Sport injuries

In worst case scenarios, athletes hit depression, isolation, anxiety, fear of reinjury, etc. The psychological symptoms of some injuries are not always severe but when they are, the signs should not be ignored or overlooked. Injuries are very common in every sport, could

Athletics play an immense role in the lives of youth, whether they play with friends for fun or in team competition as student athletes. Regular physical activity helps build and maintain bone and muscle health, helps reduce the risk of developing obesity, and promotes psychological well-being (U.S. Dept.). Public health programs promote the benefits of physical activity, but those benefits are reduced by the possibility of injury (CDC, 2). The participation in athletic sports outweigh the potential of sustaining a concussion.

Many children enjoy sports more than life itself. To love a sports with that amount of significance is not a horrible thing, but to love oneself should be the first priority in life. Especially adolescents who play the sport with lots of passion and emotion by imitating their favorite athletes to fight an injury so they would be able to continue their action. The youth as a whole need to realize that injuries are capable of affecting people’s lives around them. For example, hiding any joint problems gives an increase chance of arthritis at a younger age. Sport injuries at a young age can lead to a serious case of no or rare physical activity for the rest of their life (Schnedier 1). Concussions are one of the most serious injuries that athletes should be aware of and how to continue. Athletes like Chris Coyne fight concussions to play, but fighting a severe headache, dizziness and nausea can hurt a team more if something very serious would have happened to effect a teammate’s life.

As a student, I have intimate knowledge of the subject as I engage with education frequently. I experience how athletics affect students’ lives and what the alternative to athletic participation results

According to yard house from “ A comparison of high school sport injury surveillance data reporting by certified athletic trainer and coaches”, “High school athletes sustain more than 1.4 million injuries annually”. Many of these injuries are caused because public high school do not provide enough professional care for athletes. Some of the reasons that athletes are not provided with right care is because of insurance, proper equipment and educated professionals to treat injuries.

With the dramatic growth in youth sports participation and the subsequent increase in the number of injuries we are seeing, there is a need for qualified medical care who understands the issues facing young athletes.  The utilization of an Athletic Trainer for recognition and early intervention as well as prevention of these injuries is the logical choice in providing appropriate medical care for our children,” says Kevin Klingele, M.D., orthopedist at Nationwide Children’s

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

High school athletes are constantly pressured by their coaches or parents to perform outstanding in order to get or maintain college scholarships. With that type of stress

Sports is part of people’s everyday lives, people even make money off of sports, but how would you like if i told you they are dangerous. You probably would think that is obvious. So why would you have your kid participate in sports that induce pain? Did you know one-third of kids experience sports-related injury? That information was given to me by Stanford. Another piece of evidence is from, Listening To Wisdom From A 10-Year-Old Son About His Head Injury, “ Daddy I’m scared, I only have one brain and I don’t want to waste it playing football.” (Cohen 1) Would you like your child to be frightened like this one? The last thing you want is for your child to have more fears.

Most athletic injuries occur from the repetitive motion of a specific body part, which causes pressure on whichever joint is being used. The two main types of injuries that do most damage is acute and overuse injuries. Acute injuries usually occur due to an unexpected trauma. For example, collisions dealing with players to player contact. The most recurrent acute injury among athletes include bruises, partial or even complete tear of the muscles and lastly fractures. Not all injuries are caused by a sudden twist, fall, push, or collision. Overuse injuries occur over time, when an athletic activity is repeated more often than it is suppose to, the body unfortunately can not heal in a short amount of time between playing. An overuse injury can affect ligaments, bones, muscles, tendons, and growth plates. The way the body grows is usually at an even rate, first the bones grow, which pull to make tight muscles and tendons. When this does not occurs and the plates grow at uneven growth pattern, it causes young athletes to be more prone to tendon, muscle, and growth plate injuries. Baseball is one of the leading sports because of the overhand pitching, it can be related with an injury to the elbow. The two main sports dealing with injury to the wrist or elbow is tennis

Throughout my junior and senior years of high school I was a part of the Student Athletic Training Team in the Sports Medicine Department of Wakefield High School. To help better understand the injuries that the team encountered in the field, I enrolled in the Sports Medicine classes that were offered by the school. The classes were taught by the head athletic trainer for the school who believed in hands-on learning, especially for his student trainers. During the duration of the course and my time as a member of the team, I saw numerous different types of injuries; but there were three that occurred most often: an ankle sprain, a muscle strain, and a rotator cuff tear.

Throughout the sports world today, injuries a very common. An injury is “as any significant condition limiting function that caused an athlete to seek medical care by a trainer or physician, caused a practice or match to be discontinued, and resulted in lost time from athletic participation for 1 or more days” (Pasque). It is not uncommon to hear of a player pulling a muscle, tearing their ACL, getting a concussion, etc. Certain sports have a higher probability of getting certain injuries than others. For example, in football, wrestling and hockey, “injury to the brachial plexus, or brachial plexopathy, is one of the most common upper extremity injuries” (Kuzman). Football and wrestling are two high impact sports that have high risk for both

Parents to young athletes  are beginning to say no to sports, due to the risk of getting hurt or injured. But what parents do not understand is injuries may be prevented if parents begin to pay more attention to their athletes needs. Because one aspects many people do not take as serious as they should in the nutrition intake for their bodies, as well as their hydration especially for youth athletes. Another recovery forgotten about is how important stretching can recover an athlete. Therefore, the different types of food you put into your body, staying hydrated and stretching are simple but effective ways you can help your body recover faster and stronger.

There are twenty-three different sports injuries. the first one on the list would be an achilles tendon injury. The achilles is the biggest tendon in your body, it is very common for this tendon to get injured. The tendon gets injured in the following sports such as basketball, baseball, softball, football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, running, dancing, and gymnastics.

Injuries play a big role in an athlete's career and his or her overall health, although minor injuries are often nothing to worry about they can lead to something serious especially if the injury is repeatedly being aggravated. scrapes, cuts, bruises, and broken bones are all things to worry about. When a player is injured he or she is losing play time and money and why risk this when there is small but giant steps that can be taken to prevent injuries. But brain injuries are something much more serious even if the player says not to worry because something worse than losing playtime is losing your life. Albert C. hergenroeder has written an article on preventing sports injuries, he says that there are 3 million sports injuries among kids around
