Document Summary
This gives us the first idea of what tissue they have hurt/damaged: knowing injury mechanisms is also crucial for injury prevention (what to change, what to control for, etc. ) Occur due to repetitive microtraumas, lack of rest, etc: overuse injuries are may be a result of training too much, too quickly. Injury mechanisms for acl injury as an example: acl = main supporting ligament of the knee joint, direct contact = direct blow to the lower extremity (thigh, knee or lower leg) of the injured player. If we stop tensile force before yeild point, tissue will return to normal position: stiffness: ability of a tissue to resist a load. If this process continues, the ability of the tissue to repair can be exceeded resulting in an overuse injury with symptoms: when acute injuries are serious enough, the pain and damage is so serious, so usually stop training.
