- Abstract
- Hospital data tells us there is a high frequency of injuries in many community sports, including Australian football, rugby and soccer (Finch et al., 2007, Cassell et al., 2012). While this data provides a useful snapshot of the most severe injuries requiring hospitalisation, they do not reflect the full extent of the injury problem in community sport. This is because the majority of sports injuries are either treated by GPs and allied health professionals outside of the hospital setting, by sports trainers at the scene of the injury, or by the athletes themselves (Finch et al., 1999).
