Mild traumatic brain injuries are an inherent risk in contact sports but are often misunderstood or seen as a sign of weakness. All involved in such sports must be educated on concussion signs, symptoms, and risks to ensure athlete safety through proper diagnosis and management. Multiple concussions and failure to report symptoms can have long-term health effects, so guidelines are needed at all levels to protect players and treat even mild injuries as brain injuries.
Off-Season Training Program Design & ConsiderationsLew Porchiazzo
The document provides guidance on designing an annual off-season training program for athletes. It recommends determining the demands of the sport and needs of athletes. An annual training calendar should be created to emphasize continual development and include various strength and conditioning methods. Performance tests can assess athletes' current levels and be used to track improvements. The sample calendar layout includes the academic schedule, competitions, training phases, micro/mesocycles, and priority of training variables.
The document discusses plyometrics, which is a type of training using rapid eccentric and concentric muscle contractions to improve power and athletic performance. It covers the neurological and biomechanical principles behind plyometrics, considerations for developing an effective plyometrics program, and provides examples of upper and lower body plyometric exercises. The goal of plyometrics is to enhance the reactivity of the neuromuscular system through high-intensity, explosive exercises.
1) Middle-aged adults who were least fit at checkups were most likely to develop chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer at an earlier age.
2) While even the most fit adults may still develop chronic diseases, they tended to do so later in life and lived with the diseases for shorter time periods.
3) Long-term marathon running was associated with both benefits and risks for cardiovascular health. It provided a more favorable risk profile but also increased coronary plaque and the risk of cardiac injuries with intense exercise. The risks depended on factors like age, sex, and training status.
This document discusses exercise physiology and the structure and function of exercising muscle. It begins by defining anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, and sports physiology. It then describes the structure of muscle including the epimysium, perimysium, endomysium, plasmalemma, sarcoplasm, transverse tubules, and sarcoplasmic reticulum. It explains the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction which is driven by the hydrolysis of ATP and the release and reuptake of calcium. It concludes by describing the roles of the neuromuscular junction, action potentials, and calcium in initiating and ending muscle contraction.
This document provides information about mobility training. It defines mobility training as techniques used to improve range of motion for functional activities. These include muscle energy techniques, stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching. Contraindications for mobility training are discussed. The document outlines the rationale, prerequisites, and step-by-step protocols for muscle energy techniques and PNF stretching techniques. It explains the neurophysiological principles of autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition that underlie PNF stretching.
Manual therapy techniques were found to be the most effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain compared to other treatments like NSAIDs, joint injections, topical applicants, TENS, and acupuncture. Patients receiving manual therapy saw pain relief after 2 weeks of treatment and less reoccurrence of pain compared to other groups. Manual therapy was found to resolve the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain rather than just temporarily reducing symptoms like other treatments.

This document provides an overview of neural control of exercising muscle. It discusses:
- The basic structures of the nervous system including neurons, nerve impulses, and membrane potentials.
- How sensory and motor divisions of the peripheral nervous system relay signals between the central nervous system and muscles/organs.
- How higher brain centers and structures like the cerebellum and basal ganglia integrate sensory input and coordinate motor responses.
- Key concepts like sensory-motor integration, muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, and the roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
- How motor units are recruited in an orderly manner depending on force requirements.
This document discusses stress, anxiety, and techniques for managing them. It defines types of stress like eustress, distress, hypo-stress, and hyperstress. It also defines types of anxiety like state anxiety, trait anxiety, and competitive anxiety. The document describes how anxiety is measured using questionnaires, behavioral observations, and physiological tests, each with pros and cons. Finally, it outlines cognitive and physiological techniques for controlling stress and anxiety, such as imagery, attention control, self-talk, goal setting, and relaxation.
This document discusses motivation in sports. It defines motivation as the drive to participate in an activity and continue with it. Motivation can be intrinsic, coming from internal factors like enjoyment, or extrinsic, coming from external factors like rewards. Intrinsic motivations for athletes include improving skills, playing with a team, and feeling competent. Extrinsic motivations include earning recognition, prizes, and money. Understanding different types of motivation can help explain factors that influence sports performance.
Thorough research has solidified my decision to enter the Strength and Conditioning industry. Whether through a graduate program through Colorado State University or to enter the workforce immediately upon graduating from Clemson, I feel as though I am ready to compete on a national stage for the career that I have worked towards my whole life.
This document summarizes the neuromuscular control of muscles. It discusses how motor units consist of a motor neuron and muscle fibers, and the number of motor units depends on muscle size and function. It also describes the "all-or-nothing" principle where nerve impulses will either stimulate all fibers of a motor unit maximally or none at all. The document outlines muscle structure including fascicles, fibers, myofibrils and sarcomeres, and explains how sarcomere contraction occurs through the sliding filament mechanism of actin and myosin. It concludes with a discussion of muscle tone and how some myosin remains attached to actin, keeping the muscle partially contracted.

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and behavioral therapies are recommended as first-line treatments for overactive bladder (OAB) according to international guidelines. PFMT involves exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and can be used alone or combined with other treatments like bladder training. Studies show PFMT reduces incontinence episodes and improves quality of life and irritative symptoms. It is considered as effective as medications with fewer side effects. Biofeedback and electrical stimulation may help when patients cannot contract muscles properly. Guidelines indicate behavioral therapies should be tried for 3 months before other options due to their effectiveness and lack of side effects.
Active Warm Up, Dynamic & Static Stretchingckeat
The document discusses different types of stretching for runners: active warm-up, dynamic stretching, and static stretching. An active warm-up involves light aerobic activity to increase heart rate and blood flow before stretching. Dynamic stretching incorporates controlled movements that mimic sport motions. Static stretching is stretching a muscle to the point of tension and holding for 10-30 seconds. The document recommends a 5-10 minute active warm-up, followed by dynamic stretching before running for improved performance, and static stretching after running to increase flexibility without impairing performance.
Interventional spine & pain management dr manish rajManish Raj
This document provides an overview of chronic pain and interventional pain management techniques. It defines chronic pain as pain that lasts more than 3 months and outlines its prevalence and impact, noting it affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. Interventional pain management aims to decrease or eliminate pain through minimally invasive techniques like injections, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord or peripheral nerve stimulation. The document reviews common causes of back pain and neck pain, as well as conditions treated by interventional techniques. It also discusses evidence-based guidelines for interventional pain management and the multidisciplinary approach needed for successful chronic pain treatment.
This document discusses sports psychology and related topics. It defines psychology as the study of the human mind and behavior. It outlines several branches of psychology including general, individual, applied, child, social, and abnormal psychology. Applied psychology is discussed in relation to preventing mental illness, childhood development, education, career choice, and solving industrial problems. Sports psychology is defined as the study of modern sports and the importance of physical education. Motivation, emotion, and their role in athletic performance are also summarized.
The document discusses different types of strength including maximal strength, explosive strength, and strength endurance. It describes maximal strength as the maximum force produced in a single muscular contraction and explosive strength as a combination of speed and strength. Strength endurance is defined as the ability to sustain muscular contractions over time. Static strength is exerting force against resistance with no movement, while dynamic strength is exerting force to cause a change in body position. Factors like muscle fiber type, cross-sectional muscle area, age, gender, and energy systems used can affect strength. The document tasks students with researching how to test for and train different types of strength.
This document discusses interventional pain management (IPM) as a specialty focused on diagnosing and treating pain through minimally invasive procedures. It provides an overview of common IPM procedures like diagnostic nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, vertebroplasty, and percutaneous discectomy. The document also presents four case studies where IPM procedures like epidurolysis, percutaneous discectomy, vertebroplasty, and radiofrequency rhizotomy successfully treated chronic pain when other options had failed. It concludes that contrary to common beliefs, over 85% of spinal pain causes can be accurately diagnosed through IPM procedures and that IPM can provide long-term relief when pharmacologic treatments and surgery are not suitable options.
The document discusses the history and concepts of periodization in physical training. It outlines that periodization originated in ancient Greece and Egypt and was used for military training and sport. It defines periodization as dividing training into periods using cycling of characteristics like endurance and strength. It analyzes the different levels of periodization from macro cycles lasting months or years down to micro cycles of a single week. Finally, it discusses applying periodization principles to develop training plans tailored for specific sports and competitive calendars.
Pain is common in elderly patients due to age-related changes in peripheral nerves and the central nervous system. Chronic pain is prevalent, with about 1 in 5 elderly patients experiencing pain for over 24 hours in the past month. Common causes of pain include arthritis, fractures, and neuropathies. Untreated pain can lead to depression, sleep disturbances, functional impairment, and reduced quality of life. Treatment involves both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, with special considerations for age-related changes impacting drug metabolism and side effects.
This document provides an overview of sport concussions including:
- The purpose is to raise awareness of concussions, decrease their number, and provide information on management and prevention.
- It discusses common signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, recovery models, return to play protocols, and neuropsychological testing.
- Key points emphasized are that concussions are serious injuries, athletes should be immediately removed from play if a concussion is suspected, and return to play decisions should not be made until cleared by a medical professional.
The document discusses understanding brain concussions, including:
- Definitions of concussion from various organizations emphasize transient symptoms rather than loss of consciousness.
- Common concussion symptoms include cognitive, emotional, and somatic complaints like headache and dizziness.
- Most individuals recover from an uncomplicated concussion within weeks, though a minority may have longer-lasting symptoms.
- Assessment and treatment focuses on the neurometabolic cascade following injury and managing recovery over time.

Concussions in high school athletes case study presentationctoney
In the Fall of 2014 I worked as as Athletic Training Student with High School athletes. During this time I evaluated a large amount of athletes with head injuries. This intrigued me to go about research on the topic of concussions.
This study investigated the role of the 5-HT2C receptor in regulating anxiety during cocaine withdrawal using mice. The mice underwent chronic binge cocaine or saline injections for 10 days. Twenty-four hours after withdrawal, mice administered the 5-HT2C antagonist SB 242084 spent more time in the open arms of an elevated plus maze, indicating reduced anxiety compared to cocaine-withdrawn mice given saline. Electrophysiology recordings found heightened inhibitory postsynaptic currents in serotonin neurons of cocaine-withdrawn mice, which was reduced by SB 242084 application. The study suggests the 5-HT2C receptor mediates increased GABA activity during withdrawal contributing to dysregulation of serotonin and dopamine systems and cocaine withdrawal-induced anxiety.
Patients with PKU are susceptible to neurocognitive and psychiatric issues even if following dietary restrictions. Assessment of patients is the first step in management, which may include strategies to improve functioning and control blood phenylalanine levels, as well as addressing any comorbid conditions. Healthcare professionals should recognize potential issues, empower patients, and refer to psychologists or psychiatrists for ongoing monitoring and intervention.
Concussions in Sports discusses concussions, which are mild traumatic brain injuries caused by impacts that cause bruising or swelling of the brain. Symptoms include headaches, memory loss, and mood changes. The NFL and NCAA are researching both short and long term effects of concussions on athletes. Rule changes have targeted helmet-to-helmet hits, and equipment is improving with new helmets reducing concussions by 10% annually. Rest is important to properly treat concussions, which usually heal within 7-10 days but can take longer for athletes.
Treatment of patients with β-Thalassaemias focuses on improving outcomes through regular blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy to remove excess iron from previous transfusions. Advances in transfusion and chelation regimens have led to significantly improved survival rates over time. Maintaining low levels of iron overload through adherence to chelation therapy and monitoring of iron levels correlates strongly with reduced complications and improved long-term survival and outcomes for patients with thalassaemia major.

Head injuries can range from minor cuts to serious conditions like concussions, contusions, hemorrhages or compression of the brain. Concussions involve temporary impairment of brain functions like thinking or vision from a blow to the head. Contusions cause bruising of the brain tissue which can lead to prolonged unconsciousness. Hemorrhages refer to bleeding within the skull from damaged blood vessels. Signs of a serious head injury include deep cuts, nausea, visual issues or unconsciousness. First aid involves protecting the airway, controlling bleeding from cuts and seeking immediate medical help.
This document provides an overview of the pharmacology of dopamine. It discusses dopamine synthesis, receptors, pathways in the brain, and the role of dopamine in conditions like Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and addiction. Dopamine is synthesized from phenylalanine and tyrosine and acts on D1-like and D2-like receptors in the mesolimbic, mesocortical, and nigrostriatal pathways. Imbalances in dopaminergic signaling are implicated in disorders such as Parkinson's, schizophrenia, and ADHD. Drugs that modify dopamine transmission are used to treat these conditions.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates cardiac, vascular and endocrine function. It was discovered in 1958 that dopamine acts as a neurotransmitter in addition to being a precursor for norepinephrine. Dopamine acts through D1 and D2 receptors in areas like the striatum, limbic system, thalamus and hypothalamus. At low doses, it increases blood flow and sodium excretion. At intermediate doses, it increases heart rate and contractility. At high doses, it causes vasoconstriction. Dopamine is used to treat cardiogenic and septic shock, and to prevent or reverse acute renal failure.
The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord. The central nervous system is so named because it integrates information it receives from, and coordinates and influences the activity of, all parts of the bodies
This document outlines topics to be covered in a session on concussions in children, including understanding the pathophysiology and symptoms of concussions, diagnostic tools, signs and symptoms, return to play requirements, and the role of assessment tools like ImPACT testing.

Interventions to Improve Cognitive Functioning After TBILoki Stormbringer
This document discusses interventions to improve cognitive functioning after traumatic brain injury (TBI). It begins by introducing a case study of a veteran experiencing cognitive issues after multiple blast exposures during deployment. It then provides an overview of TBI, noting that while injuries are acute, cognitive deficits can persist chronically and impact individuals, families, and society. It discusses the importance of recognizing and treating chronic cognitive dysfunction, and how a combination of physical and psychological trauma from combat experiences could result in a complex "combined combat neurotrauma syndrome." The document advocates considering multiple levels of brain functioning and integrating behavioral and pharmacological therapies to effectively improve post-TBI cognitive functioning.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to brain damage caused by an external force such as an impact or blast. It is a major public health problem, with road accidents being the most common cause. The mechanisms of TBI include direct impact, rapid acceleration/deceleration, penetrating injuries, and blast injuries. In the acute phase, patients are often comatose and later develop delirium. Treatment focuses on stabilizing the patient in the ICU, reducing intracranial pressure, and treating delirium and its underlying medical causes. Outcomes range from full recovery to long-term cognitive and behavioral deficits.
The document discusses facts about concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). It notes that over 1.7 million people sustain a TBI each year, including over 169,000 service members since 2000. Common signs and symptoms of a concussion or TBI include headaches, dizziness, vision changes, ringing in the ears, and problems with thinking and memory. It also discusses the risks of returning to play or activity before fully recovering from a concussion. Repeated head impacts can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The document emphasizes that awareness and proper diagnosis of TBIs is key to preventing further injury and provides several resources for more information.
Traumatic Brain Injury:From combat to reintegrationDrJenniferImig
This document discusses traumatic brain injury (TBI) in veterans and active duty soldiers. It notes that TBI is the "signature wound" of recent wars. Mild TBI is difficult to identify but can still cause long-term symptoms. Soldiers are at risk of TBI from blast injuries from IEDs and other explosions. TBI often occurs with other injuries and can cause physical, cognitive, and behavioral issues. However, the long-term symptoms reported by many soldiers may be due to multiple factors beyond just the TBI, such as PTSD, depression, and the ongoing traumatic environment of combat. Early identification and treatment as well as education about recovery can help facilitate reintegration.
Military TBI Post ; Special Focus on Military Womenjenifur1106
The document discusses traumatic brain injury (TBI) as the signature injury of recent veterans and active duty soldiers. It notes that improved body armor and field trauma care have led to more survivors of intense blasts, resulting in a high number of TBIs ranging from mild to severe. Mild TBIs may involve loss of consciousness under 1 hour or amnesia under 24 hours. Soldiers often report prolonged post-concussive symptoms despite expectations of recovery, possibly due to multiple or repeated injuries in an unsafe environment. Early identification, education on expected recovery, and proactive reintegration efforts can help ameliorate symptoms and encourage successful community reintegration.
Timothy, a high school student, presented with neck pain, headaches, sleep issues, and difficulty with video games and tests following a car accident 4 months prior. Further evaluation revealed vestibular and oculomotor dysfunction, including impaired balance with head movements and difficulty tracking objects. Occupational therapy focused on fatigue management and vestibular retraining to address lingering effects from concussion.
This document summarizes traumatic brain injury (TBI), including its causes, types, symptoms, treatment and outcomes. It discusses the epidemiology of TBI, noting it is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. It describes the two main types of TBI - open and closed head injuries. It also summarizes the potential psychiatric issues after TBI like depression, mania, psychosis, OCD, PTSD and personality changes. Finally, it discusses factors that can influence outcomes, noting that 30-35% of severe brain injury cases result in death.
What is the brain and how does it control the body ? hdjenkins1
The document discusses the brain and how it controls the body. It begins by addressing common misconceptions about the brain, such as only using 10% of it, and explains that the brain controls all bodily functions. It describes how the brain develops from conception and continues changing throughout life. The document then explains how the brain sends signals through the nervous system to control muscles and organs. It provides examples of physical and psychological disabilities caused by brain injuries or conditions in different brain regions. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of prevention through healthy lifestyle choices to avoid permanent brain damage.

Consensus Statement Version 2.0 D R A F T 12 10Andrew Cannon
The document provides guidance on sport-related concussion management for schools and youth sports leagues. It defines concussion as a complex injury to the brain caused by biomechanical forces that results in short-lived impairment of neurological function. Signs and symptoms of concussion can include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. The document recommends that any athlete showing signs of concussion should be removed from play and not return until cleared by a medical professional. It also stresses the importance of education for coaches, parents, athletes, and physicians on concussion prevention, identification, and treatment.
The document discusses the future of brain health and cognitive technologies. It describes 10 emerging brain technologies including wearables to monitor and enhance focus, meditation, and self-regulation. It also discusses electrical and magnetic brain stimulation, virtual reality treatments, brain-computer interfaces, and neuromonitoring technologies. Finally, it discusses how big data and machine learning can enhance diagnostics and treatments for various brain conditions like seizures, ALS, and more. Overall, the technologies described aim to transform brain health by enhancing functions like memory, learning, and skills training through personalized cognitive simulations and interfaces.
Towards a better understanding of early atruamatic brain injuryAlan Challoner
This document provides an overview of early atraumatic brain injury and its treatment. It discusses how brain injury can be caused by non-traumatic means such as meningitis, seizures, or toxins. The aftermath of brain injury is outlined, including cell death, swelling, reduced blood flow and metabolism. Treatment focuses on reducing excess glutamate in the brain to prevent further damage. Younger children may be more vulnerable to brain injury due to incomplete neurological development. The long term effects of early brain injury can include cognitive, behavioral, emotional and social impairments.
Neuropsychological Assessment Following Pediatric TBIcedwvugraphics
A neuropsychological evaluation comprehensively assesses cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) through tests and interviews. It is recommended for children with moderate to severe TBI to document recovery, assist with return to activities, and identify needs. The evaluation takes 6-8 hours and provides diagnoses and recommendations to guide support and interventions. While recovery varies, many children show improvement over 12-30 months as brain plasticity facilitates compensatory function.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
