Sports Medicine The injury scenario I have chosen to do is: * A female athlete with a fracture to the femur. 1. Classification and management of the injury.

A direct injury is caused by an external blow or force. In the case of a female athlete fracturing her femur‚ a direct injury could be the cause‚ but isn’t the most likely one. For example

Although many people like sports and watch them on television‚ few people actually have a strong pride in a team‚ or really care about how a team does on a competitive game to game basis.

The United States tried to help women gain more sports equality with the passage of the Title IX amendment in 1972. This amendment states that “no person

As George Orwell said‚ “Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred‚ jealousy‚ boastfulness‚ disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence.” In other words‚ sport isn’t just about game play anymore.

This is why it is

Improved self-esteem is another benefit of competitive youth sports. When a child wins a game with his team‚ he feels accomplished and recognized. Even when he doesn’t win‚ he can learn a valuable lesson: that you can’t win every time. Losing with his team can also increase self-esteem‚ as he learns to hold his head high and feel proud for trying his best. Participating in sports gives athletes the ability to develop tight and lasting friendships with others who have common interests. This is a valuable
