Study Notes
- The text discusses internal factors related to physical structure that pose risks in exercise.
- Height: In certain sports, height can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on the sport. For example, basketball and volleyball require tall athletes, while sports like weightlifting and horseback riding benefit from short stature. In sports like fencing, skiing, and long-distance running, height does not matter. For athletes who do not fit the required physique for their sport, their height can be a risk factor.
- Weight: The required physical structure for a sport includes body weight. Excessive weight can create a disadvantage in certain sports, such as endurance sports, where more oxygen is used per kilogram. In sports where jumping is important, excess body weight increases the load on the lower extremities, increasing the risk of injury. Normal body weight is crucial for optimal performance.
- Joint stability: Lack of joint stability is a risk factor for sports injuries. Instability around the joints often originates due to insufficient muscle strength. By increasing the strength of the muscles around unstable joints, the instability is compensated, reducing the risk of injury to tendons and ligaments.
- Body fat percentage: The role of body fat percentage in athletes varies by sport. For instance, in team games, excess body fat can create additional weight and lead to energy consumption and fatigue. However, in marathon swimming, a higher body fat percentage can maintain body temperature.
- Age: The age of an athlete can pose positive or negative risks depending on the sport. Young athletes, whose bones are still growing, are at risk of damage from weightlifting or unconscious weight training. Direct blows to growth zones can stop growth and elongation.
