Abstract

As part of the Athletic Therapy programme in TUS midlands, our students obtain clinical hands-on experience through practical classes and fundamental theoretical knowledge in lectures. The Athletic Therapy students are required to be competent in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and implementation of rehabilitation programs for all musculoskeletal injuries. They are also required to understand and apply the principles of Injury Prevention in their practice. Hence, as part of the programme, our 26, Year one students undertake a module in Fitness Injury Prevention. Many different pre-habilitative principles are covered in detail such as flexibility, warm up, recovery, psychological strategies and sport nutrition. As an educator using the flipped classroom approach to this cohort, I wanted to transfer theoretical knowledge and understanding into a digital format. This allowed the students to showcase their digital skills through the translation of complex concepts into simpler, bitesize, consumer friendly theoretical knowledge in an engaging and interactive format.
