Directions: Identify the health services provided in your school and community in case
of injury or emergency. Fill in the information being asked in the survey table.

Questions School Community

roles/responsibilities?
3. Do you think the health services
are enough in case of
injury/emergency? Why?
 What is It

What are injuries? Why is my risk at getting injured higher now that I am more
active?
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. The more engaging the sport or the more rigorous the exercise is,
the higher is the risk for injuries. However, the potential benefits of physical activities
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, proper warm-up and training, 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 or force 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, body position, 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 the combination of 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, elastin fibers present and the actual position of the body structure at the time
it was exposed to these forces. Jumping and landing on a fully extended leg can cause
injury than when it is extended and flexed gradually upon landing thereby absorbing
the impact which could have caused an injury. 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, injuries including 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
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. Remember: ligament is to sprain, muscle-tendon unit is to strain,
fractures and dislocations is for bones.

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 by
wearing the appropriate padding, warming
up, working out to keep muscles strong and https://www.ehsdb.com/resources/First_aid_images/Bon
flexible, practicing good technique, etc. Also, e_Fracture/Fracture-8.jpe?timestamp=1465143351373
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
(training)”.

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

players performing a backhand stroke.

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”.

affected-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/Brsitis_E
lbow_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, a person who participates in an activity only
in their spare time, 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 (Restrict
movement, and in some cases immobilizing the injured
Movement/Immobilize)
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
reducing swelling and inflammation. It is crucial that ice
or cooling therapy should be applied as soon as
ICE
possible to the injured area. 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 isolated
COMPRESSION
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
of injury to get the right assessment, diagnosis, and
REFER
treatment 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 will
increase the flow of blood to the area. Avoid hot baths,
HEAT
showers, saunas, heat packs, and heat rubs. Use the
ice principle and treatment instead.
Alcohol can increase swelling, resulting to longer
ALCOHOL
recovery. Like heat, alcohol has an effect of dilating
 blood vessels, which in turn will increase the 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. Hydrate with water and real fruit
juices instead.
An increase in heart rate increases the flow of blood
around the body. This will cause blood to accumulate in

part and always follow the advice of the health care
professional for the exercise of the injured part.
Massaging the area, once again, will stimulate the flow
of blood to the area. Avoid massage in the initial stages

may lead to other injury.
