- Andriy, why do some players pick up injuries often while others don’t?
- I think it’s about genetics. It’s important how parents care about our health when we’re kids.
- Are there any injury prevention methods?
- There are standard procedures before every game and training session. The first stage is warm-up. Players also have taping on their lower legs. When the weather is cold they put special laying in their boots.
- Player picks up an injury and doesn’t get up. You run towards him. What do you do next?
- We must define what kind of injury he has and decide whether he can keep playing or must be substituted.
- Do doctors in sports medicine differ from regular ones?
- Medicine is the same everywhere, but we must diagnose at once. That’s very important, so one must know sports peculiarities.
