Towards a national sports safety strategy: addressing facilitators and barriers towards safety guideline uptake: Table 1

Abstract

The primary outcome will be evidence-based prevention guidelines that are fully supported by a comprehensively evaluated dissemination plan. The plan will detail the support structures and add-ons necessary to ensure sustainability and subsequent national implementation. Research outcomes will include new knowledge about how sports safety policy is set, how consensus is reached among sports safety experts in the community setting and how evidence-based safety guidelines are best developed, packaged and disseminated to community sport.

Injury reporting via SMS text messaging in community sport

“…Each club was randomly selected from a pool of 22 community Australian football clubs concurrently involved in a larger injury prevention project 22. At a club training session prior to the start of the football season, the research team provided players with information about the study and gave players the opportunity to ask questions before obtaining written informed consent.…”

Applying implementation science to sports injury prevention

“…To illustrate the relevance of these implementation drivers to a sports injury prevention intervention, table 1 shows how they could be applied to planning the delivery of a neuromuscular training programme to prevent lower limb injuries in community Australian Football 19…”

Evaluation of how different implementation strategies of an injury prevention programme (FIFA 11+) impact team adherence and injury risk in Canadian female youth football players: a cluster-randomised trial

“…The success of delivering an injury prevention programme implemented through an unsupervised approach (ie, website delivery only) has not been evaluated previously. Injury prevention of football-related injuries through extensive coach education was successfully implemented in a countrywide campaign in Switzerland,11 but there are no prospective intervention studies evaluating different coach education or team implementation strategies in maximising team and player adherence and ultimately reducing injury risk in youth football or in any other sport 13. Furthermore, the added effect of a programme delivery, specifically involving regular follow-ups with coaches and players on the field to ensure proper execution and progression of exercises, has not been examined previously.…”
