Persuasive Speech About Sports Medicine

But you shouldn’t wear helmets because you're not always going to get hurt on your head you can have other injuries like your arm,leg,knee,elbow,and ect. The only reason why people wear headgear because if you had a soccer game and it went bad because you had a concussion and the next time you have a game than you think that you’re going to get hurt and then they hesitate and get worried. there’s no need to wear a headgear when it causes you to much trouble. Concussion and repeated heading are two separate entities. People think it’s the same place.

This is because of the strain athletes physiologically obtain . Many don 't realize that an athlete missing one game is better than an athlete absent for the rest of the season. From a logical perspective, it would be wise to restrain an athlete from continuing the game until proper medical analysis is implied.

Many athletes in the moment take this injury lightly which leads to reinjures in a short time span. Most people feel that they 're fine and are ready to get back into sports the following week after a concussion, which does no good for you and just leads to me damage. A mild concussion can sometimes be the worst because people feel fine and have little to no symptoms which are very common with a mild concussion. They think that since they don 't have many symptoms they 're healed and are eagerly ready to go back to playing, that is usually when most severe concussions happen. Being educated in concussions should be required just strictly based how common they are.

“Do we value entertainment more than health and safety? Is competition more important to us than compassion and public service?” (pg. 24) People who dedicate their lives to save and protect us should get more appreciation than they do compared to the athletes that just entertain us. If you were sick and needed a nurse to tend to your needs wouldn’t you think that was more important than watching a sport on your TV? If you decided to become an athlete and got hurt nurses and doctors would be the ones to help you get better.

Midshaft femur fractures with other fractures on the same limb are also contraindicated, as mentioned previously this can twist the bone and result in further injury. Patients with pelvic bone injuries are not allowed to have traction splints applied to them; there is a large amount of blood loss with pelvic fractures and by applying a traction splint there will be movement that will result in more blood loss. It is also very important to assess the patient’s neurovascular before and after splinting the extremity, this is to know if there are any injuries to the nervous within the

The matter is very serious and impacting the lives of many athletes around the world. Concussions are nothing to take lightly, brain damage not only sidelines you from the game, but may also sideline you from specific activities, or daily tasks. Researchers are examining equipment in order to find out whether or not they are eligible to design a high quality helmet in order to protect the head from a high speed impact. The more force that the helmet can absorb, the less impact the brain will withstand when the hit is given

However, these injuries heal eventually with time and rest. They may set an athlete on the side lines for a period of their season (or in worst case scenarios a large chunk of their career), but these injuries more often than not result in a recovery and a glorious return to the playing field. While a concussion is very similar to these physical injuries in the sense that it requires time and rest to recover and will set an athlete out for a portion of his or her season (assuming an appropriate amount of time is given for the brain to heal), it differs from most physical injuries from the stand point that it has possible long term cognitive effects if repeated concussions are obtained. Obviously, dying or paralysis is the worst case scenario for a person who has received brain trauma. However, athletes that have sustained three or more concussions over a life-time have been proven to likely have long-term cognitive impairment, emotional struggles, and a general decrease in the overall quality of life.

Taking Away Sports is Unnecessary There is a large controversy on whether or not sports are too dangerous for us to play. On one side of this dispute contains doctors and concerned citizens while the other side includes sports fanatics as well as coaching staffs. Personally, I believe that athletes know the risk that they are taking when they participate in athletics. I think taking away sports would not only cause a rise in obesity, but I think that it would also take away the many values that are taught through sports. I realize that with sports come injuries, but I think that this problem lies within coaches’ training programs.

Many more programs and facilities have been created in our country, and for the most part our growth has been in the right direction, yet this is an unnecessary step back. The banning of youth heading should be revoked because concussions are frequent in many more ways, this rule can later lead to more severe concussions, and the growth of soccer in the United States will be halted. In order to actually solve the problem of heading in youth soccer, as a collective unit we need to improve the coaching and teaching of headers whether it be from your team practice or extra time at home. This will help prevent concussions as well as maintain or improve the overall abilites of our young

A concussion is considered one of the most complex injuries in the sport for the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment. Athletic trainers must understand that concussion causes ultrastructural changes in the brain and that these changes are not large enough to be visible on neuroimaging such as an MRI or CT scan (Khurana, Kaye, 2012). Athletes who sustain a concussion are three to six times more likely to sustain a second concussion. As an athletic trainer, physician, or other medical professional, understanding this statistics and previous history of concussions is very important information to decrease the likelihood of concussions (Khurana, Kaye,
