HISTORY OF BASKETBALL

P.E.

The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891

in Springfield, Massachusetts by Canadian physical education
instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than
football. The game became established fairly quickly, very popular
as the 20th century progressed, first in America and then
throughout the world. After basketball became established in
American colleges, the professional game followed; the
American National Basketball Association (NBA), established in
1949, grew to a multibillion-dollar enterprise by the end of the
century, and basketball became an integral part of American
culture.

DEFENITION OF FIRST AID

First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a
sudden illness or injury with care provided to preserve life,
prevent the condition from worsening, and/or promote recovery. It
includes initial intervention in a serious condition prior to
professional medical help being available, such as
performing CPR while awaiting an ambulance, as well as the
complete treatment of minor conditions, such as applying a
plaster to a cut. First aid is generally performed by the layperson,
with many people trained in providing basic levels of first aid, and
others willing to do so from acquired knowledge. Mental health
first aid is an extension of the concept of first aid to cover mental
health.

TREATMENT OF SPRAIN
For a Grade I sprain, follow the R.I.C.E. guidelines:

Rest your ankle by not walking on it. Limit weight bearing. ...
Ice it to keep down the swelling. ...
Compression can help control swelling as well as immobilize
and support your injury.

Elevate the foot by reclining and propping it up above the

waist or heart as needed.

TREATMENT OF STRAIN
Compression can be gently applied with an Ace or other elastic
bandage, which can both provide support and decrease swelling.
Do not wrap tightly. Elevate the injured area to decrease swelling.
Prop up a strained leg muscle while sitting, for example.

TREATMENT OF KNEE INJURY

The degree of swelling will depend on the severity of the injury.
Minor ligament sprains may cause little in the way of swelling,
whereas completely torn ligaments may lead to a lot
of knee swelling.

TREATMENT OF HEAT EXHAUSTION

1. Lower Body Temperature

Get the person out of the heat and into a cool environment.
If air-conditioning is not available, fan the person.
Spray the person with a garden hose, get him or her into a
cool shower or bath, apply cool compresses, or give the person a
cool sponge bath.
2. Rehydrate

Give cool, nonalcoholic and non-caffeinated beverages as

long as the person is alert.
3. Rest

Have the person avoid physical activity for the rest of the
day.
Give over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) if the person
has a mild headache.
4. See a Health Care Provider
Untreated heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke. See a
doctor that day if:

Symptoms get worse or last more than an hour

The person is nauseated or vomiting

TREATMENT OF FRACTURE

Keep the person still do not move them unless there is an

immediate danger, especially if you suspect fracture of the skull,
spine, ribs, pelvis or upper leg

Attend to any bleeding wounds first. Stop the bleeding by

pressing firmly on the site with a clean dressing. If a bone is
protruding, apply pressure around the edges of the wound

If bleeding is controlled, keep the wound covered with a

clean dressing

Never try to straighten broken bones

For a limb fracture, provide support and comfort such as a

pillow under the lower leg or forearm. However, do not cause
further pain or unnecessary movement of the broken bone

Apply a splint to support the limb. Splints do not have to be

professionally manufactured. Items like wooden boards and
folded magazines can work for some fractures. You should
immobilise the limb above and below the fracture

Use a sling to support an arm or collarbone fracture

Raise the fractured area if possible and apply a cold pack to

reduce swelling and pain

Stop the person from eating or drinking anything until they

are seen by a doctor, in case they will need surgery

TREATMENT OF DISLOCATION
Manipulation
In this method, your doctor will manipulate or reposition the joint back into
place. Youll be given a sedative or anesthetic to remain comfortable and
also to allow the muscles near your joint to relax, which eases the
procedure.
Immobilization
After your joint returns to its proper place, your doctor may ask you to wear
a sling, splint, or cast for several weeks. This will prevent the joint from
moving and allow the area to fully heal. The length of time your joint needs
to be immobile will vary, depending on the joint and severity of the injury.
Medication
Most of your pain should go away after the joint returns to its proper place.
However, your doctor may prescribe a pain reliever or a muscle relaxant if
youre still feeling pain.
Surgery
You will need surgery only if the dislocation damaged your nerves or blood
vessels, or if your doctor is unable to return your bones to their normal
position. Surgery may also be necessary for those who often dislocate the
same joints, such as their shoulders. To prevent redislocation, it may be
necessary to reconstruct the joint and repair any damaged structures. On
occasion, a joint has to be replaced, such as a hip replacement.

Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation begins after your doctor properly repositions or manipulates
the joint into the correct position and removes the sling or splint (if you
needed one). You and your doctor will devise a rehabilitation plan that
works for you. The goal of rehabilitation is to gradually increase the joints
strength and restore its range of motion. Remember, its important to go
slowly so you dont reinjure yourself before the recovery is complete.
