Op. Dr. Osman Lapçın particularly emphasized that an athlete’s continuation of the match before his treatment or rehabilitation is completed can lead to important problems in the long term. Lapçın underlined that an athlete with a meniscus tear or anterior cruciate ligament injury would have to terminate his profession due to permanent damage that will occur as a result of neglecting this.
IF HE DOES SPORTS WHEN EXPERIENCES INJURY, IT CAN DAMAGE HIS PROFESSION
Mentioning that every branch of sports requires physical preparation activities uniquely, Op. Dr. Osman Lapçın stated that if an athlete continues to do sports even though he has an injury problem, he will harm his profession.
Mentioning that making preparations with conditioning and physical training before the match will be a precaution against possible injury risks, Osman Lapçın said, “Accepting that winning or losing can be a matter of speech will force the ends of the body and prevent injury from causing injury.” he said.
NOT FORCE THE BOUNDARIES PREVENT INJURIES
Underlining that doing sports in accordance with the rules will reduce injuries caused by double hard efforts, especially in match sports, Lapçın said, “Doing the sports in accordance with the technique will prevent injuries as it will reach the limits of the body without forcing too much. ” made a statement.
Mentioning that exertion in an unsuitable place or with unsuitable accessories will increase the risk of injury, Osman Lapçın mentioned that age and gender are also a risk-increasing factor for some injuries. Lapçın continued as follows: “Failure to comply with the rules during sports activities, going beyond the determined techniques, forcing the limits of the body because it involves racing, going to the match without the necessary physical preparation, not being mentally ready or over-conditioned, forcing the end of the body again due to social and economic expectations, or for health reasons. Neglecting your problems can lead to sports injuries.”
CARPET FIELD MATCHES INVITE INJURY
Emphasizing that sportive activities invite sports injuries just to play matches on the carpet at regular intervals for revel, without any physical preparation, Lapçın is unprepared once a year in terms of condition and muscle strength. He also pointed out that skiing can lead to serious injuries.
Osman Lapçın, who mentioned the importance of making preparations in terms of condition, muscle strength and flexibility before sports activities in order to avoid a random injury, said, “Especially, the nutrition, sleep, habits and social life of professional athletes are important for both sportive success and prevention of injuries. They need to know that you have value.” he said.
ATHLETE INJURY IS EXPERIENCED IN OTHER BRANCHES AS MUCH AS FOOTBALL
Although sports injuries seem to be more common in football because they are very visible, in branches such as basketball, taekwondo, handball, volleyball, judo and athletics. Underlining that it occurs more often, Op. Dr. Osman Lapçın continued his words as follows: “A sports injury is a situation that needs to be intervened as soon as it occurs. If necessary, the encounter should be stopped and its treatment should be done sensitively. For returning to sports after the treatment, it is necessary to work with patience and discipline until the rehabilitation and physical preparation required by that sports part is completed. This is necessary both for the health of the athlete and the athlete, and in relation to this, it is necessary for him to demonstrate the same performance and success in the long period.”
Lapçın, who specifically stated that it is wrong for an injured athlete to continue playing the match despite being injured, concluded his words as follows: “It is wrong to go to the match before the athlete’s treatment or rehabilitation is completed, before he/she is conditioned or physically ready. Presumably he will get a decent result for that match, but it will not be a sustainable success in the long term. For example, if an athlete with a meniscus tear or anterior cruciate ligament injury delays the treatment despite these problems, it will cause the meniscus tear to grow and become more complex, or if the athlete with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament neglects this, it will cause additional meniscus and cartilage damage. In this case, its performance will decrease in an area where it can be successful for many years. He may even have to end this sport due to permanent damage.”
