Across
  1. 4. rehabilitation method that uses cold temperatures to treat an injurt - cryogenic chambers for the whole body (blood is directed to the core and once out of the chamber the blood returns back to the arm and legs with lots of oxygen in it)
  2. 5. type of chronic injury where the achilles tendon becomes inflamed and painful -- AT connects the gastrocnemius to the heel bone
  3. 7. type of stretching that involves swinging and bouncing movements
  4. 10. type of fracture that is a chronic injury where the area becomes tender and swollen - muscles become fatigued - muscle is no longer able to absorb the shock of exercise so the muscle gives bone the stress resulting in a tiny crack in the bone - most common in weight-bearing activities
  5. 15. rehabilitation method - aim is to reduce the recovery time for an injury - chamber is pressurized to 100% oxygen thus more oxygen goes to the injured site - excess oxygen dissolves into the blood and reduces swelling and stimulates white blood cells
  6. 16. type of garment - recovery method - improves blood circulation - prevents deep vein thrombosis (blood clotting) - used by athletes to help remove lactate and reduce inflammation
  7. 17. type of fracture where there is a clean break to the bone that does not penetrate through the skin or cause damage to surrounding tissue
  8. 18. recovery method - prevent soft tissue (tendons-ligaments-muscles-nerves-blood vessels) injuries - increased blood flow to soft tissue - removal of lactate - stretching to relieve pressure - breaks down scar tissue
  9. 20. rehabilitation method that takes place in warm water - improves circulation - relieves pain - buoyancy of water takes weight load off of joint or injured site - exercising against the water resistance strengthens the body and the injured site
  10. 25. type of chronic injury that is also referred to as lateral epicondylitis and occurs in the muscles attached to the elbow that are used to straighten the wrist - muscles and tendons become inflamed and tiny tears occur - area becomes sore - pain felt on the outside of the elbow
  11. 26. type of injury that is sudden and caused by a specific impact of traumatic event - sharp pain is felt immediately - severe pain
  12. 27. prevention method used to help identify those at risk of complications -- young athletes have cardiac risk in the young screening
  13. 28. happens when the ends of bones are forced out of position - occur at a joint - very painful - bone is visibly out of place
  14. 30. type of training that is a rehabilitation method which is a subconscious process using a system of nerves - following an injury this process is impaired - training uses hopping and jumping and balance to teach body to control the position of an injured joint - balance board used

  1. 1. type of training that is an injury prevention method and involves active, passive, static and ballistic stretching
  2. 2. type of equipment that is an injury prevention method - gumguard - shin pads - gloves
  3. 3. recovery method - self-massage - release tension - prevent injury - increase mobility - comes in many different shapes and sizes
  4. 6. type of stretching that uses an external force to help the stretched position - wall - other athlete
  5. 8. occurs when the muscle fibres are stretched too far and tear - likely if performer is constantly accelerating and decelerating suddenly - prone when muscle groups are over-used
  6. 9. prevention method - harder - less movement - aim is to prevent further injury
  7. 11. occurs when the ligament is stretched too far and tears - prone in sports with excessive twisting and turning
  8. 12. prepares the body for exercise - increases elasticity of the muscle tissue - increases hr - contains three stages -- cv exercise / stretching / movement patterns
  9. 13. type of acute injury - break or crack in a bone
  10. 14. type of recovery method where an athlete sits in a bath of ice for 5-10 minutes which drains blood out of the legs carrying lactic acid and on leaving the bath the legs fill with new oxygen rich blood
  11. 19. type of injury that often occurs after playing sport for a long time - develop slowly - lasts a long time - also called over-use injuries - may be ignored by an athlete
  12. 21. type of stretching when a stretched position is held by the contraction of an agonist muscle - pushing joint beyond its point of resistance
  13. 22. type of fracture where soft tissue or skin has been damaged - greater risk of infection
  14. 23. type of training that is a rehabilitation method which uses a resistance to prepare the body for exercise - free weights - machine weights - body weight - therabands
  15. 24. type of stretching when the muscle is held in a stationary position for 10+ secs
  16. 29. prevention method - helps with support and stability - kinesiology tape for example
  17. 31. type of therapry that targets minor aches and pains - recovery method - vasoconstriction decreases blood flow to decrease inflammation - decreases swelling as the muscle has more movement
