Study Notes
PRICE Method for Injuries
- Protect yourself from injury by taking precautions such as wearing appropriate clothing and equipment, and warming up
- Rest the injury to allow the body's natural healing mechanisms to work
R - Rest
- Resting the injury is the first step in treating a sprain or strain
- Allows the body's natural healing mechanisms to work to repair the damage caused to the soft tissue
I - Ice
- Ice the injury to reduce swelling and pain
- Use a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel or a reusable cold pack
- Do not apply ice directly to the skin to avoid tissue damage
C - Compression
- Compression helps to prevent excessive swelling by physically compressing the tissue around the injury
- Use a bandage such as a cohesive bandage to achieve this
E - Elevation
- Elevate the injury above the level of the body to reduce swelling
- Excess fluids will flow back towards the body and not pool in the injured limb
Preventing Injuries
- Regular strengthening and stretching exercises can help prevent injuries
- Warming up and cooling down before and after exercise can also help prevent injuries
- Stop exercising if you feel a sharp or sudden pain
Tendonitis
- Tendonitis is a painful swelling and irritation of the tendons caused by overuse
- Can happen when muscles are overworked or stretched too much or too quickly
Muscle Injuries
- Strains and sprains are two of the most common injuries in sports
- A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon overstretches
- A sprain occurs when a ligament is overstretched or torn
Strain Symptoms
- Pain
- Swelling
- Muscle spasms
- Stiffness
- Limited range of motion
Sprain Symptoms
- Bruising
- Pain
- Unable to put weight on affected area
- Skin discoloration
- Stiffness
How Injuries Happen
- Strains can occur when putting too much pressure on a muscle or pushing it too far
- Sprains can occur when landing unevenly on a jump, pivoting in an activity, or overextending a muscle
- Not warming up before exercise can increase the risk of muscle injuries
Working Your Muscles
- Exercise can increase a muscle's endurance and strength
- Different exercises can affect different aspects of muscle function
