Responses to quiz questions will be marked as correct or incorrect by the Moodle Online Quiz System and tabulated to give your mark for each quiz. Each question will be worth 1 mark. For questions with text-based responses (e.g. fill-in-the-blank) you should take care with spelling (Australian English) and grammar, as answers are spelling and grammar sensitive.

You will be presented with a case study describing a team sport scenario. Based on the case study, you will provide written responses to the scenario which address each criteria described below:

• Summary of common injuries within the specified team sport
• Key areas of monitoring and screening within the specified team sport
• Injury prevention training program
• A plan for identifying and reporting athlete injuries
• Identify role of various specialists in care and management of athlete injuries
• A training session plan to assist an athlete’s return to play
• A discussion of factors that influence decision-making on an athlete’s readiness to return to play

Responses for each part must include a minimum of two (2) references (i.e. recent peer-reviewed journal articles, best practice recommendations, position statements, or clinical guidelines) to support and justify your written response. If appropriate, references may be used for more than one part of your written response.

Please refer to the following guidelines to assist in the completion of your case study assessment:

• Word Count: Word count limits for each part listed above will be specified in the provided case study/question document.
• Formatting: Unless noted in the case study/question document, your submission is to be double-spaced, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides, and all pages numbered consecutively. Use headings to separate the responses to each part of the assessment. Use 12-point Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font, and set the text alignment to justify.
• Title Page: A title page including the title of the assessment, student name and number, word count for each part of the written response.

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)):

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament
• Lateral Ankle Sprain
• Patellofemoral Pain
• Medial meniscus tear
• Achilles Tendinopathy

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.
• Formatting: Your submission is to be double-spaced, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides, and all pages numbered consecutively. You may use subheadings to separate sections of the Literature Review. Use 12-point Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font, and set the text alignment to justify.
• 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). Any tables/figures should be inserted directly into the main text rather than at the end of the document and should be formatted as per American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition referencing style. Information within tables/figures do not count towards word count limits.
• Referencing: American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition referencing style is to be used throughout the assessment. This include APA formatted in-text citations throughout the literature review and a full reference list provided at the end of the submission file. All reference sources must be peer-reviewed journal articles (Note: textbooks, blogs, and other online sources are not acceptable sources).
• Submission: Your Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF (.pdf) file is to be submitted via the Literature Review submission link on the ESSC12009 Moodle page. Only .doc, .docx, and .pdf formats will be accepted. You will not be able to submit other file formats. Your submission must be uploaded as a single file. In addition, files submitted via email (or any other means beyond the Moodle submission link) will not be marked.

This assessment item is linked to your attendance and participation in the compulsory on-campus activities associated with this unit. As such, you are required to attend one (1) of the timetabled on-campus residential school. Different sessions are available depending on your mode of enrolment (i.e. ROK, MIX, MKY, CNS) and you must attend the session based on your enrolment (unless arrangements have been made with Unit Coordinator). Further details regarding these sessions can be found in the Term Specific Information section of this Unit Profile, on the ESSC12009 Moodle site, and via the CQUniversity Handbook.

During the on-campus residential school you will undertake a series of practical activities, which will develop your hands-on skills related to assessing an athlete, delivering an injury prevention program, and applying appropriate taping techniques.

You will then be assessed on your practical skills during the on-campus residential school.

Attendance at the on-campus laboratory activity, with sufficient active participation, and demonstrated competencies as per the Laboratory Workbook will result in a passing grade for this assessment. Failure to attend, lack of active participation, or failed competency demonstration may result in a 'Fail' grade for this assessment item, and you will be unable to pass this unit.

There are three (3) criteria that must be met to pass this assessment item:

1. Attendance - You must attend the entire on-campus residential school. Attendance will be monitored through signing laboratory attendance sheets which will be facilitated by Exercise and Sport Sciences staff. Please note, there may be multiple attendance sheets to sign.
2. Active Participation - Exercise and Sport Sciences staff instructing each session will monitor your participation during each practical task and ensure you meet the criteria within the Laboratory Participation Checklist. To meet the criteria for ‘active participation’ you must complete each item within the Laboratory Participation Checklist, which includes completion of the Laboratory Workbook. A copy of the Laboratory Participation Checklist is available in the Laboratory Workbook which will be made available on Moodle.
3. Skill Competency - Exercise and Sport Sciences staff with knowledge and expertise in the field will use a Competency Checklist to evaluate your ability to correctly setup of equipment and participant; provide participant with instructions; and collect data. For each data collection procedure, you will need to 'Pass' the Risk Management/Safety component for each task and achieve 50% or higher on the graded component within the Competency Checklist. A copy of the Competency Checklist will be made available on Moodle. If you fail to demonstrate any of the skill competencies, you will be provided with one reattempt. The reattempt will take place on the afternoon of the final day of the residential school.

Please note:

• If you miss a session without an approved reason, it will result in a 'Fail' on this assessment item.
• If you are unable to attend one of the residential schools, and provide a valid reason with supporting documentation, then an attempt to make alternate arrangements will be made in consultation with the Deputy Dean Learning and Teaching or equivalent manager. The CQUniversity Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework) outlines acceptable reasons for adjusts to assessment.
