    women long-distance racers were more likely to report a past history of an eating disorder than the control population and that reported in the general population. We cannot say that running was responsible for the development of the eating disorder. It may be that running can prevent or control eating disorders. High achieving, disciplined, organized women with a history of an eating disorder may be attracted to long-distance running. The method of defining a case was based simply on the respondent replying affirmatively to the questions “Do you have a history or bulimia/” and/or “Do you have a history of anorexia nervosa?” This method of case definition is based on a history of such a disorder and does not necessarily reflect an active problem.

  • The Psychological Impact of Injury on Athletes

    2839 Words  | 6 Pages

    Due to the nature of sport, athletes will always be faced with the possibility of becoming injured. Empirical research has demonstrated that injury has a psychological impact on athletes (Quinn & Fallon, 1999). Indeed, sports practitioners often witness negative psychological impacts such as depression and in extreme cases suicidal tendencies in the injured athlete (Jevon & Johnston, 2003). Injuries have a dramatic impact upon an athlete’s life (Deutsch, 1985), Crossman (1997) interviewed athletic trainers and established that 47% of respondents believed that every injured athlete suffered psychological trauma. Walker, Thatcher and Lavallee (2007), explain there is a need to advance current knowledge of the way injured athletes psychologically respond, with deeper understanding it would be possible to aid rehabilitation professionals and help the athlete cope better psychologically. Psychological issues have an important role in the athletes ability to recover from injury (Arvinen-Barrow, Penny, Hemmings, & Corr, 2010), understanding how an athlete responds will have multiple practical implications. Ford and Gordon (1997) suggest that if an athlete experiences negative emotions then it will lead to non-complinace of the rehabilitation process. In order to understand athletes psychological responses to injury several frameworks have been suggested. These include the: integrated model of response to sports injury and rehabilitation (Wiese-Bjornstal, Smith, Shaffer, & Morrey, 1998), the Bio-Psychosocial model of sport injury rehabilitation (Brewer, Andersen, & Van Raalte, 2002), the staged-based grief response models (Kubler-Ross, 1969) and the stage model of the return to sport (Taylor & Taylor, 1997).

  • The Importance Of Physical Therapy

    Patient evaluations have to happen either way, whether the client is a 75-year-old grandmother of seven with a broken hip, or a 23-year-old world-class soccer player. The patient needs to know how they are doing because their rehabilitation is always the PT’s number one priority. Documentation is perhaps even more important in a professional sports aspect because there is a lot of pressure on the player, and therefore more pressure on the physiotherapist. The PT has to make sure the athlete is getting the treatment that will help them recover quickly and ensure that the future risk of them injuring that same body part again is at a minimum. In addition, a PT’s life is much more public in a pro-sports setting. From my experience following the NBA as well as professional European league soccer, PTs have to write media reports on injured players’ conditions, after they primarily get injured as well as during their rehabilitation period. This is so the public knows what has happened to the athlete, as well as an approximation of when they will return to

The area that has been injured should have ice placed on it after the person works out or has physical therapy. Moreover, anti-inflammatory medicine is used. In order to prevent this type of energy, one should always warm up at the beginning and end of a workout. It is important to also use the right equipment (for example, using jogging shoes when one goes jogging). Exercise should not be increased more than 10 percent every week and the right technique should always be used during exercise. Conditioning is also crucial for prevention and it should occur 2-3 weeks prior to the workout. Also, if one feels pain, they should pay attention to it because it could be a sign of injury. One should also allow their injury time to heal completely.
