Aims

After completing this course the student is able to:

  • Distinguish and describe the different levels of injury prevention
  • Describe the pathogenesis of the key sport specific injuries
  • Recognize key information from epidemiology and risk factors of sports injuries and apply these to specific screening and training programs
  • Describe aetiology, symptomatology, and consequences of major sporting injuries within various sports disciplines
  • Evaluate and interpret athlete screening in the context of specific sports
  • Design a sport specific injury prevention program
  • Adapt training programs for the injury level of the athlete
  • Report on prevention programs and presenting it to colleagues
  • Describe and explain positive health effects of exercise and physical activity
  • Describe national and international guidelines and recommendations on sports participation and screening in clinical populations with varied cardiovascular problems
  • Estimate the health risks associated with vigorous physical exercise in various populations, and take appropriate precautions with respect to acute cardiovascular complications (clinical reasoning)

Previous knowledge

Previous knowledge:

The student has knowledge of health and pathology, functional anatomy, biomechanics, health education in sport injuries, and is familiar with the general concepts of training and exercise physiology.

 

Prerequisites credit contract:

The student is in the possession of one of the following diplomas:

  • Bachelor in Science in Physical Education and Movement Sciences
  • Bachelor in Science in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy
  • Bachelor in Science in Medicine

AND has followed or simultaneously follows these courses:

  • Health Science and Pathology (e.g. L09A1B)

1 ects. Pathology of Sports Injury Prevention (B-KUL-L07F0a)

1 ECTSDutchFormat: Lecture13 First term
Peers Koen
POC Lichamelijke opvoeding en bewegingswetenschappen

Content

This course provides an overview of general sports medical prevention and screening and the anatomopathological substrate of major sports injuries to the extremities and the spine. This means that it looks at the possible sport specific mechanisms of the injuries discussed, how these injuries are present. It also describes the (natural) evolution of the injury and the primary / secondary or tertiary prevention possibilities.

2 ects. Musculoskeletal Prevention Training (B-KUL-L07F1a)

2 ECTSDutchFormat: Lecture26 First term
Vanrenterghem Jos
POC Lichamelijke opvoeding en bewegingswetenschappen

Content

In the part ‘prevention’, the different levels of prevention and responsibilities are explained.
Furthermore, the normal movement is discussed, regarding injury prevention in a global manner, and for the lower limb and the shoulder region in particular. There is a focus on frequently occurring injuries and possible exercises on stabilization training. Finally, a number of trainings- and prevention decisions and methods are discussed from the perspective of injury prevention.

During practice, students learn to identify and interpret possible abnormalities of fellow students. They also make an assignment.

Course material

Format: more information

The course consists of both lectures and practice.
During the lectures, an interactive methodology is used.
During practice, the provided information in the lectures are practically implemented on fellow students. Additionally, the students make a group assignment where the course material is applied to a particular sport. Linked to this, they give a presentation during the final practice session.
