1 BTEC SPORTS SCIENCE Lesson 4 Paula Rafferty
SOFT TISSUE INJURIES BTEC SPORTS SCIENCE Lesson 4 Paula Rafferty

2 MUSCLE Injuries to muscle may be STRAINS PARTIAL TEARS COMPLETE TEARS
HAEMATOMA FORMATION Intra/Inter GRADED MINOR – MAJOR Often a result of poor warm-up techniques, force imbalance and/or loss of coordination.

3 STRAIN Micro tears within some fibres of muscle Bleeding minimal
Pain and Spasm localised Muscle function normal Endurance reduced

4 PARTIAL TEARS A Larger number of fibres torn over a greater area.
Muscle facia partially torn and more than one muscle may be involved Injury occurs over a greater area Torn fascia releases the blood to form an intermuscular haematoma Immediate pain and tenderness.

5 COMPLETE TEARS All muscle fibres torn and two ends of the muscle contract away Severe pain, swelling and bleeding. A snapping sound may be heard Complete loss of function Video

6 HAEMATOMA Direct impact injuries will result in muscle rupture and bleeding. Bleeding can occur -
Intramuscular Within the muscle Blood is trapped within the muscle sheath Build –up of pressure Decrease in strength and stretch = long recovery period Intermuscular Between muscles Blood can escape into surrounding tissue Less pressure in area Injury recovers much more quickly

7 STUDENT TASK 1

8 TASK 1 Excessive training or changes in schedules. Painful involuntary
Muscle Contraction Local Painful Spasm often in trapezius Bruising of muscle tissue

9 TREATMENT R I C E 48-72 hrs Avoid vigorous movements, massage and HEAT as this my cause complications. Why? Look at task 1 and does all the above apply? Discuss
