Pre-hospital care for various types of injuries

Modern sport is very close to injuries, which can put an athlete out of the state of high sports training for some time. In the event of an injury, the correct provision of pre-hospital care in different sports is of great importance, depending on the injury sustained. The first aid for sports injuries should be aimed primarily at reducing pain and reducing the development of swelling. Therefore, it is imperative to fix the injured limb. The arm should be suspended or bandaged to the chest with aids such as a scarf or belt. In case of injuries to the lower extremities, the leg is covered with soft objects and left in the position it is in. If there is a wound on the injured area, a sterile dressing should be applied, and in case of severe bleeding, jute should be applied. The injured person is immediately taken to hospital. Thanks to the analysis of research by domestic scientists, it is possible to identify different types of injuries that athletes face in individual and team sports. It is also possible to track the system of effective first aid methods. Knowledge of the theory and methodology of sports training, hygienic requirements for facilities, athlete's equipment, rest criteria, physiology of the body's functioning in different power zones at different stages of training is of great importance in preventing injuries during training sessions and during the competition period. Timely qualified first aid in case of injuries makes it possible to shorten the athlete's stay in hospital, reduce the duration of rehabilitation measures and accelerate the return to training sessions at the stage of physical preparation.
