Why Is Athletic Training Important?
As a part of the school healthcare team, services provided by athletic
trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness
promotion and education, emergent care, examination, clinical diagnosis,
therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
Athletic trainers are trained to recognize general medical conditions,
injuries, and illnesses. They also possess the unique ability to write,
communicate, and provide emergency care, which is critical for stabilizing
an athlete before EMS arrives.
What Do Athletic Trainers Do?
Athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified healthcare professionals who
render service or treatment under the direction of, or in collaboration
with, a physician. Athletic trainers provide onsite medical coverage for
practices and games, which allows student-athletes immediate access to
care for all types of injuries.
Common duties of athletic trainers include:
Applying protective or injury-preventive devices, such as tape, bandages,
and braces
Recognizing and evaluating injuries in athletes
Providing first aid or emergency care on site
Developing and carrying out rehabilitation programs for injured athletes
Planning and implementing comprehensive programs to prevent injury and
illness among athletes
Performing administrative tasks, such as keeping records and writing reports
on injuries and treatment programs
