Sport

In any sports-related event, it is important that one takes care not to incur an injury. However, this is not possible all the time because this is an unavoidable part of all sports. A personal safety training, even if well-monitored is still not the best move for an injured athlete. The athlete needs to deal with the emotional turmoil that accompanies any injury that is not at all expected. It is inevitable that an athlete will feel worthless and depressed because he will not be able to play for a long time. But it is always important to exercise caution the next time around.

Student-athletes are viewed as leaders and role models in schools or universities. They are respected and emulated by other students considering that to be labeled as a student-athlete requires them to meet rigorous set of qualifications and standards. They are respected and emulated for their character, steadfast discipline academically, in their chosen field of sports as well as in their personal lives whether off and on campus. That is why when they cannot train because of an injury, they can be frustrated with their condition. When they are off campus, they represent their schools in events that they attend to or participate in. Considering the great responsibilities they assume as student-athletes, they are expected to meet the standards being asked of them to be worthy of such respect and emulation from others, be they fellow students, the faculty members, the school administrators and even the public. But if they are wise enough, they will not ignore the warnings that their own physical body manifests.

There is a need to gather all the concerned persons to support an injured athlete. There are personal perspectives and suggestions that are important to consider. When the proper precautions are not heeded, then it is more likely that there will be a second injury. Strengthconditioning coaches have an important role in situations like these so that the rehab of these individuals will be hastened especially on the injured area. When the training procedures are instituted, they can include rudimentary activities as body weight exercises, manual resistancemassage applications, and hydra-training in a pool or a therapy pool that has a resistance mechanism.

Personal safety training must not be undertaken by injured athletes because that can spell further injury. For instance, in a knee injury, runners must heed their coaches when they advice that it is important to have a much-needed rest before they strain themselves again. The individual must take time off to recover that injured part in order to achieve an overall fitness level. There is a need for a differential training which means that he has to work out the healthy muscles and the different parts of the body while letting the injured part heal. This will make him ready to go back to his regular activity and pick up before the injury occurred. It is important to note that athletes are both physically and mentally driven by results. Progression is a critical ingredient in any kind of training, but it is also a vital constituent in rehab design. More than this, tracking and comparing the initial post-injury strength level with the new gains gives information on the healing process so that a person can make wise decisions on the progress of frequency, duration, and intensity of the workloads. By and large, it is important to remember that sports accidents are common and can be reduced by exercising enough care and precaution. But when injuries to individuals occur, there is a need for a long period of rehab that will prevent any more injuries. There is also a need to acquire more knowledge on the mechanisms of injury according to technical skill.
