SM
hard tissue injuries
- fractures
- dislocation
physical preparation
- pre-screening
- skill and technique
- physical fitness
- warm up, stretching and cool down
flexibility training
- static
- dynamic
- ballistic
initial planning considerations
- performance and fitness needs (individual, team)
- schedule of events/competitions
- climate and season
how do athletes train for improved performance? (two)
- strength training
- flexability training
assessment of injuries
- TOTAPS (Talk, Observe, Touch, Active and Passive movement, Skills test)
tapering and bandaging
- preventatice taping
- taping for isolation of injury
- bandaging for immediate treatment of injury
strength training
- resistance training, eg elastic, hydraulic
- weight training, eg plates, dumbbells
- isometric training
planning to avoid overtraining
- amount and intensity of training
- physiological considerations, eg lethargy, injury
- psychological considerations, eg loss of motivation
what are the examples for use of technology
- actate threshold testing, biomechanical analysis
- swimsuits, golf ball
ways to classify sports injuries
- direct and indirect
- soft and hard tissue
- overuse
sports policy and the sports environment
(rachel marangon makes us sad)
- rules of sports and activities
- modified rules for children
- matching of opponents, eg growth and development, skill level
- use of protective equipment
- safe grounds, equipment and facilities
rehabilitation procedures
- progressive mobilisation
- graduated exercise (stretching, conditioning, total body fitness)
- training
- use of heat and cold
planning a training year (periodisation)
- phases of competition (pre-season, in-season and off-season phases)
- subphases (macro and microcycles)
- peaking
- tapering
- sport-specific subphases (fitness components, skill requirements)
use of technology
- training innovation, eg lactate threshold testing, biomechanical analysis
- equipment advances, eg swimsuits, golf ball
soft tissue injuries
- tears, sprains, contusions
- skin abrasions, lacerations, blisters
- inflammatory response
adult and aged athletes
- heart conditions
- fractures/bone density
- flexibility/joint mobility
enviromental considerations
- temperature regulation (convection, radiation, conduction, evaporation)
- climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, rain, altitude, pollution)
- guidelines for fluid intake
- acclimatisation
elements to be considered when designing a training session
- health and safety considerations
- providing an overview of the session to athletes (goal-specific)
- warm up and cool down
- skill instruction and practice
- conditioning
- evaluation
what are the dangers of performance enhancing drug use?
- physical effects
- loss of reputation
- sponsorship
- income
children and young athletes
- medical conditions (asthma, diabetes, epilepsy)
- overuse injuries (stress fractures)
- thermoregulation
- appropriateness of resistance training
female athletes
- eating disorders
- iron deficiency
- bone density
- pregnancy
return to play
- indicators of readiness for return to play (pain free, degree of mobility)
- monitoring progress (pre-test and post-test)
- psychological readiness
- specific warm-up procedures
- return to play policies and procedures
- ethical considerations, eg pressure to participate, use of painkillers
use of drugs
- the dangers of performance enhancing drug use, eg physical effects, loss of reputation, sponsorship and income
- for strength (human growth hormone, anabolic steroids)
- for aerobic performance (EPO)
- to mask other drugs (diuretics, alcohol)
- benefits and limitations of drug testing
what are reasons for drug use in sport?
- for strength
- for aerobics performance
- to mask other drugs
