Study into AFLW head and knee injuries
La Trobe University researchers have partnered with the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), the AFLW and Medibank to lead a new study looking at injury rates in women’s community football throughout Victoria.
The project will be led by physiotherapists Professor Kay Crossley and researcher Ms Brooke Patterson, a former AFLW player and current development coach for Melbourne. It will evaluate rates of concussion and knee injuries in more than 3500 women and girls aged 16 and over who play Australian Rules football.
“We do not know the injury rates in women and girls playing community football,” Professor Crossley said.

Kelly Athanasopoulos says she was feeling lethargic and blobby after a few months of staying home due to COVID-19 restrictions. When this all started I didn t do anything for months, the 38-year-old mother of three says.
Kelly was playing netball once a week before coronavirus arrived, but then the season was cancelled and with prolonged restrictions in Victoria, she found herself at home a lot.
While it can be hard to exercise regularly at the best of times, this year has seen gyms close or restrict their hours, community sport put on hold, and incidental exercise disappear for those working from home.
