Physiological Response : The Body 's Physical Mechanisms That Respond When An Injury

The human body reacts externally or internally in the way of physiological responses. When we experience one of these stressors the physiological responses job is to prepare the body to deal either by adapting to it or simply surviving it. This can promote a functional alteration in the organs normal function.

Physiological responses: damaged tissue, eg primary damage response, healing response, the clotting mechanism; the importance of scar tissue control in the re-modelling process; specific to injury, eg sprain/ strain (signs and symptoms of first, second and third degree), haematomas (inter/intra)

This is the stage of the injury and will become the start of the rehabilitation process. When an injury occurs your body reacts immediately to heal it. This is often referred as the primary response mechanism. The main symptoms of primary damaged response are pain, bleeding and also inflammation.

The body will respond to an exercise stress in one of three ways and there may be primary and secondary damage to the tissues as a result of exercise stress. The three responses the body will take to an exercise stress are, the tissues may adapt to the stress and no damage occurs, the tissues may become injured, or the tissues will die. In athletics, athletes often stress their bodies to the point of tissue injury and tissue death.

Tissue damage recovery strategies minimise the level of tissue damage and boost healing. Minor muscle fibre tears caused by strenuous activity and 'cryotherapy' assists in offsetting this tissue damage.

When muscle is damaged, the cells break open and release CPK, a protein, into the blood. Since CPK is not normally found in the blood, an

First, is the education of the patient, if the athlete is willing to report and communicate the problem to the appropriate personnel at the moment and time when it happens, the medical staff will be on the ability of removing the athlete from participation if it is necessary. In addition of educating the athletes, it will be vital to focus on the education of coaches, and parents over the consequences of this injury, the responses of the athlete during the injury, importance of reporting this to the medical personnel (Athletic trainer), and acceptance of the injury. By increasing the awareness of the injury, the medical staff will be more accurate, precise, and the time of recovery will be lower since the athlete will report it in a shorter period of time.

In this assignment I will be reviewing the different effects of exercise on the body system including the acute and long term using the pre-exercise, exercise and post-exercise physiological data which I collected based on interval and continuous training method. I will also be including the advantages and disadvantages of these, also the participants’ strengths and areas where they can improve on.

In all levels of sport, involvement there is a high incidence of injuries that are bound to occur. These injuries can range in severity, from simple cuts and bruises to season or even career ending injuries. In many cases, the injured athlete is initially assessed and diagnosed with whatever ailment they may have. Next, the athlete is treated for that injury whether it be surgery, physical therapy, or both and then is given time to physically recover from that injury. This execution of treatment is known as the biomedical model, which the majority of physicians in today’s practice use. This plan seems to be universal and effective in many cases. What many

1. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, skeletal muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The response this exercise does to the body is increased blood supply for muscles to work for longer and harder when exercising, muscle pliability will also develop as regular muscles are being used and developed making them stronger overall. Increased respiratory rate, increased fuel metabolism, increased oxygen

Past research has seen the relationship between athletic injuries and psychological factors as essentially stress-related (1). In this sense, stress is predicted to produce increased state anxiety and consequently alterations in attentional focus and muscular tension. It is important to note that stress does not exist outside the individual “ not all people respond negatively to

In this essay we will discuss the four different phases of the soft tissue healing process and also explain all the components of each particular phase and how it functions. This will also include sport therapeutic interventions that may contribute to the healing process and that may maximise healing of soft tissue.

These conditions commonly occur in active people and athletes, as recurrent subclinical injury is an important factor for their development. Relative contributions

Some of the "good" or "normal" responses of a blood vessel to injury are the same mechanisms which lead to "bad" consequences when the inflammatory response is heightened in an autoimmune attack on the vessel itself in vasculitis.

Humans experience similar dramatic physiological stress responses as other species. That is to say, the physique response to a stressor prepares the body for rapid physical action (fight or flight). More rarely, as Rudinger (1988) argue, sitting paralysed by fear may constitute another response to stress. The fight or flee stress response involve extremely rapid, virtually immediate, changes within the muscular systems and organs (Pinel, 2006).
