The Importanceof Health in Sport Bob Winnington,Commercial Manager Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Football Club
THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH IN SPORT Bob Winnington, Commercial Manager Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Football Club 9
Developing a Community Club • Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Club was formed in 1920 and has been at its current home at Silver Leys since 1963. • On a Saturday we are able to field 5 Senior Teams each playing regular league and cup fixtures whilst on a Sunday there are over 500 Mini and Youth players either training or representing the club. • Our 1st XV will normally contain 8 or more players who have come through the club from Minis level and our other 4 senior sides are principally made up of home grown players. • This makes us all aware of the contribution the club makes to the local community and to our dependence on the support of individuals and local businesses. How the club has grown over the last 88 years!
Physiotherapist’s Role • Some clubs remain advocates of the “bucket and sponge” approach but B.S.R.F.C. has taken a strategic decision to employ a Senior Chartered Physiotherapist for the past 5 years. • Our present physiotherapist, Julie Wright, has intermediate and advanced sports aid skills through specialised training. • Julie’s role covers:- • Medical welfare of all players • First Aider • Treatment of injuries – on/off pitch • Return to play • Prevention of injuries • Prevention of re-occurrence • Advice and education • Legal Responsibility
Rugby Injuries • 1 in 8 chance at club level • 1 in 4 at international level • 72% in CONTACT • 51% in TACKLE situation • Average of 18 days absence • 19% of calendar year absent • Most occur during final quarter • Last season, 24% occurred during training at B.S.R.F.C.! This resulted in 24 days absent
Most Common Injuries Injuries resulting in most lost time
Why Injury Prevention is important • Team Remains intact • Player Morale • Continuous season means player and team improve over season. Injured players may set whole team strategy back • Treatment and time costs! • Players and support staff are less likely to leave the sport prematurely • Lifts team morale KICK INJURIES INTO TOUCH!
How do we prevent injuries? • Team involvement • WARM UP and COOL DOWN • Training • Position specific drills and conditioning • Strength and Reaction • Technique • Flexibility • Hydration and nutrition • Listen to your body! This is not exclusive to rugby! It is important for all general and reactive skills. The fitter people are the less likely they will be injured! 15
Preparation Pre-Season Training! 16
Nutrition • Readily available energy for quicker recovery and protection of joints and muscles from injury • Ensures body performs at best • Avoid high fat pre and post exercise • ½ food intake should come from carbohydrates – potatoes, pasta, bananas etc • Increase intake of carbohydrate foods 2-3 days before game • Ensure 15% of diet is protein – eggs, fish, meat etc • Manage alcohol intake and timing! All our 1st Team players are given advice and guidance on their diets and are actively encouraged to maintain a strict personal programme to reach peak fitness. 17
Water Did you know? • Your body is 60% water • If you are thirsty you are dehydrated • Performance decreases if by 25% when you dehydrate • You lose 1-2 litres of water every hour in a light training session!! Remaining Hydrated is essential for high performance and prevention of injuries. So we ensure our players ……. • Drink plenty of water each + every day & make it a habit • Start hydrated • Keep water levels up all week • Have a sports drink 2-3 hours pre game + 10-20mins post game Get water On Board Quickly+ as oftenas possible during a game or training session. Only you can ensure you are hydrated properly!!
Conclusions • The health of players is important for 7 days a week not just a Saturday or Sunday! • Notwithstanding the fact we are not a professional club, we put the health and safety of our players top of our priority list. • This is relevant to not just the 1st team but throughout the club to our newest Under 7 recruits! • Awareness of injuries and injury prevention is key. • Nutrition and the importance of water are paramount. • However, the club cannot monitor every player across its senior, youth and mini sides; it is the Individuals’ responsibility! The fitter people are the less likely they will be injured! 19
