Introduction
Sports Medicine Austrlia is a body that provides prevention of injuries and diseases through the use of sport based sciences and sport medicines. Sports Medicine Australia "is widely acknowledged internationally as the world’s leading multi-disciplinary sports medicine body"(SMA,2016). Through the practices and courses offered, management and prevention of injuries is at the centre of this organisation.
Being able to manage and prevent injury is the sole task of a sports trainer. Their inclusion alongside sports fields and in the mix of the majority of sporting events is both essential and benificial to the athletes competing. The role of the sports trainer in a game is to assist at before, during and after. A sports trainers task can vary from as little as applying ice to applying correct methods to an unconscious patient to save their life.
