An Injury Prevention Programme in Physical Education Teacher Education Students: Process Evaluation Using the RE-AIM Sports Setting Matrix.

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an injury prevention programme for Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students, consisting of an injury awareness module and implementing prevention strategies during intracurricular lessons. Participants from four PETE programmes formed the intervention group ( = 4 programme directors,  = 38 sports lecturers,  = 859 students), while those from four other programmes were the controls ( = 4 programme directors,  = 34 sports lecturers,  = 721 students). Programme directors and sports lecturers received a three-hour workshop on sports injury prevention.

Risk of acute and overuse injuries in youth elite soccer players: Body size and growth matter.

Objectives: This study investigated anthropometric measures and growth as risk factors for overuse and acute injuries in younger (U10-U12) and older (U13-U15) elite level soccer players.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Methods: Height, weight, and sitting height were measured at the start and the end of the 2016-2017 competitive season and growth velocities were calculated.

Age and maturity related differences in motor coordination among male elite youth soccer players.

This study investigated differences in generic and soccer specific motor coordination, as well as speed and agility depending on age and maturity in elite youth soccer players (U10-U15, N = 619). Measurements included body height, body weight and sitting height to estimate age at peak height velocity (APHV); three Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder subtests (i.e.

Effects of a multifactorial injury prevention intervention in physical education teachers: A randomized controlled trial.

Physical education (PE) teachers are at a high risk of musculoskeletal sports or work-related injuries because of the physical activity as inherent part of their profession. Such injuries have a negative impact on work and leisure time activities, and effective injury prevention interventions are needed. The present study aimed at testing the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention that was developed and optimized according to PE teachers' wishes and values.

Musculoskeletal injuries in physical education versus non-physical education teachers: a prospective study.

Physical education (PE) teachers have a physically demanding job, putting them at a considerable risk for musculoskeletal injuries. To structurally develop tailored injury prevention programmes for PE teachers, a clear understanding of the extent, characteristics and underlying factors of their musculoskeletal injuries compared to referents is necessary. Therefore, the current study prospectively followed 103 PE teachers and 58 non-PE teachers, who registered musculoskeletal injuries and time of exposure to sports participation during one school year.

The role of hip abductor and external rotator muscle strength in the development of exertional medial tibial pain: a prospective study.

Objective: To prospectively identify proximal risk factors contributing to the development of exertional medial tibial pain (EMTP).

Methods: Data were prospectively collected on healthy female students in physical education, who were freshmen in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012. 95 female students, aged 18.
