The multi-dimensional impacts of injury for women with insufficient activity levels

Introduction: Physical inactivity is a globally challenge, with a significant proportion of adults not meeting minimum recommended levels of physical activity (PA). Compared to men, women have lower rates of PA participation and experience unique barriers. Injury was recently identified as a major barrier to sport/PA participation for adults.
