Which of the following would not be recommended to minimize the risk of stress fracture and promote recovery?
a. Ensure old injuries have been fully rehabilitated.
b. Enhance muscle strength around chronically loaded bones.
c. Increase training intensity or alterations gradually over a period of two to four weeks.
d. Maintain a minimum of 1000 mg/day dietary calcium and 800 IU/day vitamin D.
b.enhance muscle strength around chronically loaded bones.
this option will not be recommended to minimize the risk of stress fracture and promote recovery because the main points that has to be followed to minimise the risk of stress fracture are :
1 c.Increase training intensity or alterations gradually over a period of two to four weeks.
certain sports can cause stress fracture , stress fractures are common among people that play high end sports like table tennis, football etc..increased activiy can cause stress fractures. a sudden change from a simple still life to an active life can cause stress fracture due to the frequency timing duration and intentsity of the activity.
2. d.Maintain a minimum of 1000 mg/day dietary calcium and 800 IU/day vitamin D
.eating disorders and lack of vitamin D and calcium can caus the bines to be less stronger which will thereby cause stress fractures.
3a. Ensure old injuries have been fully rehabilitated
.more the number of stress fractures taken place in the past can be a reason for more stress fractures to occur.
