Exercise as a part of rehabilitation of ankle sprains

For many years the medical world has worked on the principle that “Rest is Best” when it comes to injuries. This philosophy does hold merit for some conditions (e.g. broken bones); however there is a new way of thinking when it comes to rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries.

The idea of exercising to get over an injury may be foreign to many people but it is gaining more credit as studies have shown it to be the most effective method in returning an athlete to training. The term exercise when linked with rehabilitation includes strength training, stretching, proprioceptive and balance training, power training and sport specific exercises.

Ankle sprains are among the most common sporting injuries estimated as accounting for up to 30% of all sporting injuries. They also have an extremely high occurrence rate with some experts estimating around 70%. Historically, the treatment for ankle sprains has been to rest, ice, compress and elevate (RICE) with no weight being taken through the foot for days if not weeks, until the ankle has become relatively pain free. The RICE principle is still extremely important, especially during the initial stages post-injury. The immediate aim must be to minimise swelling. Several recent articles have suggested however that physical therapy applied during the first few days post-injury improves return-to-sport time in athletes significantly. Physical therapy involves putting the ankle through its range of motion under the guidance of a health professional. Not only did the athletes who received physical therapy return to sport quicker, they also reported decreased levels of pain at set intervals post-injury when compared with those athletes who simply rested.

So what forms of exercise should be taken into consideration when rehabilitating a sprained ankle? Firstly, the ankles natural range of motion (ROM) must be restored. This is done by either actively (the patient does it themselves) or passively (someone does it for them) putting the injured ankle through that ROM. This is what physiotherapists are for. Once ROM has begun to be restored, the ankle must redevelop strength and proprioception (awareness of where the body is in space). Ligaments in the ankle are used as sensors to tell the body about its position in relation to the ground surface. When the ligaments are stretched or injured this is often lost or becomes incorrect. Therefore exercises like wobble-boards and even simply single leg balance become crucial in the rehabilitation process. Before the athlete returns to sport it is essential that sport specific exercises have been performed to ensure the athlete is fit and able to compete/train at their full potential. Sport specific activities include agility sessions where the athlete must shift their weight from side to side at pace.

So next time you sprain you ankle follow the RICE principle initially to try and minimise the inflammation however as soon as possible try and start moving your ankle to maintain its range of motion. Even something as simple as writing the alphabet in the air with your foot will go a long way to minimising your rehabilitation time.

The Effects of Alcohol on Recovery

The culture of having a beer after a footy match may well have been phased out of the elite level you will still see at any local club many players consuming alcohol immediately following a game. There is strong evidence to suggest that heavy intake of alcohol may interfere with post exercise recovery in a variety of ways.

The consumption of alcohol has been shown to significantly increase urinary losses during the post-exercise phase. The higher the alcoholic content the greater the urinary losses. When test subjects consumed alcohol as part of their post-exercise recovery they displayed close to 20% less net retention than those athletes who consumed no alcohol. During post-exercise recovery a 20% less retention of water can be extremely detrimental to an athlete, especially if they are intending on competing/training at a high level within the next 48-72 hours.

Most sporting activities are associated with muscle and soft-tissue damage, either as a result of physical activity or due to tackling and collisions in contact sports. Effectively the soft-tissue has been injured or traumatised and must heal. The standard first-aid for soft-tissue injuries is to apply vasoconstrictive techniques (rest, ice, compression, elevation). Alcohol is known to be a potent vasodilator and therefore has the potential to cause or increase undesirable swelling around damaged sites. This excess swelling and inflammation is then likely to impede the repair process.

Many experts agree however that the most detrimental effect of alcohol on athletes is loss of inhibition and impaired judgement. There are strong correlations between excess alcohol consumption and increased rates of drowning, spinal injuries, problems with recreational water activities and is a known major contributor to road accidents.

There are many issues associated with excessive consumption of alcohol post-exercise. In summary, the major impact of heavy alcohol intake post exercise is the failure of the athlete to follow guidelines for optimal recovery.

Chris Watson

Hi, my name is Chris and I’m currently in my 5th year at QUT completing a dual degree of Podiatry/Human Movements. Why the dual degree you may ask? Well when I was in grade 12 at school looking through the QTAC book podiatry caught my attention. Below the podiatry course was the dual degree and, as I’ve always been involved in sport, the Human Movements side really appealed to me.

I’ve been involved in sport my whole life. My passion really lies with Track and Field however. I started Little Athletics at age 6 and have continued to compete until just recently after having to undergo surgery in an attempt to correct an injury caused by running. Since 2004 my event has been the 400m hurdles. I have represented Queensland at schools and open nationals as well as representing Australia at the 2004 Youth Olympic Festival.

My goal whilst here on prac at Fitnance is to absorb as much knowledge and practical experience which will undoubtedly help me in the future.

Energy Drinks Pose Serious Health Risks for Young People

Energy drinks all over the world are recieving more media attention due to their high levels of caffeine. Self report surveys indicate that energy drinks are regularly consumed by 30% to 50% of children, adolescents and young adults.
Energy drinks are categorized as nutritional supplements and therefore avoid the limit of 71mg caffeine per 12 fluid ounces which the US Food and Drug Administration has set for soda. Some of these energy drinks contain as much as 75 to 400mg per container coming from additives such as guarana, kola nut, yerba mate and cocoa with addition caffeine not included in the listed total.
A study in New Zealand found that on average all children, teenagers and young men would exceed the adverse effect level of 3mg/kg per day of caffeine after consuming a single retail energy drink. The recommended daily caffeine intake of 2.5 mg/day for children and 100mg/day for adolescents.
The consumption of energy drinks posses a variety of health risks including, liver damage, kidney failure, respiratory disorders , confusion, seizures, psychotic conditions, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hypertension, heart failure and death. People with cardiac conditions, attention-deficit, hyperactivity disorder, eating disorders, those on diabetes, those taking medication or consuming alcohol are strongly advised to not consume any kind of energy drink.

TO EAT, OR NOT TO EAT BREAKFAST...

Does exercising on an empty stomach help you burn fat?
The simple answer is yes. When there are no carbohydrates from food readily available in your body to be used as fuel then your body will automatically start converting fat stores to use as energy.

Will this help you lose weight?
The ‘energy in energy out’ principle is the golden rule for weight loss. Even if you’re burning more fat during exercise but you’re consuming the same amount of energy as you normally would, you will not lose any extra weight. It doesn’t matter what type of energy you’re burning, whether it be carbohydrate or fat, but it does matter how much total energy (in kilojoules or calories) you’re burning – the more the better. If skipping breakfast makes you feel tired thereby reducing the intensity or length of your workout, then you will be burning less energy and therefore contributing less to weight loss.

Fitness Myth: A sports drink is a must have during a workout?

Proper hydration is essential during a workout however unless you are exercising at a high intensity for greater than 90 minutes water, rather than sports drinks, are the go. Sports drinks supply additional calories so they are well suited to continual bouts of exercise where the body is burning up calories. During normal training it is not necessary to replace electrolytes such as sodium and potassium as it is unlikely that these stores will be completely depleted. One occasion however, where electrolytes are important, is marathon events in extreme conditions where it may be necessary to add electrolytes to the mix.
