Examples include tennis, skiing, biking, track, rowing, skating, swimming, and rock climbing.

Non-Endurance Sports

Examples include bowling, fishing, golf, hunting, archery, and billiards.

NATA "High Risk" Sports

High-risk sports identified by NATA include football, basketball, gymnastics, hockey, lacrosse, rodeo, rugby, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling.

Injury Statistics

Football has the highest incidence of serious injuries due to the large number of players.
Basketball ranks second in injury rates.

Body Planes

Midsagittal: Divides body into right and left halves.
Frontal (coronal): Divides body into front and back halves.
Transverse: Divides body into top and bottom halves.

Anatomical Directions

Superior: Nearer to the head.
Inferior: Nearer to the feet.
Proximal: Nearer to the center of the body.
Distal: Farther from the center.
Anterior: Toward the front.
Posterior: Toward the back/rear.
Lateral: Away from the midline.
Medial: Toward the midline.

Abdominopelvic Quadrants

Right Upper: Liver, gallbladder, colon.
Left Upper: Stomach, spleen, colon.
Right Lower: Cecum, ascending colon, appendix.
Left Lower: Descending and sigmoid colon.

Movements

Abduction: Movement away from the midline.
Adduction: Movement toward the midline.
Eversion: Movement turning outward.
Inversion: Movement turning inward.
Extension: To straighten.
Flexion: To bend.
External Rotation: Rotary motion away from the midline.
Internal Rotation: Rotary motion toward the midline.

Joint Movements

External and internal rotation occurs only at hip and shoulder joints due to their ball-and-socket structure.

Hand Movements

Pronation: Turning the palm downward.
Supination: Turning the palm upward.

Types of Injuries

Primary Injury: Results directly from the stress of a sport.
Secondary Injury: Complications arise from untreated primary injuries or recurring injuries.

Skin and Tissue Injuries

Epithelial Tissue: Covers internal and external surfaces, primarily for protection and structural support.
Blister: Result of continuous rubbing, causing fluid collection below the epidermis.
Abrasion: Scraping that wears away epidermis/dermis, exposing blood capillaries, requiring cleaning to prevent infection.
Contusion (Bruise): Caused by a blow from an object leading to soft tissue damage, pain, and discoloration.
