Answer
|
|
Is an excessive loss of water
|
Dehydration
|
|
Is a condition characterised by body heat loss that far exceeds body heat gain, resulting in subnormal body temperature
|
Hypothermia
|
|
Is the displacement of a bone at a joint
|
Dislocation
|
|
Is a condition characterised by breathing difficulty where there is a reduction in the width of the airways leading to the lungs, resulting in less air being available to them
|
Asthma
|
|
Are caused by overuse of specific body regions over long periods of time
|
Overuse Injuries
|
|
Is a training technique where an athlete experiences different climatic stressors, causing physiological adaptations to occur
|
Acclimatisation
|
|
Occur when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn
|
Strains
|
|
Are caused by an external force applied to the body, such as a collision with a person or object.
|
Direct Injuries
|
|
Convection is the transfer of heat away from the skin by a moving uid such as an air current
|
Convection
|
|
Are small incomplete bone fractures caused by repeated pounding, usually on hard surfaces
|
Stress Fractures
|
|
Is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin
|
Diabetes
|
|
Refers to maintenance of a stable internal temperature independent of the temperature of the environment
|
Thermoregulation
|
|
Is a type of musculoskeletal condition in which there is deterioration in the bone structure. The bones become thin and weak, leading to an increased risk of bone fracture
|
Osteoporosis
|
|
Is a break in a bone
|
Fracture
|
|
Arise from the stretching or tearing of a ligament
|
Sprains
|
|
Is a condition in which there is an abnormally low level of haemoglobin, resulting in less oxygen being available to tissues
|
Anemia
|
|
Refers to heat loss through sweating
|
Evaporation
|
|
Are injuries to all tissue other than bones and teeth.
|
Soft Tissue Injuries
|
|
Assesses the health status of a person before they become involved in a training program
|
Pre-Screening
|
|
Are caused by an intrinsic force, that is, a force within the body.
|
Indirect Injuries
|
|
Refers to loss of heat in the form of infrared rays
|
Radiation
|
|
Cause damage to bones and teeth.
|
Hard Tissue Injuries
|
|
Transfer of heat from a body to an object by contact
|
Conduction
|
|
Is excessively high body temperature that is usually experienced in hot, humid conditions in which evaporation is unable to take place
|
Hyperthermia
|
|
Assessment of injuries
|
TOTAPS
