Albury hamstring injury research

3 MARCH 2015

Charles Sturt University (CSU) research needs volunteers with and without hamstring injuries in the Albury area. Mr Luke Donnan, lecturer in podiatry at the CSU School of Community Health in Albury-Wodonga, is investigating what causes hamstring injuries and seeks approximately 30 male volunteers aged 18 to 35 who played at least one competitive game of Australian Rules Football (AFL) in the 2014 season. "I need 15 players who injured a hamstring during the 2014 season, as well as players with no injuries," Mr Donnan said. "I am not necessarily after superstars or elite athletes; fit senior or reserve grade players will be more than adequate for my research. Players will undergo 3D motion analysis, assessment of muscle activity, and will be monitored for levels of fatigue." Mr Donnan will gather data from volunteers during March 2015, including evenings and weekends, and is happy to work around individual availability. All the data collection will happen at CSU in Albury-Wodonga, so Border region residents are preferred. Volunteers are assured of a solid fitness session, as part of data collection, in the lead up to the 2015 season. Potential volunteers can contact Mr Donnan on (02) 6051 9258 or email ldonnan@csu.edu.au
