General Information

Overview

This unit provides an introduction to common injuries that occur in sports. You will learn about mechanisms and risk factors of various sports injuries, injury prevention and rehabilitation processes and interventions, and how these apply to different athlete populations and training scenarios. Emphasis is placed on providing an understanding of the aetiology, treatment and prevention, and acute management of common sports injuries. You will also gain practical skills in sports taping techniques, delivery of injury prevention programs, assessing and monitoring injury risk factors, and assessing return to sport. The content of this unit builds on knowledge gained in other units related to anatomy and physiology, functional anatomy, and physical activity, health, and fitness.

2 Written Assessment

Assessment Title
Literature Review

Task Description

Literature reviews are important contributions to science. They provide a concise summary of what is currently known about a topic. The purpose of this literature review is for you to summarise the existing scientific literature related to a specific sport injury. For this assessment you will select one (1) of the sporting injuries listed below and summarise recent literature pertaining to your selected injury.


Sporting Injuries (select one (1)):

  • Patellofemoral Pain
  • Lateral Ankle Sprain
  • Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy
  • Superior Labrum Anterior To Posterior (SLAP) Lesion
Your review is to provide an overview of the injury, followed by a detailed review of the literature including the epidemiology, mechanisms (i.e. aetiology), and risk factors of the selected injury, as well as current evidence for injury prevention, treatment strategies, and return to play for the selected injury. A minimum of 15 peer-reviewed journal articles are to be used effectively within your literature review. Effective use of the journal articles includes accurate interpretation of the information provided in journal article and appropriate application of the information in the context of the review. Journal articles should provide the most recent evidence pertaining to the chosen injury and therefore it is recommended you focus on journal articles published within last 15 years; however, some older journal articles providing important discoveries pertaining to your selected injury may be used in your review.


Please refer to the following guidelines to assist in the completion of your literature review:

  • Word Count: 1500-2000 (excluding title page, tables/figures, and reference list). Please note, this word count is strict and additional words beyond 2000 will not be read/marked.

  • Title Page: A title page including the title of the review, student name and number, word count, and number of tables/figures.
  • Tables and Figures: Maximum of 2 tables and figures (combined total).

Academic Integrity Statement

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.

Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.

When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.

Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.

As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.

What is a breach of academic integrity?

A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.

Why is academic integrity important?

A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.

Where can I get assistance?

For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.

What can you do to act with integrity?
