SECTION I. Design and Purpose of the Course

Course Design

Sports Medicine II is designed to be offered as a full year Innovative course. Each school’s individual class schedule may dictate different approaches in how and when the athletic training students receive instruction. The licensed athletic trainer will be subject to the regular teacher evaluation process (PDAS). Please plan your instruction strategies according to your school district’s expectations.

Name of innovative course(s): Sports Medicine II

PEIMS Number: N1150041

Number of credits that may be earned: Full Year (2 Semesters or One State Elective Credit)

Required Qualifications of Instructors

The course would be taught by an athletic trainer, licensed by the Texas Advisory Board of Athletic Trainers, a division of the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Each teacher of this class will complete an instructor’s course offered by the Texas State Athletic Trainers’ Association as required by the TEA for innovative courses.

Course Description

This course is designed for athletic training students. It provides an in-depth study and application of the components of sports medicine including but not limited to: basic rehabilitative techniques; therapeutic modalities; wound care, taping and bandaging techniques, prevention, recognition, and care of musculoskeletal injuries; injuries to the young athlete; drugs in sports; modern issues in sports medicine. Individualized and independent assignments will be included in this course. This course may involve outside-of-class time homework and time working with athletes and athletic teams. (The instructor may edit homework assignments for available athlete access.)

a) Suggested General Requirements

This course is recommended for students in Grades 10-12. Students must receive the approval of the Licensed Athletic Trainer supervising the athletic training program. There may be other required prerequisites for this course such as the completion of a Sports Medicine I course and/or Licensed Athletic Trainer approval.

(b) Purpose

(1) This course compliments the classroom preparation of a student wishing to work in the actual sports medicine arena, by working as an athletic training student with the various sports teams offered in high school.

(2) This course will provide an educational experience that compliments a student’s science courses in high school and further prepares them for their college course of study.

Description of the specific student needs this course is designed to meet:

There are so many facets to careers in involving the integration of medicine and physical activity that a simple health, physical education class, or that a current science course offered cannot address. Students need to be made aware of the variety of careers offered in medicine, including sports medicine, the education required, and the responsibilities involved.

This course would acknowledge student interest in medical, sports related fields of study and offer them a head start in all aspects involved, including, but not limited to: injury prevention, recognition, and care; injury evaluation; career opportunities, anatomy and physiology; psychology of sport and injured athletes; professional liability and responsibilities; budgeting issues; and facility design.

An elective advanced sports medicine class would provide a natural progression from Sports Medicine I, as well as compliment the current Health and Science courses offered, and help bridge the gap between students’ high school courses and college courses for those students that are interested in medical related careers including sports medicine, athletic training, orthopedics, and physical therapy, and others.

The extensive knowledge offered concerning anatomy/physiology, injury prevention, recognition, and care, as well as the other components of sports medicine would help provide students with valuable tools concerning the management of their own personal health and fitness care. With the increasing incidence of health care issues such as obesity, diabetes, and decreasing exercise activity, an informed society is greatly needed concerning health care and management.
