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.
