  1. Types of Mechanical Sports Injuries and Definitions

  2. Blisters- separation of skin from friction, temperature, chemical, radiation Abrasion-shallow scrape of the skin Incision-Skin has been sharply cut Laceration-Skin has been torn Avulsion-skin is torn away completely Puncture-penetration by a sharp object Contusion-skin is compressed, breaking blood vessels under the skin. (bruise) Skin Injuries

  3. Contusions- deep bruise of the muscle involving bleeding in the tissue. Strain- stretch, tear or rip of muscle tissue. ( There are Three grades of strains) Tendon Injuries- tear, strain or rupture of the tendon that connects the muscle to a bone Spasms-involuntary contraction of muscle…. (almost like a twitch) Over-exertional injuries which cause muscle soreness, stiffness or cramps.. Fasciitis- injuries to the connective tissue that hold all tissue together in bundles. Muscle Injuries

  4. Sprains---- joint is stretched beyond its normal range of movement. Dislocation- sprain severe enough to tear the ligaments that hold the joint stabilized. Bursitis- chronic inflammation of a joint capsule Arthritis-chronic pain in the joint due to cartilage damage Cartilage damage- wear and tear or injury to the cartilage that cushions and protects the ends of bones at a joint Joint Injuries

  5. Fractures and Types….. Simple Transverse- Compound- Depressed- Compression/Comminuted- Greenstick- Longitudinal- Oblique- Spiral- Stress- Epiphyseal- Bone Injuries

  6. Functions of Blood 1. transport oxygen to cells from lungs 2. carry carbon dioxide from cells to lungs 3. maintain fluid balance of cells 4. carry hormones 5. fight infection 6. carry nutrients to cells from digestive organs 7. carry waste from cells to kidneys Blood , Pathogens and concerns for coaches and athletes

  7. Blood Components 1. Plasma- the liquid part of the blood that carries nutrients, waste hormones and antibodies. 2. Erythrocytes- (Red Blood Cells) carries oxygen 3. Leukocytes- (White Blood Cells) fight infection 4. Thrombocytes- (Platelets) help in clotting blood Blood , Pathogens and concerns for coaches and athletes

  8. Blood Diseases---there are numerous Blood Bor diseases that are carried in the blood and can be transferred from one person to another HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)- Hepatitis B and C- Blood , Pathogens and concerns for coaches and athletes

  9. Anemia- inability of the blood to carry oxygen….typical of women and people who have iron deficiencies. Hemophilia- inability of the blood to clot if there is an injury. Leukemia- excessive numbers of White Blood Cells that attack normal tissues and other blood cells. Septis – bacteria blood infection…… Non Communicable blood disorders

  10. Protecting coaches and players 1. Athletes that are bleeding should immediately be treated to stop the flow of blood. In severe cases, direct pressure should be applied to the wound with bandage 2. Blood soaked uniforms should be removed from play or practice. 3. Care should be used to not expose players or coaches to blood that might carry diseases. (use gloves and /or masks for protection) Blood , Pathogens and concerns for coaches and athletes

  11. Role of the respiratory system 1. provide oxygen to the body 2. remove carbon dioxide from the body Pulmonary/Respiratory System

  12. Inhaling- the diaphragm pulls downward to create a vacuum in the chest cavity and air rushes into the pair of Lungs. Exhaling- The diaphragm pushed upward to create pressure. The rib muscles also press inwards to create pressure. Pulmonary Blood vessels supply blood to the lungs to pick up and drop off gases. Respiratory system

  13. Asthma- constriction of the muscles in the bronchioles restricts air supply. Can be triggered by pollution, exercise, or other factors. Athletes with asthma need to have inhalers available for attacks. Acute Bronchitis – rapid inflammation of bronchial tubes making it difficult to breathe. Pneumonia- Fluid accumulation in one or both lungs. Deflated lung- can occur then there is a puncture of a lung or if an impact forces all the air out of the lungs. Respiratory diseases
