IMPLEMENTATION OF STRENGTH TRAINING IN KINESITHERAPY OF SPORTS INJURIES

Sportske ozljede su neželjeni fenomen koji se javlja u trenucima kada ga najmanje očekujemo. Donedavno rehabilitacija sportskih ozljeda je iziskivala pasivan pristup. U novije vrijeme započelo se sa nešto aktivnijim pristupom rehabilitaciji sportskih ozljeda kroz „LOVE & PEACE“ metode. Jedna od važnih sastavnica rehabilitacije sportskih ozljeda je trening jakosti zbog mnoštva benefita koje doprinosi. No, bez obzira na vrlo kvalitetnu znanstvenu potkrijepljenost, čini se kako zastupljenost treninga jakosti u rehabilitaciji sportskih ozljeda nije na zadovoljavajućoj razini. Trening jakosti može doprinijeti mnoštvu različitih aspekata rehabilitacije sportskih ozljeda i, najvažnije, ubrzati povratak u sport. Postoje četiri osnovna principa na temelju kojih bi trening jakosti morao biti koncipiran: individualnost, specifičnost, kontinuiranost i progresivnost. Periodizacija treninga jakosti u svrhu rehabilitacije sportskih ozljeda može pratiti linearan i nelinearan pristup. Oba pristupa imaju u krajnjem cilju pretvoriti jakost u sportsku izvedbu. Kvalitetan i uspješan trening jakosti leži u manipulaciji varijabli kojima je on određen. Zaključno, proces rehabilitacije sportskih ozljeda je složeni proces koji mora sadržavati trening s vanjskim opterećenjem zbog mnogih koristi koje on donosi. Prateći novu literaturu i četiri osnovna principa plana i programa treninga, moguće je planirati uspješnu rehabilitaciju sportskih ozljeda. Daljnja istraživanja bi trebala dodatno razlučiti koje metode, vježbe, odnos varijabli je najoptimalniji, te odrediti intervale vrijednosti svake varijable i zahtjeva kako bi znali od kuda krenuti.Sport injuries are an unwanted phenomenon that seems to happen when we least expect it to. Their rehabilitation has previously been based on passive treatments, whereas today, practitioners have started using more active approach through LOVE & PEACE methods.

There are four main principle on top of which we should build our rehabilitation program: individuality, specificity, continuity and progresiveness. Periodization of rehabilitation program may resemble linear or non-linear approach, but both approaches have same goal: to transfrom the strength into sport performance. Quality and successful strength training lies in variable manipulation of which it consists. To conclude, rehabilitation process of sport injuries is a complex process that should implement strength training due to multitude of benefit sit delivers. Following the newest research and four main principles of rehabilitation program, it is possible to plan a successful rehabilitation of any sport injury. Further research should distinguish optimal methods, exercises and optimal ratio of strength training variables. Furthermore, certain starting points should be developed in order to know where to start
