The Effect of Rehabilitative Exercises Using the (CRYO) Cooling Device and the Aqueous Medium on the Hamstring Injury According to the Range of Motion and Some Physical Abilities of the Handball Players

Abstract

Rehabilitation exercises are one of the most common methods in rehabilitating injured players. These exercises lead to many effects on an athlete’s body such as speeding up the drainage of blood pools, preventing hemorrhage, and accelerating the recovery of joints and their return to the internal joint.

     Hamstring injury is considered as one of the injuries that occur in the game of handball .It also needs rehabilitation whether it is through exercise or by medical therapeutic means. Rehabilitation should depend on scientific ways in using suitable rehabilitation exercises. It also depends on the using of devices and tests in order  to know the level of progress in the qualification .The researcher uses a rehabilitative curriculum . A proposal that includes a CRYO and intra-aqueous exercises to rehabilitate the knee-joint after an injury.

    The study aims to prepare rehabilitative exercises by using CRYO device and aqueous medium in rehabilitative hamstring inflammation injury of the posterior hamstring handball players . It also aims to identify the effect of the rehabilitation approach in the hamstring injury for players of  handball game . It aims to recognize the differences between the results of the pre-intermediate and post-tests  of the variables .

     The researcher used the experimental method and designed one experimental group of same size pre , intermediate . and post-term due to its suitability . The experiment depends on the application of the qualifying program CRYO .The researcher used the method of rehabilitative exercises within the aquatic environment . Measurements were repeated four weeks after the implementation of the program . And after four weeks it was conducted .

    The results were treated statistically by using SPSS .The researcher reaches to certain conclusions : The rehabilitation program has a major role in increasing the range of motion and muscle strength for the players . The individuals of the research sample has a positive effect on the development and improvement of knee . CRYO program contributes in reducing pain and eliminating swelling in injured players . The use of different stresses inside the water which positively affected the relief of pain resulting from the injury ..
