100
A series of steps used to assess the extent of injury to a player and determine if they can continue playing.
What is TOTAPS?
100
A condition where there is an abnormally low level of haemoglobin, resulting in less oxygen being available to tissue. Can impact female athletes
What is "anaemia"?
100

To prevent potential injuries of an athlete, one should consider the following actions before participation in an advanced training program or sporting activity.

What are: Pre-screening (especially those at risk) Skill & Technique (temporal patterning, pacing & control) Physical Fitness (different attributes for different sports) Warm up, stretching and cool down * Can you think of an acronym to remember these?

100

Following an immobilisation injury, the following "injury management procedures" should be part of the athletes rehab before return to play.

What are: Progressive mobilisation, Graduated exercise, Training and Use of heat and cold

100

The term for when there is a decrease in blood vessel size causing less blood to be supplied by those blood vessels as a result of hypothermia

What is "vasoconstriction"

200

compound, closed, and open

What are types of bone fractures

200

Children are at greater risk on hot an humid days of heat stress due to...

under developed thermoregulation mechanisms

200

The 5 components that make up the section of "Sports policy and the sports environment" are: 

What is: Rules of sports and activities Use of protective equipment Modified rules for children Matching of opponents Safe grounds, equipment and facilities

200

Masks the pain which would otherwise tell the athlete that tissue damage is occurring

What is an "Ethical issue" (pain killer injections)

200

before altitude acclimatisation which fitness component is less efficient

What is aerobic capacity

300

We do this during which step in RICER to decrease bleeding, reduce swelling and reduce throbbing.

What is Elevate

300

-Non contact sports can be done (with doctor advice)

-Minimal contact sports (racquet sports / netball) are safe during the first trimester, and possibly can continue into the second trimester.

-Contact / Collision sports (soccer / basketball) are safe in first trimester  only.

-Lifting and straining exercises are not recommended.

What are

considerations for pregnant women

300
When exercising there is heat loss through convection, radiation, conduction and evaporation it the following order from greatest to least
What is: Radiation (heat lost from body to atmosphere) at 60% Evaporation (heat loss through sweating) at 25% Convection (heat from body via moving fluid) at 12% Conduction (heat from body to an object) at 3%
300

The Indicators of readiness to return to play are:

What are: Pain Free, Strength, Flexibility, Range of Motion

300

The danger with athletes exercising in humid conditions is that humidity prevents this thermoregulation mechanisnm

What is "evaporation" which can cause the athlete to overheat.

400

injury classification of a blow to the gastrocnemius by a hockey stick

What is soft tissue, direct, acute, contusion

400
A diabetic child participating in sport should consume more of these as part of their diet.
What is "complex carbohydrates".
400
A training technique where an athlete experiences different climatic stressors, causing physiological adaptations to occur
What is "acclimatisation"
400
Regaining the level of mental and physical fitness reached by the athlete before the injury occurred is termed...
What is "total body fitness"
400
A cool down which gradually reduces heart rate reduces vasodilatation and the tendency for this to occur.
What is "blood pooling" in muscles that were heavily worked.
500

This is characterised by pain, redness, loss of function, damage to cells/surrounding tissue, increased blood flow to area, oedema, formation of blood vessels to promote healing

What is stage 1 of the Inflammatory response.

500

1. Heart Conditions

2. Fractures / Bone Density

3. Flexibilty / Joint Mobility

What are considerations for "aged athletes"?

500

Athletes can prevent injuries by placing special emphasis on developing the physical components specific to their activities

What is "Physical Fitness"

500

The the number of days post injury when heat can be used.

What is

heat can be used 2 to 3 days after the injury.

500

Name the least effective mechanism of thermoregulation

What is radiation
