Sports Medicine: Understanding Sports Injuries

Previous injury, fatigue or poor movement skills are just some of the factors that can contribute to an injury. Understanding how to manage these and how best to prepare your body for your sport will be key if you want to perform at your best in training and in competition. In this course, Physiotherapists Dr Jill Cook, Dr Ebonie Rio, Dr Sean Docking and Dr Mick Girdwood from La Trobe University in Australia, explore why injuries happen and what steps you can take to minimise the risk of them happening.
