immobilisation
Children and young athletes
- medical conditions (asthma, diabetes, epilepsy)
- Overuse injuries (Stress fractures)
- thermoregulations
- appropriateness of resistance training
RHS: Children and young athletes
Analyse:
Implications of each for ways young people engage in sports and how each is managed
Adult and aged athletes
- heart conditions
- fractures/bone density
- flexibility/joint mobility
RHS: Adults and aged athletes
Explain:
Sports participation options available for aged people with medical conditions
Female athletes
- Eating disorders
- Iron deficiency
- Bone density
- Pregnancy
RHS: Female athletes
Assess:
Degree iron deficiency and bone density affect participation in sport
Physical preparation
- pre screening
- skill and technique
- physical fitness
- warm up, stretching and cool down
RHS: Physical preparation
Analyse:
Different sports in order to determine priority preventative strategies and how adequate preparation may prevent injuries
Sport policy and the sports env
- rules of sports & activities
- modified rules for kitchen
- matching of opponents e.g. growth & development, skill level
- use of protective equipment
- safe grounds, equipment and facilities
RHS: Sport policy and the sport env
Critically analyse:
Sport policies, rules & equipment to determine the degree to which they promote safe participation, e.g. heat rules, rugby union scrum rules
Env considerations
- temperature regulation (convection, radiation, conduction, evaporation)
- climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, rain, altitude, pollution)
- guidelines for fluid intake
- acclimatisation
RHS: Env Considerations
Evaluate:
- strategies an athlete could employ to support the body’s temperature regulation mechanisms
Analyse the impact:
- Of climatic conditions on safe sports participation
Taping and bandaging
- preventative taping
- taping for isolation of injury
- bandaging for immediate treatment of injury
RHS: Taping and bandaging
Demonstrate:
- Taping and bandaging techniques, including taping the ankle, wrist and thumb
Evaluate:
- Role taping plays in both the prevention and treatment of injury
Rehabilitation procedures
- progressive mobilisation
- graduated exercise (stretching, conditioning, total body fitness)
- training
- use of heat and cold
RHS: Rehabilitation procedures
Examine and justify:
- rehabilitation procedures used for a range of specific injuries, eg hamstring tear, shoulder dislocation
Return to play
- indicators of readiness for return to play (pain free, degree of mobility)
- Monitoring progress (pre test and post test)
- psychological readiness
- specific warm up procedures
- return to play policies and procedures
- ethical considerations e.g. pressure to participate, use of painkillers
RHS: Return to play
Research and evaluate:
- Skill & physical test used to indicate readiness to play
Critically examine:
- Policies & procedures that regulate timing or return
e.g.
- what aren’t … policies applied?
- who should have responsibility for deciding return?
- Should athlete be able to use painkillers for injury
