Another Leap for Medical Quality Healthy Edition Summer 2002 Battling Back from Sports-Related Injuries When Somerville High School senior Jamie Osinski began experiencing a sharp pain in her lower back, she not only worried about the cause of pain but how this injury would affect her athletic future at James Madison University. A varsity gymnast and swimmer, Osinski wasn’t sure how she injured her back, but after four weeks of pain, she was ready to seek help. After an X-ray failed to reveal the cause of the pain, Osinski turned to the Rehabilitation Medicine Department at Somerset Medical Center for treatment. Currently undergoing therapy with physical therapist Sophia Kleinman, MPT, three times a week, Osinski performs exercises to improve her posture and strengthen her back and abdominal muscles. She also practices how to complete certain functional activities, such as getting in and out of bed, lifting objects and bending, without injuring her back. An anti-inflammatory medication has also been prescribed to help manage the pain. “I’m starting to feel better already,” Osinski said. “The therapists are very friendly and are flexible with scheduling therapy sessions. And, they take the time to ensure I’m not in pain while performing my exercises.”

EXERCISE INJURIES, REACTIONS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Introduction The following sections describes a number of injuries and syndromes that can befall the exerciser. While this information can be useful in determining appropriate first aid or symptomatic relief methods, it is important to be aware of the distinction between first aid and relief of symptoms vs. diagnosis and treatment. As will become evident in the sections ahead, a single symptom (such as knee pain) can have a variety of causes, many of which are not immediately obvious and require the diagnosis of a physician, who can prescribe treatment. Individuals are strongly encouraged not to use the information below to "self-diagnose", but merely as guidelines for appropriate first aid/symptomatic relief and when to see a physician. Legal Issues for the Exercise Professional Exercise professionals are strongly encouraged to refrain from the process of diagnosis and/or prescription of treatment or rehabilitative exercise. Our scope of practice is limited to encouraging rest, RICE, and a visit to the doctor. (RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.)

Drink WaterIt's COOL! During the sticky, uncomfortable "dog days" of summer, children can still participate in outdoor activities. When it is steamy outside, children need help to "keep their cool!" Information about the dangers that hot weather poses to children can help you help them safely enjoy the summer. Children are more susceptible to heat-related injuries and illnesses than adults for several reasons. Small children have more surface area on their bodies compared to their weight so they quickly absorb heat in hot weather (likewise, they quickly lose heat in cold weather). Children produce only about 40 percent as much perspiration as adults, and perspiring (sweating) is an important way the body cools itself. The efficiency of sweat evaporation, or the cooling process, is greatly affected by humidity, so heat-related injury is more likely when the humidity is high. Also, children's bodies adjust to hot conditions slowly. HEAT-RELATED INJURIES AND ILLNESSES Some heat-related injuries and illnesses to watch for are sunburn, burns from hot surfaces, dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. The last three conditionsdehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat strokecan be directly affected by the amount of fluid a child drinks, so it is important to provide children with sufficient water and other fluids. Dehydration occurs when children lose more fluid than they take in. Our bodies lose fluid each day through breathing, perspiration, and urination, and this water must be replaced continuously. During hot weather or when exercising, we perspire more and lose more fluid, so it is important to replace this by drinking extra water. Watch for early warning signals of dehydrationclumsiness, stumbling, and excessive sweatingand provide water or other fluids.

Heat Illness Allen Passerallo, ATC Heat related illness can occur in any athlete at almost anytime of the year. Heat illness is probably the most preventable sports related injury. The body's own mechanisms are used to keep the body cool during exercise in warm temperatures. When the body can not cool itself, heat illness occurs. There are three types of heat illness. Heat Cramps Caused by sweating and dehydration Symptoms include painful contractions of muscles (spasms, charlie horse) Treatment: drink plenty of fluids prior to onset of exercise, during and after exercise Heat Exhaustion Caused by overexertion sweating and dehydration Symptoms include: Profuse sweating Moist skin Headache Weakness Tiredness Glassy - eyed · Treatment Move athlete to cool - shady spot Remove excess clothing Drink plenty of water Cool skin with water or ice packs Heat Stroke Considered a Medical Emergency A progression of heat cramps and exhaustion Results from a cessation of sweating Symptoms include Hot, dry, red skin

The following are the three different types of heat injuries from minor heat cramps to major heat heat stroke. Heat Cramps Heat cramps are muscle contractions, usually in the hamstring muscles (the muscles at the back of the calves). These contraction are forceful and painful. Over exertion in sports, hiking, pushing a mower and other such activities, dehydration and poor conditioning are usually the cause of heat cramps. They usually improve with rest, following the 3 Rules of Summer, and a cool environment. Heat Exhaustion Although partly due to exhaustion and feeling like exhaustion, as the name implies heat exhaustion is also a result of excessive heat and dehydration. The signs of heat exhaustion include: Paleness, with cold sweat on the forehead. The whole body may feel cool and clammy from perspiration.

SFOR personnel informed of heat injuries By Sgt. Kerensa Hardy First published in SFOR Informer#116, June 27, 2001 Summer is officially here, although sometimes it's hard to tell because the weather changes so much. Along with summer comes the threat of hot-weather injuries. Make sure you know how to protect yourself. Camp Butmir - Although the Balkans' weather has been unpredictable and one never knows what it will be from day to day, summer is here. As SFOR personnel pull out shorts, tank tops, swimsuits and sunscreen, it's important to remember that along with the sun comes the possibility of heat-related injuries. "This region's high ambient temperatures present a significant health threat to our deployed soldiers, especially during the summer months," said American Maj. Tom Delk, Preventive Medicine Officer. As an example, Delk said temperatures have gone as high as 37 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit) in summer months - July and August. "These extreme temperatures produce undue stress on the human body, which may lead to heat injuries." Types of heat injuries There are three main types of heat injuries: heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

It may be hard to think about heat-related injuries this time of year, but that is what Fort Bragg is doing. Military leaders are concerned about ephedra. Ephedra, a dietary supplement that is commonly found in weight loss products, has been linked to heat-related injuries. Researchers have said taking the supplement can increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks and seizures. Fort Bragg is advising soldiers to tell their doctors if they are taking ephedra and to call the post dietitian for more information. Ephedra has been banned by the NFL, the NCAA and the International Olympic Committee. Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler died about a week ago, one day after collapsing at spring training with heatstroke. A medical examiner said the death may be linked to the Ephedra-based diet pill, Xenadrine RFA-1. Site map Modified 06/02/2004

Additional health hazards – heat exhaustion and even heat stroke – loom as possibilities of heat-related stress. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), nationally 21 workers died and 2,254 others experienced heat-related occupational injuries and illnesses serious enough to miss work during 2001. Essentially, the two major concerns are heat stroke, which always is a medical emergency, and heat exhaustion. But the federal agency suggests that more heat-related injuries could be going unreported, because workers and employers may be unfamiliar with the warning signs.

UConn Traditions Volume 4, Number 3 - Fall/Winter 2003 Using the practice field as a laboratory for research Casa and Armstrong gain unique access to athletes for heat and hydration research Photo: Peter Morenus New NCAA practice guidelines on heat, hydration and exercise were evaluated by UConn researchers during football practice sessions. With a swig of water to down a capsule nearly the size of a horse pill, 15 UConn football players became human subjects in a research project aimed at preventing injury and saving lives. The departments of kinesiology and UConn athletics teamed up for a heat acclimatization study, conducted this summer during the first eight days of pre-season football practice, to find out how new NCAA practice guidelines were affecting players. UConn was the only Division I-A football institution chosen for the study by the NCAA due to the reputation of the Kinesiology department's Human Performance Laboratory, which conducts research on heat, hydration, and exercise. Professors Larry Armstrong and Douglas Casa, two of the lab's primary investigators, sought the expertise and participation of UConn's Jeffrey Anderson, director of sports medicine, and Bob Howard, the football team's head athletic trainer. Head football coach Randy Edsall welcomed the research team.

Sun-Related Injuries The sun is the star of our solar system on which all life forms of our planet ultimately depend. It provides not only heat and light, but also the energy that activates the biosphere of our planet. Adequate exposure to sun is necessary for providing sufficient vitamin D to our bodies, an essential vitamin necessary in maintaining a normal body chemistry and building and preserving the strength of our bones. However, like anything else, excess of a good thing my be harmful. The following presentation is intended to offer some advice on how to avoid harm that may ensue as a result of excessive exposure to the sun, a risk particularly common in a sun-blessed area such as Southern Florida. It is also important to remember that even slight or moderate exposure to sunlight may be harmful for certain people, by virtue of their physical characteristics, health condition or medications being taken. Sunburn Sunburn is the result of overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation, a high energy radiation so strong that it easily penetrates the clouds and some of its longer waves can penetrate window glass, including car windows. Indoor tanning devices also give off ultraviolet rays that can be as harmful as those from the sun.

79. Welcome To Suburban Hospital Child athletes may be more at risk for heatrelated injuries in hot, humid conditionsbecause they differ from adults in their theromoregulatory responses to http://www.suburbanhospital.org/publications/nd_fall02/page4.htm

Keyword Search Archived Issues: Winter 2003 Fall 2003 Summer 2003 Spring 2003 ... Spring 2000 According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, approximately 6 to 8 million children and young adults between ages 6 and 21 participate in sports programs such as football, soccer, baseball, and wrestling. With the growth of these programs, sports-related injuries in young people have become common. Recent data indicate that 30% to 50% of pediatric sports injuries are due to strenuous training. In addition, as participation among young women in both scholastic and non-scholastic clubs, such as volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics, continues to increase, some family doctors are concerned that strenuous training may delay the onset of menstruation. Athletic girls tend to experience their first menstrual period at a later age than non-athletic girls. Also, secondary amenorrhea, or cessation of menstrual cycles after the first menstrual period, can occur as a result of intense athletic training. Prolonged amenorrhea may cause diminished bone mass from the decrease in estrogen secretion, increasing the risk for stress fractures and the potential for osteoporosis in adulthood. Efforts to improve nutrition or diminish training volume in these girls may aid in resuming their menstrual cycles and decreasing the risks stated above. Child athletes may be more at risk for heat-related injuries in hot, humid conditions because they differ from adults in their theromoregulatory responses to exercise in the heat. Child athletes tend to sweat less, create more heat per body mass, and acclimatize slower to warm environments. It is particularly critical that coaches, parents, and young athletes are aware of signs of heat injury such as high body temperature, dehydration, and dizziness. Recommendations include limiting sports play and training in hot, humid conditions and ensuring adequate fluid intake to prevent heat injury.
