Rehabilitation after Injuries of the Musculoskeletal System Sustained During Fitness Training

Abstract The relevance of this study comes from the fact that with the growing popularity of fitness training, the number of injuries is also increasing. Injuries sustained during fitness activity can result in interruptions to one's daily life, loss of income, temporary or permanent disability. Along with physical discomfort, injuries sustained during physical activity lead to post-traumatic emotional reactions, often associated with depression, tension, anger and low self-esteem. All of these factors contribute to a deterioration in the overall quality of life of people who initially strive for an active and healthy lifestyle. Therefore, this article aims to identify effective techniques for the swift recovery process following injuries sustained during fitness activities. This treatment should include not only the physical but also the psycho-emotional aspect of rehabilitation. The leading investigation approach was a comprehensive theoretical research method, which led to the development of an innovative approach to rehabilitation after fitness injuries. The uniqueness of this method is that it was both individually oriented and universally accessible, regardless of the condition of the injured person. The study presents statistics of injuries and their classification after fitness sessions describes characteristic psycho-emotional disorders associated with post-traumatic syndrome, outlines methods of rehabilitation and substantiates its use for effective comprehensive recovery of people striving to lead an active life. The materials of this article are of practical value for trainers of fitness centres of all specialisations, doctors of rehabilitation centres, family doctors, and physiotherapists, who will be able to apply this method of rehabilitation directly and thus improve the quality of life of the patient, helping them to regain an active lifestyle and restore their psycho-emotional health.
