Prevention and Treatment of Injuries in Basketball Brian Burnett Jacksonville University Kinesiology 257 Abstract This paper focuses on the prevention and treatment of injuries in basketball. This paper explores the basic concepts of preventing injuries and the different methods to treat injuries that occur as a result of playing basketball. There are a variety of preventive measures to limit injuries at recreational, collegiate and professional levels of playing
unique way. Volleyball injuries are more commonly referred to as either acute (traumatic) or cumulative (overuse) injuries. Acute also known as traumatic injuries can arise as an affect of abrupt force on a part of the body which could potentially unfortunately effect an athlete's overall game. Cumulative injuries develop over time due to tension on the muscles, joints and other tissues without appropriate resting time to allow for the injury to heal. The longer these injuries are ignored the more
strength and agility, skills are often overlooked by the general population. As dance requires a high level of physical fitness and skill, the impact of injury on a professional dancer’s career can be severe and can affect their ability to perform at a professional or even amateur level. Strength training is the primary component of injury prevention. BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that dance originated from ancient rituals, spiritual gatherings and social events, and the way dance has evolved throughout
father’s role in the safety and injury prevention of their child. According to Canada’s Public Health Agency, unintentional injuries to children of all ages were the cause of serious public health concerns in Canada; 29,142 children were injured and hospitalized in a one year time frame. Since parents play a significant role in their child’s safety and well-being, it is important to have research that explores both parent’s attitude on childhood injury prevention. Previous research focused exclusively
Prevention and Treatment of Athletic Injuries Participation in sports can be beneficial for people, they build self-esteem and peer relationships. When students get involved in sports their grades and attitudes improve for the better, but sports also have one very negative effect, injuries (TrueSport). Injuries can take a person from doing something they love to sitting the bench for extended periods of time. Common injuries such as, overuse injuries, anterior cruciate ligament tears, concussions

History In 1994, Riverside University Health System Department of Public Health established Injury Prevention Services. The branch was established to address childhood injuries, and fatalities in Riverside County. The programs included in the branch are car seat safety, pedestrian/bicycle safety, suicide prevention for teens, and teen impaired
stand out: nurse describe four general categories of causes to falls in this population (forgetfulness, impaired mobility, anxiety, inability to get help); staff to patient ratios may play a factor; most of the nurses feel they have sufficient fall prevention knowledge; most of them felt documentation of falls was sufficient; and there were differences regarding what was believed to be the best intervention. However, as a qualitative study these issues are not developed enough and really could have provided
The Hosking and colleagues 2011 article “A life course approach to injury prevention: a “lens and telescope” conceptual model” examines the prospect of extending common injury concepts (Haddon Matrix) by integrating ecological (lens) and life course (telescope) models into injury research. The paper delineates how the “lens and telescope” models would urge looking beyond proximal influences to injury to more distal, but equally important potential contributing factors. Given the main tenets of
Kinematics of Falling Injury prevention is one of the most significant driving forces for the study of biomechanics. Understanding what causes people to get injured allows us to design better, safer products and systems that make injury less likely. While relatively new, the kinematic study of falls and maintaining stability is an important area in injury prevention. This is especially relevant to the elderly, who fall at a much higher rate than the average population. According to one study, 32%
employee of this company is of primary importance. Prevention of occupationally-induced injury or illness shall always be given precedence over operating productivity. Our objective is a safety and health program that will enable us to eliminate occupational related injuries and illnesses. It is the intent of this company to comply with all laws. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas having potential to produce injuries and all personnel must be properly trained to
