Tackling injuries

Scientists at the University of Oxford are investigating the link between sporting activity in young people and the development of osteoarthritis. In very active people, bony lesions can form on the hip joint (FAI) which increases their risk of developing the condition.

In this activity students design an infographic to educate their peers about FAI and its link to sport.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students can describe what FAI is and how it is linked to playing sport.

  • Students can design an infographic.
