4.5 Injury Prevention Fact Sheets<br />
<strong>Sport</strong> and Recreation Victoria (SRV) have<br />
developed a series of facts sheets on<br />
preventing injury in particular sports. These<br />
fact sheets are based on a series of sports<br />
injury prevention countermeasure reviews<br />
undertaken by Monash University Accident<br />
Research Centre and Deakin University<br />
School of Human Movement and were<br />
supported by grants from <strong>Sport</strong> and<br />
Recreation Victoria. The fact sheets, which<br />
have been distributed to the relevant <strong>Victorian</strong><br />
sports associations, deliver information in a<br />
useful format to participants.<br />
Each fact sheet identifies strategies which will<br />
minimise the risk of injury for that particular<br />
sporting activity. Strategies include use of<br />
protective equipment, modification of rules<br />
