Abstract

Players are the intended end-users of injury prevention exercise programmes, but their experiences using these programmes have not been studied in amateur football. This qualitative study employed focus groups to explore amateur male and female football players' experiences of injury prevention training and motivators and facilitators of continuous injury prevention training. Six focus group discussions were accomplished - three with male and three with female players - totalling 36 players. A semi-structured interview guide was used, and the transcripts were analysed using qualitative content analysis and an inductive approach. Three main categories were described: 'Injury insights: From neglect to active injury prevention strategies', 'Empowering players and coaches: Shared responsibility and perceived value of injury prevention training', and 'Making it work: Adding fun elements and organising effective injury prevention training'. Players described that they were mainly motivated to engage in injury prevention training when they were already injured. They recognised the coach as having the main responsibility for injury prevention, but acknowledged that they could support the coach in this work. According to players, programme exercises and set-up could be arranged to make training fun and feasible for use in the long-term; for instance, by including partner exercises, integrating exercises in the football training, and establishing routines early on. Based on these results, we could try to encourage player motivation through education, increased player autonomy, and by structuring prevention training to be perceived as fun.

如何使之发挥作用——对业余足球运动员防伤训练观点的定性研究。
球员是伤病预防训练计划的最终用户,但他们使用这些计划的经验尚未在业余足球中进行研究。本定性研究采用焦点小组法探讨业余男女足球运动员的防伤训练经历及持续防伤训练的激励因素和促进因素。共进行了六次焦点小组讨论,其中三次是男球员,三次是女球员,共36名球员。使用半结构化访谈指南,并使用定性内容分析和归纳方法分析笔录。报告描述了三个主要类别:“伤害洞察:从忽视到积极的伤害预防策略”,“授权球员和教练:分担责任和感知伤害预防训练的价值”,以及“使其有效:添加有趣的元素和组织有效的伤害预防训练”。球员们描述说,他们主要是在已经受伤的情况下才有动力参加防伤训练。他们认识到教练对预防受伤负有主要责任,但也承认他们可以在这项工作中支持教练。根据球员的意见,可以安排训练计划和设置,使训练变得有趣和可行,并长期使用;例如,在足球训练中加入伙伴练习,整合练习,并在早期建立常规。基于这些结果,我们可以尝试通过教育,增加玩家自主权,并通过构建有趣的预防训练来鼓励玩家的动机。
