Abstract

Introduction: Lower limb soft tissue injury is an ever-present hazard in elite team sport. This type of injury accounted for almost half of all injuries in team sports played at the 2004 Olympic Games. The high incidence rate of non-contact lower limb soft tissue injury is also common in the sport of Australian Rules Football and accounted for almost 40% of overall injury incidence and 33% of total injury prevalence in the 2009 professional season. Attempts to identify athletes at risk of lower limb soft tissue injury have been trialed in many sports with assessment protocols such as balance and isokinetic power yielding varying degrees of success.
