Document Summary
One of the most important roles is to minimize activity related injury. If the risk gets too high, people wont participate. Ex: in nfl there are many injuries and they are trying to change the rules so that people can still participate in the sport and so that it decreases the risk of injury. We use the term prevention synonymously with primary prevention. How do we prevent the injuries situation from happening all. Can focus on 1 of 3 dimensions together: athlete (technique, neuromuscular function, conditioning, surroundings (floor/surface friction, rules, equipment (show friction, protective properties) Can be defined as things to protect the athlete should a potentially injurious situation arise. Release binding, helmet technology, shin pads for. Also includes training proper falling technique, conditioning to soccer/hockey, taping or bracing strengthen structures so they can tolerate increased force, etc. Going to get hit but ways to reduce injury. Focus on reducing the consequences of injury.
