Abstract

The evolution of high-performance athletes in Olympic events is characterised by greater precision in movement execution. At the same time, competitive performance in all events requires athletes to push their bio-psycho-motor potential to the limits of the human body. On the one hand, this is necessary for achieving excellence; on the other hand, athletes are exposed to various risky movements, especially in contact, high-technical-difficulty, or team events, where, unfortunately, multiple types of traumatic incidents may occur. In both situations, the therapeutic effect of kinesitherapy is crucial in helping the athlete regain function in affected segments and conditions, restore optimal functionality, and ensure complete recovery. The situation becomes much more complex when injuries such as sprains, fractures, or other motor impairments occur, requiring immediate, prompt, and correct kinesitherapeutic intervention. In this context, the present study aims to illustrate the most effective kinesitherapeutic approaches to physical rehabilitation for athletes in various Olympic events, with the aim of immediately addressing functional deficits and returning them to the arena. The specific objectives focus on describing the essential methods of physical rehabilitation and on developing and improving kinetic techniques for the recovery of athletes' upper and lower limbs. Thus, the study proposes an improved methodology for the physical rehabilitation system for high-performance athletes by applying therapeutic methods efficiently and effectively.
