  1. Sports Physiology Anatomy- To cut up, the study of the body plan Gross Anatomy- Can be seen with the naked eye Microscopic Anatomy- Requires a microscope Physiology- The scientific study of function in living systems Kinesiology- The Study of Human Movement Medicine-  the field of applied science related to the art of healing by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease

  2. Sports medicine specializes in preventing,diagnosingandtreatinginjuries related to participating in sports and/or exercise, specifically the rotation or deformation of joints or muscles caused by engaging in such physical activities.

  3. WHY?What The Statistics Tell Us According to SAFE KIDS USA: More than 3.5 million children ages 14 and under receive medical treatment for sports injuries each year. Injuries associated with participation in sports and recreational activities account for 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries among children in the United States. Overuse injury, which occurs over time from repeated motion, is responsible for nearly half of all sports injuries to middle-and high-school students. Immature bones, insufficient rest after an injury and poor training or conditioning contribute to overuse injuries among children. Most organized sports related injuries (62 percent) occur during practices rather than games. Despite this fact, a third of parents often do not take the same safety precautions during their child's practices as they would for a game. A recent survey found that among athletes ages 5 to 14, 15 percent of basketball players, 28 percent of football players, 22 percent of soccer players, 25 percent of baseball players and 12 percent of softball players have been injured while playing their respective sports. Children ages 5 to 14 account for nearly 40 percent of all sports-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments. The rate and severity of sports-related injury increases with a child's age.

  4. Statistics Continued According to the CDC, more than half of all sports injuries in children are preventable. Since 2000 there has been a fivefold increase in the number of serious shoulder and elbow injuries among youth baseball and softball players.

  5. PREVENTION!!! So what is the first priority of professionals in the sports medicine field?

  6. WHO: Possible Careers in Sports Medicine Athletic trainer Biochemist Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation specialist Medical physician Exercise physiologist Dietitian/sports nutritionist Fitness director Occupational physiologist Personal trainer Physical/occupational therapist Researcher Strength & conditioning coach Teacher

  7. So what do these jobs mean … ? Get with one other partner. Each group will be given a different career to research. You are responsible for teaching your peers what your career is: You will use any resources to learn about the career and will present to the class your information.
