Alan Shephard and Edgar Mitchell - made history when they became the first people to play sport on the moon.
Sports injuries are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact, or the application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand.
Common injuries include bruises, sprains, strains, joint injuries and nosebleeds.
Medical investigation is important, as leaving an injury untreated can have far more severe consequences.
Includes your bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues.
musculoskeletal system Includes your bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues.
musculoskeletal system - Together, they support your body’s weight, maintain your posture and help you move.
Bones - support your body, protect organs and tissue
Cartilage - type of connective tissue, cartilage cushions bones inside your joints
Joints -Some joints have a large range of motion, such as the ball-and-socket shoulder joint.
Tendons - connect muscles to bones
Ligaments - connect bones and help stabilize joints.
Muscles - allow you to move, sit upright and stay still.
BONES - provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs.
CARTILAGE -
a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints and nerves
JOINTS - is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement.
There are about 600 muscles in the human body.
tendon - is a cord of strong, flexible tissue, like a rope. Tendons connect your muscles to your bones. Tendons let us move our limbs
Ligaments - are bands of tissue that help hold bones, joints and organs in place. You can take several steps to protect your ligaments
tension force is often given as a "pulling" force. The load being placed upon the material must be applied axially to be a tension force.
TENSILE FORCES - is often given as a "pulling" force. The load being placed upon the material must be applied axially to be a tension force.
COMPRESSIVE FORCES is the application of power, pressure, or exertion against an object that causes it to become squeezed, squashed, or compacted.
SHEAR FORCES - are unaligned forces pushing one part of a body in one specific direction, and another part of the body in the opposite direction.
TYPES OF SPORTS INJURIES
An injury that occurs suddenly, such as a sprained ankle caused by an awkward landing, is known as an acute injury.
CHRONIC are caused by repeated overuse of muscle groups or joints. Poor technique and structural abnormalities can also contribute to the development of chronic injuries.
ACUTE - generally, an injury that is severe and with sudden onset. Sprained ankles, strained backs, and fractured hands are acute injuries.
Acute injury - is a sudden injury that is usually associated with a traumatic event such as clashing into another player during sports or a fall from a bike.
EXAMPLES OF ACUTE INJURIES
-SPRAIN
-STRAIN
-WOUND
-DISLOCATION
-FRACTURE
A chronic injury is the result of prolonged, repetitive motion that is particularly common in endurance sports such as swimming, running and cycling.
CHRONIC - are often referred to as overuse injuries – injuries resulting from overusing one body area while playing a sport or exercising over a long period.
TYPES OF OVERUSE INJURIES
STAGE 1, STAGE 2, STAGE 3
STAGE1 - Injury complain only after the activity game, or training sessions.
STAGE2 - Injury complain during the activity but do not feel it during the rest.
STAGE3 - The athlete feels pain whether at rest or play.
Swelling - is the result of the increased movement of fluid and white blood cells into the injured area.
SWELLING - The release of chemicals and the compression of nerves in the area of injury cause pain.
SWELLING - The pain and swelling can keep the athlete from using the injured part, serving to protect it from further injury.
A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments — the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints. The most common location for a sprain is in your ankle.
A strain is when a muscle is stretched too much and tears. It is also called a pulled muscle. A strain is a painful injury. It can be caused by an accident, overusing a muscle, or using a muscle in the wrong way
