Acute Injury Management
March 16, 2007
Nobody wants to get injured! True. And as physiotherapists we actually don’t like seeing people get injured either. But if you do get hurt, we are there to look after things the best we can so that you, or your players, can get back on the training track and then the park as soon as possible. So, if you do get injured what should you do and who should you see? Is it really possible that there is a right and wrong way to look after your injuries? And, what can go wrong if you don’t look after an injury correctly?Let’s look first at what you should do in the first few days after an injury occurs.
AFL Football Operations Rule changes
March 10, 2007
AFL Football Operations Manager Adrian Anderson said the Commission and the Laws of the Game Committee had studied detailed examinations of the trends in AFL football over the last 40 years.
“The core objective of the AFL Commission, and the Laws of the Game committee, when examining the direction of our game is to enhance and maintain the appeal of AFL football as an outstanding sport for spectators and players,” Mr Anderson said.
“Our focus is to see a more continous style of play, with less players around the ball and a reduction in the likelihood of high-impact collision injuries,” he said.
This research had shown the style of game at the elite level had continuously trended towards a greater density of players around the ball, less contested marking and less one-on-one contests.
