Unit 15: Sports Injury and Assessment

About this Unit

While participation in sport and exercise activity has a lot of positive aspects, such as improving fitness levels, being involved in a social group who share common interests, etc., it also has a negative aspect in the form of potentially getting injured. This unit will identify different types of sports injuries and how they can occur. It will consider both physiological and psychological responses to injury and rehabilitation and then go on to explore the possible cause of the injury, which is called the aetiology of the injury. Once a cause has been diagnosed, ways to prevent future injuries will be examined. Finally, the unit will explore a range of treatment and rehabilitation procedures that can be considered for people who have suffered from a sport or exercise related injury.

Learning Aims

A Understand acute and overuse injuries, their associated signs and symptoms and mechanism of injury

B Examine the physiological and psychological responses to injury and rehabilitation
