What is an injury? An injury is a damage or change in the tissue of an organism, usually caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, etc.

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:19,480
Many injuries are produced in people who practice sports. For example, people who practice basketball are more likely to suffer from knee injuries and ankle injuries.

3
00:00:20,219 --> 00:00:22,300
Types of injuries. Muscular injuries.

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,660
Contactions. They are caused by a blow and can lead to inflammation, hematomas and pain.

5
00:00:28,660 --> 00:00:30,179
Cramps

6
00:00:30,179 --> 00:00:34,039
The muscle contracts suddenly and it shortens during some seconds.

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,100
This pain lasts some minutes.

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,640
Contractors

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,219
In this case, the muscle contraction lasts more time.

10
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:44,939
It limits the movement of the muscle and it causes a lot of pain.

11
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:46,920
Muscular tear

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,740
One or more fibers of the muscle tissue are broken and the gravity depends on the extension of the injury.

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,780
It produces a lot of pain.

14
00:00:55,780 --> 00:00:58,799
Complete Muscular Fracture

15
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:05,760
The muscle breaks completely. You can move the muscle and it produces a horrible pain.

16
00:01:06,939 --> 00:01:07,879
Tendon Injuries

17
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:08,939
Tendonitis

18
00:01:08,939 --> 00:01:11,420
In this case, the tendon swells up.

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,599
Partial Break

20
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:19,299
It is usually produced in the longest tendon and it is characterized because only a few fibers break.

21
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,799
When it's completely broken, the tendon breaks completely.

22
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,420
This usually occurs in people who practice sports.

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,900
Bone injury.

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,200
This can be just fractured with a partial or complete break of the bone.

25
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:35,099
Cartilage injury.

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,420
This one makes the joint work properly, avoiding the friction between the bones.

27
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:47,609
¿Cuáles son las lesiones más comunes en los deportistas?

28
00:01:47,609 --> 00:01:58,609
Mainly ankle sprains, in any type of sport, and ligaments of the knee, mainly.

29
00:01:58,609 --> 00:02:03,609
What kind of people do you usually work with? Adolescents, older people?

30
00:02:03,609 --> 00:02:14,610
We have both sides, young athletes and older people, from the age of 70 and up.

31
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:17,610
And what would you advise to prevent injuries?

32
00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:29,610
Mainly basic, a good diet, warm up and stretch, well warm up and stretch before, stretch after

33
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:36,610
and always very important is the cryotherapy, the ice after each training, very basic, but above all the diet too.

34
00:02:37,610 --> 00:02:42,610
Finally, would you like to tell something to teenagers about the importance of sports practice?

35
00:02:42,610 --> 00:03:02,610
Well, we always recommend that everyone does what they want, what they like, but that they practice some sport because, for example, the level of obesity has increased a lot, especially in the United States, it already has a 35% of obesity, and it is very important because we would cause more deaths a year than obesity.
