Sports Medicine 1

Pre-requisite

Algebra 2

Course description

Sports Medicine is an intense and comprehensive course of study that covers human anatomy and physiology byexamining how systems of the body interact through physical activity and inactivity. Sports Medicine willintroduce students to the profession of sports medicine and different careers that fall under the sports medicinecategory. A large portion of this class will be focused on advanced first aid; CPR; and AED skills. Students willunderstand the anatomical and physiological changes as they relate to First Aid; CPR; and AED. Students will learnbasic skills related to injury prevention; treatment; and recognition of athletic injuries. Students will engage in theapplication of practical skills including injury assessment; treatment; taping; bracing; splinting; and wound carewhich are explored and taught through a performance based approach. Students will be introduced to labexercises dealing with Human Anatomy and Human Physiology. Labs (CPR; wound care management; mechanismof injury; taping) will be incorporated to show mastery of content. The course also focuses on lab methods; criticalthinking; and communication skills needed to advance as a science major in a university. This course is forstudents interested in Biology; Medicine and its related professions such as Nursing; Physical Therapy;Occupational Therapy; and Athletic Training. Educational requirements and job responsibilities of medicalprofessional will be investigated. This course prepares students who are interested in a Health Science relatedcareer in which advanced training and a college degree is necessary. Students will also participate in an internshipwith a health care provider throughout the year to get real world experience.

†

The students complete 2.5 hours of lab†work each week. The class is 50% lab based and is an advanced anatomy/biomechanics†course. Please see the attached†course†description.†

• Anatomy Labs:†Students label the anatomical directions on a picture of the human body and develop a list of correct examples on how to use the terms; students will be graded based on a rubric. From this assignment; the students will be able to describe the exact location of potential injury in the body (students will be graded on how accurately they determine the correct location).
• †Ankle and Lower Leg
• Knee
• Shoulder
• Neck
• Elbow
• Hand/Wrist
• Hip
• Spine
• Tissue Labs:†identify and locate bony landmarks; ligament structure; and tendon pathways. Discussions will occur for students to speculate what the signs and symptoms for specific injuries look like. From this assignment; the students will be able to identify potential injury and properly employ preventative taping/bracing methods
• Special Tests for each segment†of the body and how each special test refers to the tissue type†and how it is altered when injured
• Ankle and Lower Leg
• Knee
• Shoulder
• Neck
• Elbow
• Hand/Wrist
• Hip
• Spine
• Vitals i) Identify conditions that need to stay constant to keep the body in equilibrium ii) Describe how organisms maintain stable internal conditions while living in changing external environments iii) Students will observe/analyze: (1) Change in skin color on arms and face (2) Perspiration level (3) External body temperature (4) Breathing rate (5) Heart Rate (6) Blood pressure
• 6) Cell structures and their functions a) Function b) Structure of cell and membrane
• Head/Face Lab
• Students assess motor skills by incorporating Rombergs; pupil dilation; and cranial nerve tests. Prior discussion to the lab they will theorize what information they will have based on potential results. From this assignment the students will be able to identify potential brain injury and properly employ concussion treatment protocols.
• Mechanism of Injury and Physiology Labs
• Ankle and Lower Leg
• Knee
• Shoulder
• Neck
• Elbow
• Hand/Wrist
• Hip
• Spine
• First Aid Labs
• Wound care
• Heat Illness
• Cryotherapy
• Seizures
• etc
• CPR and AED Labs
• Cardiac rhythm†
• Ventilation†
• Electrical Impulse†
• Blood Flow
• Proprioception techniques
• Various taping methods and analyzing biomechanical forces caused by each tape method
• Legal Lab
• Students†will use what they know about the anatomy and physiology of injuries to decide what is legally negligent

The†course†is recognized by all UC and CSU schools for biological sciences. Please†let me know if you have any questions or I can provide more information.†
