Why saltaps should be used when an injury has occurred to an athlete?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Saltaps should be used within the first 24-48 hours to relieve the pain of the injury, to relieve swelling, and to prevent further damage to the affected area.
Stop
play:
Clear the space around the player whilst examining them, DON’T TOUCH THE INJURED PLAYER AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
Ask:
Ask the injured players questions as to where the pain is/type of pain, if they’re feeling numbness/pin and needles, or dizziness and if they’ve had a previous experienced any form of injury in that place.
Look
:
Look for visibly affected areas: swelling, bleeding, lacerations, compare to the other side, colour of the injured person’s face and consciousness/speech.
Touch
:
Make sure they’re not overheating, so check for their temperature, firmly but gently put pressure on the area leading up to the injury to check for points of tenderness, lumps/depressions,
Active
Movement
:
Check all directions of movement, if no pain check resisted movement.
Passive
Movement
:
Tests performed by professionals can gently over pressure range of movement.
Skill
: Check movement, tests are specific to the area that is injured.
Don’t over-ice, use a barrier between you and the ice, don’t keep it on for more than 15-20 minutes , it tells the white blood cells to move to the area to overheat it.
If a player fails any stage, seek referral.

Should athletes have something to fall on if they don't make it pro?
Of course! only 1 in 1000 makes it to the big time. Every athlete should have a college degree so they can have a trade if the sports thing does not work out, or if an injury causes early retirement. I actually think there used to be a rule that made it necessary for a pro athlete to have completed college, and not just for the playing experience.
