Sports Injuries Part II
Biomechanical factors
The muscles, tendons and ligaments can be injured when they are weak for the year (can be strengthened through resistance exercise, with progressive weights). Bones can be weakened by osteoporosis. The joints most commonly injured when the muscles and ligaments that stabilize them are weak.
The biomechanical factor that injuries occur more frequently in the foot, leg or hip is excessive pronation (turning the foot after making contact with the ground) during the race. After the pronation, the foot rolls toward the plantar side (supination), then rises on the toes before getting off the ground and move the weight toward the other foot. Pronation can help prevent injuries by distributing the force of impact with the ground. Excessive pronation can cause injury from excessive medial rotation of the lower leg, causing pain in foot, leg, hip and knee. The ankles are so flexible that, during walking or running, the arcs touch the ground causing it to seem shallow or absent. Read the rest of this entry »

Compression: By bandage, will help restore the area.
Sleep: It’s harder to regulate, but perhaps most important. The area should be without support, rest or less active as possible.
Stage 2 (3 days to 1 week)
a) Objective: Improve the range of motion. Range of motion recover after a period of discharge and rest is crucial at this time.
b) Actions:
Application of heat: Once reduced inflammation, the application of heat will improve the trophic status of the muscle, facilitating the warming of the pre-mobilization efforts.
