Brief of the Seminar: Everyday stretches, to improve flexibility and prevent aches and muscle strain.
Over the last decade, researchers have become increasingly interested in the psychological impact of injury and how athletes react to being hurt. This has spawned an advancement of knowledge about the psychological adjustments made by athletes during times of injury, and the subsequent impact of these on mental state and adherence to rehabilitation program. Although ideally the psychological support of injured athletes should be provided by psychology professionals, in practice it is very often administered informally by physiotherapists.
With serious injuries that are likely to result in a significant period of time out of the sport, athletes will often experience emotional disturbances. Researchers suggest that athletes often follow a five-stage process following injury, such as – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance and Reorganization.
In this presentation, Mr.Buhari and Ms.Aisha will discuss on ways to overcome factors like – Fears of re-injury, adjusting to injury, the staircase model (graded progressive exercise therapy), identifying poor adjustment, strength and power training.
