# Presentation on foot injuries among sports players - 科目：雅思听力真题（Part 3） - 考频：中频 - 最近考试：2024.4.6 - 题目数：8 - 来源页：https://www.yaquan.site/paper/46e07a23-5bb8-4174-b823-62cff3e7fe5e（在线机考练习与音频请访问该页面） - 数据更新：2026-11-05 ## 题目原文 00:00:00,680 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:00:08,600 I've had a look at your draft presentation plan and compared it with mine, Cath, and we seem to have the same basic structure. We've both included the same three main sections. That's the anatomy of the foot, the injuries, and the treatment, and we've organized our presentations in the same way. But the types of sports we've chosen to illustrate the possible injuries aren't the same. 00:00:30,540 I'll deal with the anatomy bit. I've got notes and a handout on that from Professor Gilligan's lecture. 00:00:36,460 Oh, I was hoping to do that. I've downloaded some useful stuff. I do think we should limit this section, though. We don't want to spend much time on anatomy when the main focus is on the treatment. 00:00:47,920 That's true. But in the last section, maybe the two of us could show how some of these therapies actually work. I could be the patient, and you could do the treatment. 00:00:57,820 Hmm, good idea, because it's hard to find pictures, as injuries are mostly internal. 00:01:02,870 Mm-hmm. 00:01:03,580 It would be good to hear some first-hand accounts from injured athletes too. 00:01:07,880 Yeah, but we don't have time. 00:01:09,880 No. Should we then discuss different types of heel injury? It's worth pointing out that these vary enormously in how bad they are. It might be just a pulled muscle or a bone injury which needs surgery. Sometimes only an expert can tell the difference. 00:01:24,680 Excellent. I'll do the slides on that. Leave that one to me. 00:01:28,039 [chuckles] Now, what about causes of heel injuries? 00:01:31,920 Well, it's easy enough to list them: overuse, improper footwear- 00:01:36,120 Yes, um, incorrect running style. 00:01:39,020 They're all relevant, but for simplicity, let's just pick one cause. Say, stuff about changing your training habits suddenly. 00:01:47,620 You mean like suddenly doing a lot of mountain training? Yes. 00:01:51,170 Mm. 00:01:51,180 That's a good idea. And there was research on that in the latest edition of Physio Journal, wasn't there? Professor Gilligan recommended it to us. 00:01:57,980 Great. Uh, you can leave the bit on stretching techniques to me. I really like all that stuff. 00:02:04,880 So what's going to be your approach there? 00:02:07,320 Well, I'll summarize all the various techniques with visual support, and then I'll make the point that the stretching should be carefully managed. Obviously, you have to be careful not to overstretch and to stretch only when your muscles are warmed up. Otherwise, you could do yourself more harm than good. It's also important that on a supervised program, stretching is later on combined with balance exercises which stretch and also strengthen the muscles. 00:02:35,640 Okay then. 00:02:39,000 Listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:02:46,520 It's always useful to have some information on case studies at the end in case we're short of material. 00:02:52,040 Mm-hmm. 00:02:52,320 Did you manage to find anything? 00:02:54,240 Yes. A female runner in her thirties talking about her treatment for a swollen heel. Initially, she rested the injury. This did help to reduce the swelling, although it was still a little bit uncomfortable. Then she applied an ice pack to the injury twice a day. 00:03:11,580 Did that work? 00:03:12,720 Well, she persisted with this treatment for the first month but decided it wasn't helping. After this period, she was shown how to use deep tissue massage techniques and was surprised at how much freedom of movement this created in her foot. 00:03:26,840 Wasn't she having ultrasound treatment? 00:03:29,140 Yes, she was having sessions at the hospital, but she remained unconvinced about its value. She felt the same about the balancing exercises she was prescribed. 00:03:38,880 Okay, that's interesting. I looked at the aftercare program of a male sprinter who was allowed to do some sports activity as part of his rehabilitation. After four months of treatment, he did some light running on grass, wearing shoes that gave plenty of support to his injured heel. 00:03:57,420 So it didn't hurt? 00:03:59,480 Well, he found the heel was sore afterwards, and the same happened with some jumping exercises he was asked to try. 00:04:06,500 Did he go to the gym and use weights? 00:04:08,860 Yes, after a few weeks, and if he used light weights, he could train without pain. He also tried cycling and found this beneficial as his foot was not making contact with the ground. He expected a similar result with swimming but found the repetitive kicking motion was actually aggravating the injury. 00:04:27,620 Well, both these case studies have value. 00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:40,080 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 John and Cath`s presentation plans are different in 21 John and Cath`s presentation plans are different in - the examples used - the order of information - the main points made **答案**：the examples used 原文定位：we seem to have the same basic structure.
