简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if a coach-focused intervention can help prevent sudden-onset, severe knee injuries in youth and senior amateur football players. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does a coach-focused intervention reduce the number of sudden-onset, severe knee injuries? Researchers will compare a coach-focused intervention, designed to help coaches to use effective injury prevention training, to usual football practice to see if the intervention can prevent sudden-onset, severe knee injuries in football players.
Participants will:
Either receive weekly information and motivation on effective injury prevention training or continue their usual football practice for 14 weeks.
All will receive a weekly text message with a survey link to report any sudden-onset knee injuries among their players for 18 weeks.
