I am the use of technology to manage, deliver and improve healthcare services.
What is digital health?
I am the principle of training that states fitness improvements will be lost if training stops.
What is reversibility?
I am the first step in the TOTAPS injury assessment procedure.
What is Talk?
We are the mandatory population group studied when investigating health inequities in Year 12 HMS.
Who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples?
I am a healthcare approach that focuses on the individual's needs, preferences and values.
What is person-centred healthcare?
I allow patients in remote locations to consult healthcare professionals online.
What is telehealth?
I am an aerobic training method that combines continuous exercise with changes in intensity.
What is fartlek training?
I use water as a recovery strategy to assist physiological recovery following intense activity.
What is hydrotherapy?
I represent the average number of years a person can expect to live.
What is life expectancy?
We are the two major non-government sectors involved in providing healthcare in Australia.
What are the private and not-for-profit sectors?
I refer to the very large collections of health information used to identify patterns and improve healthcare outcomes.
What is big data?
I am an anaerobic training method consisting of short periods of maximal effort followed by recovery.
What is Sprint Interval Training (SIT)?
I refer to injuries caused by repeated stress over time rather than a single traumatic incident
What are overuse injuries?
I help explain why two groups living in the same country may experience vastly different health outcomes despite having access to the same healthcare system.
What are determinants of health?
I am often used as evidence that Australia's healthcare system is effective, yet I continue to exist among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other disadvantaged groups.
What are health inequities?
I am investigated in the HMS syllabus because I may improve diagnosis, treatment and disease management, but I can also create challenges related to cost, accessibility and equity.
What are new technologies and treatments in healthcare?
I occur when progressive overload and training thresholds are applied consistently, leading to changes such as increased stroke volume, haemoglobin levels and oxygen uptake.
What are physiological adaptations to training?
I require the athlete, coach, medical professionals and sometimes sporting organisations to share responsibility when deciding whether an athlete should return to competition.
What are return-to-play policies and procedures?
I am the process used to compare Australia's health status internationally by examining measures such as life expectancy, mortality and disease burden against similar nations.
What is comparing Australia with OECD countries?
I represent the challenge faced when increasing healthcare demands must be balanced against sustainability, access and equity.
What is health expenditure?
I create a dilemma in which improving the sharing of health information may improve patient outcomes, but may also increase concerns about personal information being accessed by others.
What is the privacy and confidentiality challenge of digital health?
I am the reason why reducing training volume while maintaining training intensity can improve competitive performance.
What is tapering?
I occur when an athlete returns to sport before adequate healing and recovery have taken place.
What is an increased risk of reinjury?
