What should be documented before and after practice for injured athletes?

The documentation of weight before and after practice for injured athletes is important for several reasons. Monitoring an athlete's weight can provide insights into hydration levels and overall health status. Changes in weight may indicate dehydration, which can impact an athlete’s recovery and performance. For athletes recovering from an injury, maintaining proper hydration and nutrition is vital for healing. Weight fluctuations may also help coaches and trainers assess whether the athlete is returning to their pre-injury condition effectively.

While injury history and daily treatments are also important aspects of an injured athlete's care, they do not directly relate to the immediate monitoring of an athlete’s physical well-being before and after practice sessions. Game strategies are not relevant in this specific context as they do not pertain to the health monitoring of the athlete. Therefore, tracking weight is a crucial practice for managing and supporting the recovery of injured athletes effectively.
