Pre-Exercise Screening for Young People

In collaboration with Sports Medicine Australia (SMA), AUSactive and Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), a team of experts and exercise professionals led by MHEX Lead (A/Prof Bonnie Furzer), developed a Pre-Exercise Screening System for Young People.

It is designed to minimise the risk of injuries associated with participating in exercise and physical activity and includes Screening Tools for both parents and young people, as well as a User Guide.
