A Word from Marc:

*Sports Performance*

“This month I would like to

look at sports performance.

When an athlete wants to

improve their performance

or get ready for the season,

they will look for a sports

performance specialist. The

specialist will help the ath-

lete enhance their skills and

will assist in preparing them

for the next season. The

specialist will sit down with

the athlete and talk to them

about the sport they partici-

pate in, the position they play and what their goals are for

the upcoming season. The next step would be to test the

athlete in areas of physiological assessments, body com-

position, movement, posture, performance, speed,

strength, power and cardio-respirator assessments. After

the assessments are analyzed, a specific program for the

athlete is then created. The program would include and

address the following: flexibility, cardio, speed, agility and

quickness, balance, plyometric, resistance and Olympic/

power lifting training. Other topics that can be addressed

in sports enhancement would be injury prevention, sports

nutrition and sports psychology. If you know someone, or

you yourself are interested in sports enhancement, please

stop in and see me.”◊

How Occupational Therapy Can Help

• Cognitive screenings/assessments (SLUMS, MOCA,

Short blessed, Independent Living Scale, Allen's

Cognitive levels)

• Cognitive training for daily activities with focus on

acquiring skills or developing strategies to complete difficult tasks

• Home safety evaluations to increase independence

within the home and examine hazards to remove for

safety

• Compensatory strategies for aiding with everyday life

using technology, pillboxes, lighting and/or other

support systems tailored to the person's needs

• Provide resources to increase social interaction or

assistance within the home

• Fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, forearms, upper arms

and shoulders to recover from injuries, surgeries and

more ◊
