Everyone who plays football, coaches football or watches football knows the brutal punishments each player sustains for every game in the National Football League. Ironically, this occupational hazard, which is rudimentary to the game of football, is understood, especially by the players. Most of them work hard during the season, as well as the off-season, to condition their bodies to absorb vicious hits inflicted by each other. Unfortunately, there is no way to condition a human body to take multiple blows to the head, even with a thick helmet on.…
Monitoring progress through both pre-tests and post-tests is essential to an athletes recovery in order to determine if they have or have not gained the necessary fitness and skills after injury. Ongoing tests, discussions between athlete and physio, visual observations of the athlete and video footage are all means which may be used to appropriately measure the athlete’s progress. Thus, appropriate pre and post tests can significantly help trainers to evaluate and develop particular training programs that will help to athlete return to play quicker after an injury. E.g A swimmer could monitor their progress of an injured arm by measuring the range of movement pre and post training.…
The definition of death is the termination of life. The mythical character named death which acts as a personification of the taker of life and souls. It is usually represented as a walking skeleton with a mysterious black cloak, holding a scythe. He is also known as the Grim Reaper. Does this make death scary?…
Foner reveals how the definition relates to who is entitled to enjoy it or, rather, who is an American. In times of threat to national security, Americans are often willing to sacrifice some degree of personal liberty. This concept is painfully revealed at the present time in the face of Arizona's new illegal immigration policy. Freedom is also an inalienable right of all Americans. In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese-Americans were denied their freedom and civil and legal rights in the U.S. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, for instance, progressive focused on democratic citizenship and women's advance through the suffrage movement, but at the same time massive disenfranchisement of African Americans in the South and repression of racial unionists and socialists occurred.

Sports are an integral part of American culture. Throughout the year, friends and families will spend enormous amounts of time and money to gather together to eat, drink and cheer on their favorite teams. American football has been named the most watched sport in the nation and continues to grow in popularity. There is something about the thrill of watching your favorite team score touchdowns and win championship games that makes watching football a nationwide form of entertainment. Beyond all of the wins and losses however are the many injuries that often occur in every game. Broken arms, legs and shoulders are only minimal injuries compared to the, often over-looked, head injuries that happen more often than not. Even though there are protective measures taken to prevent concussions and other head injuries, many football players are still being hit so hard in every game that they may experience one or more concussions in a single game day.…
For football to be considered a semi-safe sport changes to equipment and rules needs to be changed. With all of the fear players getting injured, they must be more protected and everyone must take responsibility. For this reason the science community must come out of their shells and help keep these athletes…
Sports medicine is a lot more than people think it is. It is not just running out on the football field when someone gets injured and walking them to the sidelines and making sure they are okay, it is not just telling someone not to play a sport for a certain amount of time so that they can let their body take a rest. It is looking into the body and figuring out which muscles and bones cannot handle as much pressure and pain as the others. It is surgery and sometimes crushing people’s dreams of never being able to play their favorite sport again.…
Sports play a momentous role in the lives of so many people across the globe. While they provide exercise, excitement, and fun extracurricular activities, sports can often bring a lot of pain. It is no secret that countless people get injured from their sport several times over the course of their career. One common injury in contact sports is also one of the worst and therefore, a solution to lessen the commonness must be found and enforced. Concussions come in varying levels of “grade” and pain intensity. Some symptoms of a typical concussion are headache, confusion, and amnesia. The injury is most often produced by acceleration or deceleration of the freely moving head. Or in other words, by a traumatic hit to the head, which causes bruising…

Technology will continue to promote safety and welfare. Whether it is a helmet, software, or mouth guard technology is constantly being improved to limit the amount of players who suffer from concussions and more technology will continue to be developed as this problem is constantly a challenge in the sports world. Athletes competing at all levels including competitive, recreational, high school, college athletes, and professional are all at a risk of obtaining a concussion. A concussion is defined as “a complex pathophysiological process that affects the brain, typically induced by trauma to the brain. It can be caused either by a direct blow to the head, or an indirect blow to the body, causing neurological impairments that may resolve spontaneously” (Sports Concussion Institute, 2012).…

Finally, that's about 1.33 per team per year, no catastrophic injuries occurred, and it was rare for a permanent disability to result from any injury, and all football players are aware of Newtons First Law of Motion, the…
One of the worst things that can happen to a person as an athlete is getting an injury. This can destroy the motivation and emotions of the person that has poured there whole life into the sport just to have it stolen away from them in a brief instant. This mental and physical damage is what many athletes who get critical injuries feel once the damage has occurred.

Even though many sports differ with rules, style, and many other things injuries are all similar.…
