External Workload And Injury

Many people are more active today than they were many years ago. Injury prevention and diagnosis plays a big role in today’s society. Preventing an injury is important for many athletes all over the world, and for people that are physically active. Preventing injuries can benefit an athlete in the long run. Athletic trainers help athletes and physically active people stay healthy for what they do on a daily basis.

Injuries will occur, no matter the sport. The type of injury to occur depends on the gender of the player. Often, when players become injured, they are in denial about the repercussions of their injury and usually have a loss in confidence. Repercussions can tragically be career ending, long term or luckily short term. Understanding the injury and it’s impact on a player is important, however, knowing how to prevent the injury is more important.

As mentioned before, the awards for non-work related injuries can be substantial, so every insurance company needs to make sure that the claims of injury are true. The stakes are high. Although many insurance policies have payout limitations, in some jurisdictions, the sky's the limit for pain and suffering. Every day throughout the country there are people who attempt to cash in on a fake injury or exaggerate injury as if they are playing a lottery. A large enough check from an insurance company and they are living on easy street. A private investigation firm can attempt to gather as much evidence as possible for you and your legal team to defend yourself from

In every sport, an athlete’s health plays a vital role in the manner in which he or she participates in it. Over time the body can take a toll, which can lead to sudden symptoms or even some that are not noticed until much later in life. The manner in which an athlete responds to this can vary in many circumstances. This paper goes through the various injuries an athlete can come across and the effects each one can have. Symptoms can be physical and even psychological which can lead to the question: Is it worth the hit?

This article was written by Catharine Paddock, who is a staff journalist with Medical News Today, she has a Ph.D. and mainly focuses on treatments and prevention for certain diseases. This article discusses sports injuries for young athletes and how prevention and treatment can help through the process to getting back on the field. This article talked about the common sports injuries (i.e. fractures and dislocations), back and neck injuries, the rehab process, and prevention of sports injuries in young athletes. In order to make this argument, it talks about the body’s imbalances and tips on preventing injuries beforehand. They also report methods of going to rehab and how to keep your body healthy before going out and playing the sport of

For many sports with congested fixtures recovery between games is very important to ensure players are at their best for the matches. An example of a period where this is particularly true is the Christmas period with football with most teams facing a high number of games in a short period, sometimes only 2 days between games. Without proper recovery modalities players, can suffer from delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and from a study by Cheung, Hume & Maxwell (2003) it was found that DOMS reduces athletic performance due to the muscle soreness and the damage done to the muscle and caused a decrease in strength and power, with a greater effect on strength and power during eccentric contractions. A study by Byrne, Twist and Eston (2004) discussed the muscle damage caused by high force eccentric exercise. They found that the stretch-shortening cycle(SSC) what occurs during a drop jump, causes muscle damage in the muscle and therefore contributes to DOMS and is similar to the damage done by running.

As you could probably imagine, youth athletes are significantly more prone to injuries; mostly due to having a developing body. The reason injuries can be so serious in youth athletes is because since their muscles and bones still growing, making their bodies much more susceptible to life-long injuries. The most common long term injuries are ‘overuse injuries.’ Overuse injuries can result from a growing child performing the same

There are two risk factors used to describe as the cause of overuse injuries: intrinsic and extrinsic. When an athlete is able to have control over from preventing an injury is considered intrinsic risk factors (DiFiori, 1999). Intrinsic risk factors include, but are not limited to: prior injury, insufficient conditioning, physical maturity level, self-confidence level, and limited flexibility ranges (DiFiori, 1999). Unlike intrinsic, extrinsic risk factors is when the athlete would have no control from being able to prevent an injury. Extrinsic factors include, but are not limited to: insufficient rest periods, unsuitable equipment, unreasonable adult or peer pressure, and dangerous playing surface conditions (DiFiori, 1999).

Sports are a highly addictive and beautiful part of our society, but they come with a critical flaw that could cause complications in every aspect of your life: injuries. Throughout everyone’s sports career, professional and recreational, injuries will always be relevant. From small ankle sprains all the way to concussions and broken necks, the community should be educated on how to stay safe while participating in the sport they love. Not all injuries can be prevented, seeing as how they can be so sudden, but the next step is the road to recovery. Injuries are relatively unavoidable, only knowledge of proper techniques and recovery methods will make them

During the 1980s and 1990s, it was commonly known that weight training in youths could lead to more injuries due to a non- fully developed stature. However, NEISS data concludes that weight training is not necessarily to the cause of injury. Instead, poor technique, excessive loading, poorly designed equipment, and lack of proper supervision is the leading cause. More recently, findings indicate a low risk of injury in children and adolescents who follow age- appropriate training guidelines. It is important to consult a trained professional to develop a proper training regime for a specific age group.

This article is about the typical time when sports scientists start to struggle with manipulating the training load. It is widely recognized that appropriate periodization of training is fundamental for optimal performance in sports. Now days, it has been very difficult to quantify the training loads in team sports players due to the difficulty in measuring the various types of stress encountered during training and competition.

@00366755 Theory and Practice of Training Case Study Needs Analysis A football game requires the players to be able to produce high intensity activity for as long time as possible. The training of elite football players should focus on improving their ability to perform intense exercise and to recover rapidly from periods of high-intensity exercise. This can be done by performing aerobic and anaerobic training sessions on a regular period of time (Bangsbo, 2005.). During a football game, the distance covered ranges from 9,845 to 13,000 metres (Hoff, 2005; Bangsbo et al, 2006).

Where there are sports there are also injuries not far behind. It is easy to think only professional athletes are prone to injuries, but often it is children who will suffer an injury because in States is approximately 30 million children or adolescents who participate in organized sports. (Adirim, & Cheng. 2003) Injuries are seen a bad omens within the sports sphere and they can occur for in many different ways for many different reasons. There are three major categories of injuries; they are acute injuries, chronic injuries, and insidious onset injuries. Insidious onset injuries occur gradually over time and have no apparent cause. This can occur due to an exposure that does not immediately present itself. Acute injuries usually occur

The small and inconsistent effects of training load are indicative of the role of recovery between tendon-overloading (training) sessions and the multivariate nature of the tendon response to load, with leg dominance being proof as the possible influencing factor.

The subjects for this study will be selected from a population of collegiate athletes whom have suffered shoulder injuries or suffer from shoulder pain. The reasoning for this is because from personal experience athletes tend to skip or give less attention to properly stretching or warming up as they should which in relation causes a greater chance of shoulder injuries and pain due to lack of strength or flexibility. The goal is to find roughly 20 participants which will be split into groups of athletes that suffer from repetitive motion or collision shoulder injuries or pain. The athletes will consist of contact sports, such as, football and or repetitive motion sports, such as, baseball or golf. The study will consist of what the
