The Second International Conference on Prevention of Sports Injuries and XXIII National Conference of Sports Traumatology being held on the campus of Los Jeronimos Catholic University of Murcia has reached its second day.
One of the issues that have focused interest in this session is the importance of rest to avoid injuries in athletes.
An expert on the subject is Gerardo Villa, Professor of Physiology at the University of León and Professor of the Master of High Performance Sports UCAM, which is participating in the conference.
To Gerardo Villa, the problem is that a bad break affects training and vice versa, which can result in injury or reduced performance: "Those athletes who have some type of sleep deprivation affected in some skills related to strength, power, agility and coordination. This is compounded because the athlete always wants to train more and better. The exercise intensity creates some problems related to metabolism that causes sleep worse so we got into a vicious circle since if they sleep worse, not enough rest and have a lower yield generating more prone to injury. "
Sleep disturbances can occur in all types of athletes but are stronger when to do many miles, "This is accentuated in those types of athletes who have to suffer jet lag and face the jet lag periods would need to adapt to. schedules for your sleep cycles are normalized and then adapt your workouts hundred percent if they want to compete. For such situations there are possibilities to recover as best naps or the use of melatonin in the short term to favor recoveries. "
During the second session of this Congress have held several roundtables are focused on shoulder tendinopathy elbow or wrist.
In the afternoon, the conclusions of the Injury Prevention will be presented in sport and in the UCAM Sports Center some workshops will be held.
