Athlete high-risk injury

1. High risk of Injury in Elite Athletes

2. What is aim of sport?

3. Is it to recreate?

4. Is it to make friendly relationship between
nations
and think of equality in humanity?

5. Is it to become superior?

6. Is it to improve performance?

7. Is it to improve human performance by
avoiding injuries?

8. If No then what?

9. Today we use artificial surfaces for play

10. Specifying athlete for a single event

11. Creating physiological and psychological load

12. Overusing a particular part of the body

13. If not injured today, may be after few years?

14. So now.

15. Every week, an average of three in every ten adolescent elite athletes suffer an
injury. Worst affected are young women, and the risk of injury increases with
low self-esteem, especially in combination with less sleep and higher training
volume and intensity.

16. Even though thousands of young elite athletes participate in organized
sporting events every year, knowledge of injury and its consequences
is limited.

17. Causes of High Risk in Elite Athletes

18. • Cardiovascular – Myocardial infarction, angina, peripheral vascular disease,
congestive heart failure, revascularization, heart valve disorders, and/or conduction
disorders.

19. • Musculoskeletal
Osteoporosis, limb amputations, osteoarthritis, lower back conditions, frailty, joint
disorders, joint replacements, sarcopenia, posture disorders, and cystic fibrosis.

20. • Behavioral
Disordered eating, body image disorders, depression, and chemical dependency. Special
populations also include those groups of people with unique traits that are not necessarily
afflicted by a chronic or temporary health condition.

21. • Contact Injury
by equipment or another athlete

22. Girls had the highest rate of injury and remained injured for
longer.

23. In perhaps the largest study to date, the body site most likely to be injured by an overuse
mechanism was the lower leg, followed by the knee, shoulder, and foot.

24. The high risk of injury in adolescent elite athletes indicates that
early-intervention injury-prevention strategies are needed in
order to avoid long-term consequences of injury and to
encourage continuing engagement in sport.

25. Therefore it is recommend that medical teams are made available for
all athletes at every national sports high school to reduce the
unhealthy behavior associated with being injured, to prevent new
injuries and to help injured athletes return to sport.
