Sports dressing is a technical method of dressing an injured area using inelastic gauze and elastic bandages. As an auxiliary and fixation of ligaments, muscles and muscles, bandaging plays a role in preventing the recurrence of sports injuries. Even if you have been injured, bandaging can slow the injury. Bandaging is neither a drug to treat sports injuries nor a method of treating sports injuries. It is just that bandaging can reduce the degree of pain and injury and reduce the chance of injury.
Bandaging developed simultaneously with American football in the United States. At that time, sports other than American football also used other dressing methods. However, due to the harm caused by the wrong dressing method in sports, the sports dressing method of American football was finally promoted in various sports. Although the best dressing cannot completely prevent sports injuries, it is very important for athletes. In addition, even if the bandaging method is very different, fixing the injured part too tightly or too loosely may cause the opposite effect. To this end, the injury and disposal should be correctly judged, and the correct use of the bandaging method should be arranged according to the degree of operation of the exercise plan.
Bandaging is not a dogmatic application, it should be used flexibly depending on the individual. According to each athlete’s body, training situation, muscle and skin characteristics, psychological endurance, sports (for example: mountaineering, rock climbing, cross-country, equestrian, rafting……). 100 athletes will have 100 dressing methods. That is to say, a team doctor should adapt to different athletes in the use of bandages, and should deal with injured athletes on the basis of understanding the anatomical knowledge of the bandaged part, the competitive characteristics of sports, and the injury status. , Different situations, the method of dressing will not be the same. This book will introduce the basics, dressing methods and simple training of anatomical sports injuries. Readers are asked to read the book on the one hand, and on the other hand, carry out the practical operation of the bandage attentively. It is also necessary to combine the basic dressing methods, change the traction direction of the dressing, adjust the strength of the dressing and limit the range of motion according to the number and type of bandages used, and bandage the injured person according to their own judgment. To become a good player in sports bandaging, repeated practice is necessary.
The purpose and effect of bandaging
According to the competitive characteristics and technical action characteristics of each sport, determine the part that is likely to cause injury, and bandage the part to strengthen its supporting force. Produces the effect of preventing movement manipulation.
2. Prevent the recurrence of the injury
The ligaments, tendons and muscles that are sore due to the injury will be relatively weakened. Bandaging enhances its support force, reduces the burden it bears during exercise, and has the effect of preventing the recurrence of sports injuries.
For minor injuries such as sprains and strains, bandaging should be performed immediately after the injury for emergency treatment. The injured part can be immobilized to limit its movement, and the affected part can be compressed to reduce swelling, and relieve the deterioration and pain of the injury.
4. Attention after minor trauma
After minor injuries such as sprains, muscle strains, etc., be careful not to continue to increase the burden on the injured part as normal, and bandages should be used to facilitate the recovery of the injury .
