 What is It

Readings:

What are injuries? Why is my risk at getting injured higher now that I am more
active?
As cited in www.coursehero.com, individuals who engage in various types
of physical activities like sports and exercise, have a higher risk of getting injured as
compared to those who practice a sedentary lifestyle. However, the potential benefits
of an active lifestyle outweigh the risks of suffering an injury.

Most of the injuries are preventable and awareness of the risk factors will help
in reducing the risk. Furthermore, vigilance and safety measures can dramatically
reduce the occurrence of injuries.

Moreover, injuries are damaged tissues or organs which occur when it

encounters trauma or physical force that is greater than what it can resist or absorb.
The tissues are able to withstand varying degrees of stress and strain, but it will
break down if it experiences an impact that is stronger than what it can tolerate.

Factors influencing the ability of our tissues or organs to effectively resist or

absorb forces include inherent abnormality, age, technique, fitness level, equipment,
and environmental aspects.

Tissues and organs react to the impact and direction of the force. Tensile
forces are those that act away from the center of the structure, causing a pull or
stretch. Compressive forces impact the center causing it to bend or fold. Shear
forces are opposing forces toward the different ends of the structure causing it to
twist. The mechanism of how the force was applied is just as important as its impact.
The bone is strong in resisting compressive strength while muscle-tendon units are
strong at resisting tensile forces. An individual who engages in various types of
strenuous activities will expose his/her body to these forces which could result to an
injury.

Aside from the knowledge of the forces that cause injury, it is important to
understand the ability of the structures to resist or absorb forces. Injuries in sports
and fitness commonly affect the musculoskeletal structures. The ligaments, tendons,
muscles, and bones have inherent strength that helps withstand strong forces. The
strength properties of each musculoskeletal structure vary according to the density of
collagen and elastin fibers present. Its ability to withstand sudden or acute forces
also depends on the tissues (i.e., fat) that soften the impact on the structure. In
general, sports injuries can be classified into two: acute and chronic/overuse. Acute
injures have signs and symptoms (e.g., pain, swelling) that manifest immediately
after force application. On the other hand, the signs and symptoms of chronic or
overuse injuries occur after a long period of exposure to the force.
Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and wounds are examples of acute
injuries. An excessive stretching force can cause the fibers of the ligament, muscle,
or tendon to break. An overstretched ligament is called a sprain. A strain is also
caused by excessive stretching that causes tears in the muscle-tendon unit.
Fractures are
7
breaks in the continuity of the bone. It usually occurs as a result of high impact forces
that cause the bone to bend or twist. Dislocations are bones that are pushed out from
their joint capsule.

COMMON SPORTS INJURIES

In www.polarisspine.com, participating in one or more sports is a vital part of
a healthy, active lifestyle which is good for the heart, good for the respiration, good
for building and maintaining muscular strength, etc. The risk of injury should
obviously not deter you from playing sports; but, by being aware of some of the most
common sports injuries, you can take steps to prevent them or at least reduce the
risk of getting hurt.

The website determine the following most common acute injuries:

1. Strain
Strains are by far the most common of all
sports-related injuries simply because we
use so many muscles and tendons when we
exercise or play. These moving parts are all
susceptible to stretching farther than they
should, or moving in ways they shouldn’t
move, leaving them torn, damaged and in
pain. Common muscle strains include pulled https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/3
hamstrings, pulled groin muscles and D_Medical_Animation_Depicting_Strain-Tendon.jpg/308px-
3D_Medical_Animation_Depicting_Strain-Tendon.jpg
strained quads. Most strains are minor and
heal naturally with rest. The best way to reduce the risk of strained muscles and
tendons is to warm up and stretch before engaging in strenuous activity.

2. Sprain
Sprains are to ligaments what strains are
to muscles. Ligaments are the tissues that
connect bone to bone. When these ligaments
turn in a wrong way, they can pull or tear. Ankle
sprains are perhaps the most frequent type of
sprain among athletes, followed closely by knee
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/
1b/Sprained_foot.jpg/300px-Sprained_foot.jpg
sprains, wrist and elbow sprains, etc. Sprains
can be painful, take longer to heal than strains,
and sometimes require immobilization to protect against further injury. Pre-workout
stretches and warm-ups can help deter sprains, as well as practicing good technique
in the sport you’re playing. Sprains often leave the ligament weak and susceptible to
future sprains, so if you have a history of spraining a knee or ankle, for example, it
would be good idea to support that joint with a brace while playing.
3. Fracture
Impact and contact sports often lead
to fractures of the bone (mostly arms, legs
and feet), all of which can be painful, take
weeks of immobilization to heal and may
sometimes require surgery to correct.
Fractures are an inherent risk with most
strenuous and/or
contact sports, but you can reduce the risk https://www.ehsdb.com/resources/First_aid_images/Bon
by wearing the appropriate padding, e_Fracture/Fracture-8.jpe?timestamp=1465143351373
8
warming up, working out to keep muscles strong and flexible, practicing good
technique, etc. Also, don’t “play through the pain,” as sometimes the pain is a sign of
a strain or sprain that left untreated can make the bone vulnerable to fracture.
4. Dislocation
In www.mayoclinic.org defines, “dislocation is an injury in which the ends
of your bones are forced from their
normal positions. The cause is usually
trauma resulting from a fall, an auto
accident, or a collision during contact or
high-speed sports. Dislocation usually
involves the body's larger joints. In adults,
the most common site of the injury is the
shoulder. In children, it's the elbow. Your
thumb and fingers also are vulnerable if
forcibly bent the wrong way.
The injury will temporarily deform and
https://services.epnet.com/getimage.aspx?imageiid=7321
immobilize your joint and may result in sudden
and severe pain and swelling. A dislocation requires prompt medical attention to
return your bones to their proper positions”.
5. Concussion
In www.polarisspine.com defines,
concussion occurs when a sudden impact to
the head causes the brain to lurch inside the
skull, sometimes damaging the tissues
holding it in place. Concussions may be mild
to severe, with symptoms ranging from
headache and dizziness to sleepiness and
temporary loss of consciousness. Always
seek a medical evaluation from a spine-and- https://medlineplus.gov/ency/images/ency/fullsize/17143.jpg
brain specialist with any blow to the head, as
sometimes more serious symptoms may occur after the fact. Never continue to play
sports if symptoms of a concussion exist. Concussions usually heal naturally with
rest within a week to several weeks. The best way to reduce the risk of concussion is
to wear appropriate protective headgear when playing contact sports like hockey or
football, or when biking or skateboarding, etc.

What are the most common chronic injuries?

Hong (2017) defines, “exercising and sports are good for you, but they
sometimes lead to injury. Some sports injuries result from accidents while others are
due to poor training practices, improper equipment or lacking of conditioning”.

He added that chronic injury as the result of prolonged, repetitive motion that
is particularly common in endurance sports such as swimming, running and cycling.
As such, chronic injuries are often referred to as overuse injuries resulting from
overusing one body area while playing a sport or exercising over a long period.

1. Stress Fracture
According to Dr. Hilal Ahmad Rather (2018), a stress fracture is a fatigue-
induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from
a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from
repeated submaximal loading, such as running or
jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are
common overuse injuries in athletes.
This type of fracture does not require
immobilization, but the individual has to stop exercise for
around four weeks to give it time to heal.

2. Tendinopathy/Tendinitis
As cited in www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au,
“tendinopathy, also known
as tendinitis or tendonitis, is a type
of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling,
and impaired function. The pain is typically worse
with movement. It most commonly occurs around
the commonly affects the shoulder, wrist, knee,
shin and heel”.

3. Osteoarthritis
In
www.hopkinsmedicine.org, “osteoarthritis is
the most common form of arthritis. It is a
chronic degenerative joint disease that
affects mostly middle-aged and older
adults. Osteoarthritis causes the
breakdown of joint cartilage. It can occur in
any joint, but it most often affects the
hands, knees, hips, or spine”.

joint-500x381.jpg?width=500&height=381

4. Bursitis
Tyler Wheeler (2019) defines, bursitis as an
inflammation or irritation of a bursa sac.
You have these sacs all over your body.
They’re filled with fluid that helps ease
rubbing and friction between tissues like
bone, muscle, tendons, and skin. Bursitis is
common around major joints like your
shoulder, elbow, hip, or knee.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Br
sitis_Elbow_WC.JPG
 HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES
In www.hopkinsmedicine.org, “exposure to abnormal or prolonged amounts of
heat and humidity without relief or adequate fluid intake can cause various types of
heat-related illness. Children and teens adjust more slowly than adults do to changes
in environmental heat. They also produce more heat with activity than adults and
sweat less. Sweating is one of the body's normal cooling mechanisms. Children and
teens often do not think to rest when having fun and may not drink enough fluids
when playing, exercising, or participating in sports”.

The website introduces 3 types of heat-related illnesses:

1. Heat cramps- are the mildest form of heat illness and consist of painful
muscle cramps and spasms that occur during or after intense exercise and
sweating in high heat.
2. Heat exhaustion- is more severe than heat cramps and results from a loss
of water and salt in the body. It occurs in conditions of extreme heat and
excessive sweating without adequate fluid and salt replacement. Heat
exhaustion occurs when the body is unable to cool itself properly and, if left
untreated, can progress to heat stroke.
3. Heat stroke- the most severe form of heat illness, occurs when the body's
heat- regulating system is overwhelmed by excessive heat. It is a life-
threatening emergency and requires immediate medical attention.

SPORTS INJURY PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT

According to Elizabeth Quinn (2019), “whether you play sports for competition
or fitness, you don't want to be sidelined with an injury. Time away from the game or
in forced inactivity is something we all want to avoid. While it is impossible to prevent
every injury, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says research suggests
that injury rates could be reduced by 25% if athletes took appropriate preventative
action”.
Quinn suggested to use these general rules for injury prevention no matter
what sport you play.
1. Be in Proper Physical Condition to Play a Sport
Keep in mind the weekend warrior has a high rate of injury. If you play any
sports, you should adequately train for that sport. It is a mistake to expect the sport
itself to get you into shape. Many injuries can be prevented by following a regular
conditioning program of exercises designed specifically for your sport.

2. Know and Abide by the Rules of the Sport

The rules are designed, in part, to keep things safe. This is extremely
important for anyone who participates in a contact sport. You need to learn them and
to play by the rules of conduct. Respect the rules on illegal procedures and insist on
enforcement by referees, umpires, and judges.
3. Wear Appropriate Protective Gear and Equipment
 Protective pads, mouth guards, helmets, gloves, and other equipment are not
for those you consider weak; they are for everyone. Protective equipment that fits
you well can save your knees, hands, teeth, eyes, and head. Never play without your
safety gear.
4. Rest
Athletes with a high number of consecutive days of training, have more
injuries. While many athletes think the more they train, the better they'll play, this is a
misconception. Rest is a critical component of proper training. Rest can make you
stronger and prevent injuries of overuse, fatigue and poor judgment.
5. Always Warm-Up Before Playing
Warm muscles are less susceptible to injuries. The proper warm-up is essential for
injury prevention. Make sure your warm-up suits your sport. You may simply start
your sport slowly, or practice specific stretching or mental rehearsal depending upon
your activity.
6. Avoid Playing When Very Tired or in Pain
This is a set-up for a careless injury. Pain indicates a problem. You need to pay
attention to warning signs your body provides.

SPORTS INJURY MANAGEMENT

In www.podiatrymed.co.nz/ defines, “Sports Injury Management is the

management of a specific injury to allow an individual to return or continue their
chosen sport without damaging or compromising their body. Managing a sports injury
correctly is important and can help to minimize damage to a muscle, tendon,
ligament, and joint, hence, increasing the chance of a full recovery”.

First Aid Techniques to Injuries

In https://pivotalmotion.physio/, explains that, “the first 24-48 hours after
sustaining a soft tissue injury is crucial in ensuring the best outcome for healing. As
a general rule, management for most acute soft tissue injuries is as simple as
remembering two simple acronyms – RICER and HARM” .

The website suggest to follow the RICER procedure:

Initially, the objective for healing any soft tissue injury

is to minimize swelling and bleeding. Reducing
REST movement, and in some cases immobilizing the
injured area, is one of the simplest methods to reduce
further injury and promote healing
 Cooling the injured area serves to slow down tissue
metabolism. It may cause contraction of blood vessels
which will slow down blood flow and assist with
ICE reducing swelling. Ice can also provide a temporary
numbing effect to assist with short term pain relief as
well. Ensure that intense cooling is not applied directly
to the skin to minimize the potential for skin burns.
Compressing an injured area can have a direct effect
on swelling. Applying a bandage to the area can help
to limit the amount of bleeding that occurs in an
COMPRESSION
isolated area. Caution needs to be taken to ensure
that any compressive bandage is firm, however does
not reduce the normal circulation to the area
Elevating the injured area will also serve to reduce the
collection of fluid to the area by limiting the effect of
ELEVATION gravity. For foot or leg injuries, lying with the injured
area elevated above the level of the pelvis with the
use of pillows is an easy start.
While RICER helps promote healing in the early stages
REFER of injury to get the right diagnosis you need to see an
appropriate health professional

In the first few days of an injury, remember to avoid HARM:

Heat will cause blood vessels to dilate which in turn
HEAT will increase the flow of blood to the area. Avoid hot
baths, showers, saunas, heat packs, and heat rubs.
Alcohol can increase swelling, resulting to longer
recovery. Similar to heat, alcohol has an effect of
dilating blood vessels, which in turn will increase the
ALCOHOL flow of blood to the area. Alcohol can also mask pain
and the severity of the injury, which may put you at
greater risk for re-injury. Avoid drinking alcohol in the
initial stages of healing any injury.
RUNNING OR OTHER An increase in heart rate increases the flow of blood
EXCESSIVE around the body. This will cause blood to accumulate
EXERCISE in the area faster. Take the opportunity to rest.
Massaging the area, once again, will stimulate the flow
MASSAGE of blood to the area. Avoid massage in the initial
stages of injury.
