Athletes and Infections

I'm a sportsman, I'm like Iron This is the Virus!

WHY SPORTS HAVE MORE RISKS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY MUCH FOR INFECTION DISEASE.

  • Living conditions ; Use of common material such as large number of people, travels, same environment or toothbrush, razor blade
  • High-risk behaviors for infections; unsafe sex, steroid use, injuries
  • Intense physical exercise;The scientific findings show that it affects high levels and also the immune system. In contrast to moderate physical activity (30-45 min. Activity), heavy activity (> 90 min. Activity) is thought to suppress the immune system and increase the sensitivity to infections, especially in the upper respiratory tract and skin infections. is defined for elite athletes engaged in exercise and / or marathon-type activities.

Especially in winter; Between September and April and with heavy workouts, insomnia, race stress, poor nutrition, travel and increased risk of colds and flu..

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE HIGH RESPIRATORY ROUTE INFECTIONS WITH NEZLE (COOL PERCEPTION)?

Flu and flu are two different tables. Cold; a marked nasal discharge, eyes wilting, a slight fever, sometimes with a slight malaise, a severe weakness in the flu, marked joint muscle aches and malaise, severe headaches and high fever. On the other hand, there is no obvious runny nose like flu. Cold; More than 200 viruses and the flu are upper respiratory tract infections caused by a single virus. A person can pass the flu several times in the same year, although it can pass the flu only Unlike nezleden, influenza, people who are at risk, it can be fatally turning into heavy zattürre. no such vaccine is available for colds. In both diseases, it can be transmitted by direct and non-direct contact with the mouth and nose secretions of the infected individuals or by direct contact with the wipes or surfaces in which these secretions are transmitted. Some influenza factors can survive for 2-4 hours in the external environment. At the time, the general body resistance in protection of high health rules to prevent transmission Alışkanlık good living habits”Is gaining importance.

These can be summarized as follows: *

  • avoid
  • avoid contact with other people and relax if possible
  • coughing, sneezing, closing our mouth and nose
  • Throw away the tissues we use, throwing them into closed boxes
  • not to take our hands, mouth, nose and eyes
  • cleaning your hands frequently with alcohol-based hand antiseptics in the absence of water and soap
  • apply rules for keeping general resistance high, such as good sleep and quality nutrition

These rules are not only the most effective living habits of these two diseases, but also the prevention of many other infectious diseases.

After the development of the disease, vitamins taken, herbal teas have not been shown to have any benefit. In both diseases, it is not useful to use ğı antibiotics Her as well as numerous damages. However, if there are signs of rest, especially fever and muscle-joint pain, resting, abundant fluid intake, throat gargles, antipyretics and nasal opening drops or sprays can be used. If there is no fever and / or joint-muscle pain, mild-to-moderate trainings can be sustained. However, within the first two days of the disease, after a cold-flu separation, a doctor's recommendation should be initiated.

Blood-borne agents include hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and HIV. Among them, HBV is the highest risk of transmission.

All three factors are transmitted by blood and sexual intercourse. 90-95% effective for HBV, and the vaccine recommended for everyone immediately after birth is the most effective protection. For all these factors common material, especially razor blade, nail clippers, such as avoiding the use of cutting tools, open wounds immediately closed, personal hygiene attention Cleaning of blood-contaminated media with alcohol or better (1:10) bleach with appropriate dilution, safe (using condom) sex and training are the most important measures.

Personal hygiene and good nutrition, the most effective in protecting all infections

are the measures.

As it is known that the most important way of transmission of infections is direct or indirect contact with the infected person; personal hygiene; "Sharing" (towels, water bottles, cutter-piercing tools), “Skin damage“(cut, graze, wound)    , ”Close contactÖnlem three potential risk mitigation measures.

Good nutrition and iron, zinc, copper, selenium, vitamins A, B6, C and E, vitamins and minerals are essential for the, optimal 6 functioning of the immune system. Taking these vitamins and mineral supplements does not increase immunity above normal. However, during heavy training which lasts longer than 90 minutes, it is thought that the consumption of a typical sports drink with carbohydrate, 1 lt / hour, will eliminate the negative effects of the immune system. In the presence of active disease symptoms, the isolation of the football players must be ensured. In addition, each footballer or coach must have wound care training in order to prevent blood-borne factors during injuries.

Vaccination is the most effective means of protection for vaccine-preventable diseases. In addition, considering the frequency of domestic and international travel of football players, all football players, tetanus, pertussis, measles, rubella, mumps, polio vaccines need to be reviewed in terms of vaccines. vaccine should be encouraged. The hepatitis A vaccine prior to travel to developing countries, according to the characteristics of the region; rabies, cholera, typhoid fever, yellow fever vaccines, medication protection for malaria should be taken into consideration.Also, during travels to the developing region or countries; training for diarrhea and fly-insect stings is important. For food-water-borne and diarrhea factors; “Cook”,” , Nat boil insideDır rule should be applied in addition to general precautions, which may be caused by fly-insect stings, for malaria and for hemorrhagic fever, the use of insecticide, especially those that do not leave arms and legs exposed.

Rapid identification, appropriate treatment and preventive measures of infections are necessary for the health and success of the whole team as well as for the individual health and success of a football player.
