Health priorities in Australia
Factors Affecting Performance
Improving Performance
Sports Medicine
Sports Med continued
100
- role of epidemiology - measures of epidemiology (mortality, infant mortality, morbidity, life expectancy)
Measuring health status
100
- alactacid system (ATP/PC) - lactic acid system - aerobic system
Energy systems
100
- resistance training e.g. elastic, hydraulic - weight training e.g. plates, dumbbells - isometric training
Types of strength training:
100
- direct and indirect - soft or hard tissue - overuse
ways to classify sports injuries
100
- temperature regulation (convection, radiation, conduction, evaporation) - climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, rain, altitude, pollution) - guidelines for fluid intake - acclimatisation
environmental conditions
200
- healthy ageing - increased population living with chronic disease and disability - demand for health services and workforce shortages - availability of carers and volunteers
A growing and ageing population
200
- progressive overload - reversibility - variety - training thresholds - warm up and cool down
Principles of training
200
- continuous/uniform - fartlek - long interval
aerobic training:
200
TOTAPS (talk, observe, touch, active and passive movement, skills test)
assessment of injuries
200
- preventative taping - taping for isolation of injury - bandaging for immediate treatment of injury
taping and bandaging
300
- social justice principles - priority population groups - prevalence of condition - potential for prevention and early intervention - costs to the individual and community
Identifying priority population groups
300
- concentration/ attention skills (focusing) - mental rehearsal/visualisation/imagery - relaxation techniques - goal-setting
psychological strategies to enhance motivation and manage anxiety
300
- performance and fitness needs (individual and team) - schedule of events/competitions - climate and season
Initial planning considerations
300
- heart conditions - fractures/bone density - flexibility/ joint mobility
adult and aged athletes
300
- indicators of readiness for return to play (pain free, degree of mobility) - monitoring progress (pre-test and post-test)
return to play
400
- reasons for growth of complimentary and alternative health products and services - range of products and services available - how to make informed consumer choices
Complementary and alternative health care approaches
400
- vitamins and minerals - protein - caffeine - creatine products
supplementation
400
- health and safety considerations - providing an overview of the season to athletes (goal-specific) - warm up and cool down - skill instruction and practice - conditioning - evaluation
Elements to be considered when designing a training session
400
- pre-screening - skill and technique - physical fitness - warm up, stretching and cool down
physical preperation
400
- progressive mobilisation - graduated exercise (stretching, conditions, total body fitness) - training - use of heat and cold
rehabilitation procedures
500
- responsibility for health facilities and services - equity of access to health facilities and services - health care expenditure verses expenditure on early intervention and prevention
Health care in Australia
500
- characteristics of skilled performers e.g. kinaesthetic sense, anticipation, consistency, technique - objective and subjective performance measures - validity and reliability of tests - personal versus prescribes judging criteria
assessment of skill and performance
500
- amount and intensity of training - physiological considerations, eg lethargy, injury - psychological considerations, eg loss of motivation
Planning to avoid overtraining
500
- rules of sports and activities - modified rules for children - matching of opponents, e.g growth and development, skill level - use of protective equipment - safe grounds, equipment and facilities
sports policy and the sports environment
500
- psychological readiness - specific warm-up procedures - ethical considerations, eg pressure to participate, use of painkillers
return to play
