Funded Activity Summary

Despite high rates of injury, there is currently no way to accurately record injuries in community sport. To address this issue an online injury tracking system has been developed for community sports clubs. This research will test the utility of this system within community Australian football clubs and compare it with other injury recording methods. With better methods of injury recording, we will improve our understanding of injury risks. In turn, this information can be used to make sport safer.
