Sport-Injury Rehabilitation: A Developmental Perspective By Maureen R. Weiss

Sports—which involve emotion, competition, cooperation, achievement, and play—provide a rich area for psychological study. People involved in sports attempt to master very difficult skills, often subjecting themselves to intense physical stress as well as social pressure. research has expanded into numerous areas such as imagery training, hypnosis, relaxation training, motivation, socialization, conflict and competition, counseling, and coaching. Specific sports and recreational specialties studied include baseball, basketball, soccer,

Description: To begin the study, our group was given an athlete. First, our athlete was asked

In sports, the probability of getting an injury is very high. Players don’t even have to try and may get severely hurt. Some teammates and coaches say that the players just need to be more careful and watch their surroundings more intently. But, players have to be continuously aware of their surroundings to keep themselves from getting hurt by others, much less self-inflicted injuries. Mark Hyman and Nathan Pitcock, writers from The New York Times, write “Half of all sports injuries among kids each year are caused by simple overuse… injuries-stress fractures, ruptured ligaments, and growth plate injuries- can be quite serious, and many can cause lifelong problems” (Pitcock, Hyman 1). These injuries are all very common with today’s youth. The lifelong injuries are not worth the risk of playing one more game. If players really want to avoid self-afflicted injuries, they should prepare themselves for the sport year around so that they are conditioned for the next season, but players should play more than one sport to cross-train and avoid overuse of specific bones and

A psychological response to common sports injuries is anxiety. This can be felt during a match if the player thinks that they might get hurt and can cause injury. When returning form a sports injury the player may have anxiety of the injury reoccurring, or be worried about not being as good at the sport as they were before or less fit.

This interpretive process is loosely carried forward in relation to the previous studies of physiology, sociology and psychology. Take for example psychology when looking at key issues and research methods. The general explorative path a psychologist would investigate in a study of injury and rehabilitation covers, motivation, confidence, intensity, focus and emotions which are regarded to have the most influence on a performers well-being (Cashmore, 2002). These five psychological divisions derive from Taylors (2001) performance pyramid, are categorised in ascending order from general training influences to immediate competitive performance impact. At the pyramids base lays motivation, simply put without motivation you have no desire to train, to rehabilitate, to reach previous goals. Motivation ensures athletes have positive mind-sets allowing necessary time to refocus, re-energise and start again.

The integrated sport injury model is the best model that could explain Matt’s psychological response to his reaggravating his shoulder injury. In this paper I will give a complete analysis of Matt’s psychological response for set backs in his rehabilitation process. This will be done in three main points: First I will explain what specifically the integrated sport injury model is. Then I will explain how Matt’s psychological response fits in this model. Lastly, I will conclude psychological rehabilitation process in relation to Matt’s case.

There is another course called Anatomy in Motion. It is all about the foot and how the foot mechanics influence the rest of the body and how those joints move. In terms of certifications for the states, the ones that I have are the highest level. Like NKT for example I completed 2 of the 3 levels in the states. I have been to the states a lot. Most of the courses I end up taking are in the states just because they do not offer them up in Canada. At is more of a standard in high schools and universities over there so I guess you could say they have advanced in certain areas. I know that Edmonton has AT’s in the schools but I do not know how many other cities are doing that. Calgary does not even have that as a standard for all schools yet.

The main research of this paper is Sports injuries. Sport injuries are very common in the modern world and it has severe effects in the life of athletes. Injuries related to sport can lead to loss of life, body parts or career depending on the severity of the accident. Sport injuries have several negative impacts on the physical, mental, social ability of athletes. To accomplish the paper appropriately some real-life examples have been included in this research, for illustration. For better understanding of the rise of the sports related injuries, a graph has been mentioned that shows the difference between the numbers of sports injuries recently compared to 2004. Finally the research paper has been concluded by proving that

As a sport psychology consultant, there are several courses of actions that might help Matt deal with his shoulder injury. These courses of actions include goal setting, positive-self talk, imagery, and relaxation training. First of all, personal performance goals can reduce the time and length of shoulder healing during Matt’s recovery time. In addition to goal setting, self-talk will help Matt to rebuild his confidence, so he could learn to prevent negative thoughts that will hinder his ability to perform in competitions. Accordingly, Matt can also visualize himself weightlifting, so it can quicken his return to competitive lifting. Lastly, Matt can also relieve the pain and stress that’s associated with recovery process through relaxation training, which will allow him to become a better competitor during future weight lifting

paper, I will be addressing both the positive and negative effects of injury, the importance of

For the purpose of this assignment “Compare and contrast the role of the physiotherapist, the skills required and the contemporary challenges faced by physiotherapists in two different clinical specialities” I have chosen the fields of Sports Physiotherapy and Paediatric Physiotherapy to discuss.

But for the one’s that want to play again and to get stronger they train hard to get well and to go out to play again.Building a team to meet the challenges and demands of the new rehabilitation environment will help the athletes overcome feelings of isolation related to separation from the team, and build confidence in the recovery and return to play”(“Psychology of sports injuries”).Also It’s sad to see the athletes that got sport injuries to just quit they should try their best to go out there and give them all Then they’ll be able to play the love that they love to play. Also the people are

Another mental skill athletes can use during injury rehabilitation is goal setting. (Theodorakis et al., 1996) argued that goal setting can increase effort and build confidence during an athlete’s rehabilitation, He use a procedure where he examined the effect of goal setting, by collecting injured and healthy athletes. His method included 92 female university students who played at a recreational level, being put into 3 groups. Two groups were the experimental group which one of them consisted of athletes who have knee injuries and the other experimental group who were healthy athletes. The third group was a controlled group of healthy athletes who were told to do their best during exercises performed. All participants performed 4 trials

Emotional and psychosocial responses to injury also vary depending on the phase of injury they are in. Generally, the inflammation phase of injury, referred to as the reaction phase, has the most negative effect on emotions. Feelings of depression, hopelessness, and denial are commonly seen. The second phase, which takes place during rehabilitation in the fibroblastic proliferation phase of healing athletes have a common response of frustration and caution (Clement et al., 2015). This stage of healing can be very difficult for the athlete because of the limitations put upon them. Many athletes are very aware of their bodies and when an injury occurs and their body isn 't responding as it usually does this causes frustration. Athletes also tend to be very cautious of their injury at the beginning of their rehabilitation. The pain they experience and the unfamiliarity of the exercises are so foreign to their bodies that they are very cautious when trying to initial push themselves. The final phase of healing is the maturation phase, which is also the return to play phase of rehabilitation. During this time in the healing process

Children who participate in sports are developing rapidly in sports skills, sportsmanship, and psychologically, but does this come from organized sports are just nature’s process. Children develop emotional and social benefits from participating in sports. Children experience character and leadership development through peer relations leading to an increase in self-esteem and a decrease in anxiety levels. Children will get opportunities to experience positive and negative emotions throughout their practice and games trials. It is important for the coach to understand the “psychology of youth sports and physical activity participation” (Weinberg & Gould, 2011 p.516).
