Introduction
This course is intended to provide the participants with the fundamental knowledge and understanding of sports injuries. The content will also include the types, risk factors, mechanisms, preventive strategies and management approaches to commonly encountered sports injuries. To complete the loop, the course will also include general principles of rehabilitation and decision making criteria for return to sport. Apart from the theoretical aspects, the course will also include practical workshops like sports taping, kinesiotaping and sports massage.
This course will also provide the students with the opportunity to understand the use of emerging technologies like Tensiomyography, NIRS and ultrasound imaging in injury prevention and management. Finally, approaches and strategies for injury prevention, epidemiological research and data analysis will be covered.
The content delivery strategies will include face-to-face interactions, group-based work, team-based learning, use of 3D apps and softwares, and hands-on skill-based workshops to facilitate learning.
The course will focus of applied learning through experiencing real-time injury cases to stimulate the theory-practice bridging of the knowledge acquired.
Learners need to complete any 3 of the following courses to attain the Graduate Certificate in Physical Activity and Health (12 AU). Upon completion of all courses, learners will fulfil the AU requirements to attain the FlexiMasters in Physical Activity and Health (16 AU).
