As physical activity is such an important and enjoyable part of the lives of so many Victorians, the State Government is committed to encouraging the community to become more active, on a more regular basis. Even moderate levels of physical activity have been shown to reduce the occurrence of many chronic diseases in later life. Improving the community's health by encouraging physical activity, including participation in sport, is therefore a common objective of Smartplay's funding agencies, Sport and Recreation Victoria, Department of Human Services and VicHealth.
Unfortunately, injuries can reduce the health benefits provided by physical activity and discourage or even prevent ongoing participation. However sports related injuries should not be seen as inevitable. Through improvements in injury prevention awareness and the development of new strategies, the health, economic and social benefits - and, importantly, the enjoyment - offered by regular physical activity can be maximised.
