sport injuries

Groin Strain (Adductor muscle rupture)

Spinal Stenosis

Dislocated Shoulder

Causes of injury.

Overloading

 Overloading is where you are putting stress on the body which is caused by to much strain for example weightlifting where you are lifting heavy weights which is putting strain and stress on the body how ever if you want to increase the size of your body then you need to overload your body to be able to increase the size of your body.

Over Use

Over use is where there is a repetitive movements occurring on the body which is causing an injury to occur. For example tennis players get this a lot where they are always practicing one movement i.e. tennis serves and because they are continuously practicing this movement they are causing an injury to occur because they are putting a lot of strain

Alignment

Alignment is the body shape and posture if it’s wrong this will cause an injury to occur, for example  if a canoeist doesn’t keep their back straight whilst they are canoeing  they will injury their back  because they are not positioning it correctly in which they have been  learnt to do which will cause an injury to happen.

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors

 Intrinsic and extrinsic factors are body strength   which causes injuries for example if you are tall injuries may occur such as ..;

And if you carrying a bit of weight which can cause injuries such as

Gravity and resistance

 Gravity is needed  to be able to bring the weight back down for example when a footballer goes to header the ball they jump quite high to be able to head the ball when needed and they gravity brings them back down.

Resistance

For example in the sport swimming the resistance is quite strong and hard to swim through for a un-experience and weak swimmer.

Intensity

 Intensity is where you are overdoing it then you have previously done. For example you haven’t been doing any sport or exercise for a while and because you are doing a lot of exercise then you have previously done.  You are over doing it which is called intensity. and you could be doing an intensity exercise program which is doing a lot more exercise and sport then you have previously done.  Also intensity is where you are pushing yourself to achieve goals in various sports and exercise.

Explain

Hamstring strain can happen to footballers because they are constantly changing their speed from sprinting to just jogging in the 90 minute match. In which the constant change in speed is putting strain on the hamstring muscle which is straining it and this can be caused by not stretching correctly and it also can occur because the muscle is weak and its not use to having pressure put on  the hamstring muscle.

Groin strain can most commonly happen to footballers because they are constantly stretching too far out then they would normally to get the ball.  Also the body is putting pressure on the groin to be able to stretch quite far out to be able to get the ball and by the body putting to much pressure on the groin it is causing the groin to strain. This can also if the body isn’t used to playing a 90 minute football match and constantly stretching to far out for the ball.  Also this could occur if you haven’t stretched properly.

Spinal stenosis can mostly happen to weight lifters if they are overloading their body with weights which is putting pressure on to the lower part of the back. Which is causing strain because the body isn’t used to lifting the amount of weights that you are trying to get the body to lift which is straining the bottom of the back which in the long run is causing Spinal Stenosis.

Dislocated shoulder can happen to contact sports such as rugby. Because the arm is bending back and forth with the ball and is causing the shoulder joint to dislocate the arm. Also this is related to Alignment because if the shoulder is out of place injury can occur because the body’s posture isn’t correct which in the long run can cause different injuries to occur
