There is growing concern in Australia and internationally about the incidence of sport-related concussion (SRC) and potential health ramifications for athletes.
If managed appropriately, most symptoms and signs of concussion resolve spontaneously. However, complications can occur, including prolonged symptoms and increased susceptibility to further injury.
西瓜影视 has developed guidelines (available below) for community football based on the Australian Concussion Guidelines for Youth and Community Sport issued by the Australian Institute of Sport.
These Guidelines recognise the important public health concerns of SRC, as related to football players of all ages, genders and levels of the sport. While recognising that there are inherent risks associated with participating in a contact sport, these Guidelines aim to reduce the risks posed by SRC through timely diagnosis, evidence-based management and return to play procedures for the protection of all players.
The Guidelines are intended to assist in the management of sports-related concussion and do not replace the need to seek medical assessment. The content of the Guidelines should not be interpreted as a guideline for clinical practice or legal standard of care.
The development and release of the FA Guidelines, GRTPPs and suite of complementary educational resources is reflective of FA鈥檚 commitment to collaborate with the Federal Government and its agencies to improve community awareness and education regarding SRC and repeated head trauma.
The FA Community Sports Related Concussion Guidelines are complemented by a series of quick reference guides available below.
