For Fitness Enthusiasts and Health-Care Professionals of All Levels What Constitutes a Sports Injury? Sports injuries are most commonly associated with the musculoskeletal system, which includes the muscles, bones, joints and associated tissues such as ligaments and tendons. This book includes a detailed overview of 120 sports injuries. Each sports injury is described by: the anatomy and physiology involved, possible causes, signs and symptoms, complications, immediate treatment, rehabilitation procedures and long-term prognosis. Design an Exercise Program The two biggest mistakes people make when designing an exercise program are to train too hard and to not include enough variety. This will lead to an unbalanced muscular system, which is a surefire recipe for injury. The FITT principle (or formula) is a great way of monitoring an exercise program. The acronym outlines the essential elements of an effective exercise program and the initials stand for: F: Frequency I: Intensity T: Time T: Type Treatment and Rehabilitation Exercises Sports injury management encompasses the entire process of treating a sports injury, right from the time the injury occurs through to the time the injured player is fully recovered and stronger than before the injury occurred. Sports injury management involves four phases: First aid: the first three minutesTreatment: the next three daysRehabilitation: the next three weeksConditioning: the next three months
