Essential General Medical Knowledge as an Athletic Sports Student

As a track and field student, it is important to know some basic medical facts. Here are some suggestions:

1. Nutritional Supplementation: Make sure your diet contains adequate nutrients, especially protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. If additional nutritional supplementation is needed, consider using a multivitamin or specific vitamin and mineral supplements.

2. INJURY PREVENTION: Warm up and stretch properly before exercise to minimize the risk of muscle and joint injuries. If injured, stop training immediately and seek medical help.

3. Management of common injuries: For some common sports injuries such as sprains, strains, and muscle pain, learn how to take care of yourself. For example, for sprains, hot and cold compresses can be used to reduce pain and swelling, while strains can be relieved by rest, cold compresses and compression.

4. Medication use: Learn how to properly use medications, especially prescription and over-the-counter medications. For prescription drugs, they must be used according to the doctor's instructions, while over-the-counter drugs can be used according to the drug instructions. However, care should be taken not to overuse medicines and a doctor should be consulted before using any medicine.

5. Emergency management: Know how to deal with emergencies such as broken bones, breathing problems or sudden fainting. Know how to use the equipment in the first aid kit and know how to seek emergency medical help if necessary.

In summary, track and field athletic students need to know the basics of medicine to stay healthy and safe while effectively dealing with common athletic injuries and emergencies.
