“…Using surveys on coaching and player attitudes, Saunders et al 48 also observed that coaches and players alike would prefer to couple injury-prevention efforts with athlete performance enhancement. Coaches are concerned that their athletes may become overly fatigued if they perform an IPP before athletic events.…”

Context: Injury-prevention programs (IPPs) performed as season-long warm-ups improve injury rates, performance outcomes, and jump-landing technique. However, concerns regarding program adoption exist. Identifying the acute benefits of using an IPP compared with other warm-ups may encourage IPP adoption.Objective Intervention(s): Participants were stratified by age, sex, and sport and then were randomized into 1 protocol: IPP, SWU, or DWU. The IPP consisted of dynamic flexibility, strengthening, plyometric, and balance exercises and emphasized proper technique. The SWU consisted of jogging and lower extremity static stretching. The DWU consisted of dynamic lower extremity flexibility exercises. Participants were assessed for landing technique and performance measures immediately before (PRE) and after (POST) completing their warm-ups.Main Outcome Measure(s): One rater graded each jumplanding trial using the Landing Error Scoring System. Participants performed a vertical jump, long jump, shuttle run, and jump-landing task in randomized order. The averages of all jump-landing trials and performance variables were used to calculate 1 composite score for each variable at PRE and POST. Change scores were calculated (POST À PRE) for all measures. Separate 1-way (group) analyses of variance were conducted for each dependent variable (a , .05).Results: No differences were observed among groups for any performance measures (P . .05). The Landing Error Scoring System scores improved after the IPP (change ¼À0.40 6 1.24 errors) compared with the DWU (0.27 6 1.09 errors) and SWU (0.43 6 1.35 errors; P ¼ .04).Conclusions: An IPP did not impair sport performance and may have reduced injury risk, which supports the use of these programs before sport activity.Key Words: injury risk, knee, anterior cruciate ligament Key PointsThe injury-prevention program (IPP) demonstrated acute improvements in jump-landing technique. The IPP did not negatively affect performance variables, indicating that IPPs are as effective as a dynamic warm-up for preparing athletes for competition. The youth athletes could take generalized cues and immediately translate them into a sport-specific movement task, theoretically reducing the risk of lower extremity injury.

“…Positive key findings include significant gains in health knowledge of coaches and significant increases in children's knowledge about a range of health issues (Bapat, Jorm and Lawrence 2009;Fuller et al 2010;Glang et al 2010;Mazzer, Rickwood and Vangas 2012;Saunders et al 2010). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007) has also advocated the inclusion of sports initiatives into community tobacco control programmes.…”

“…Topics of healthy eating (Kelly et al 2010), alcohol prevention (King, Dowdall and Wagner 2010), mental health (Bapat, Jorm and Lawrence 2009;Mazzer, Rickwood and Vangas 2012), and injury protection (Glang et al 2010;Saunders et al 2010) have been the focus of health promotion efforts by sports coaches. Positive key findings include significant gains in health knowledge of coaches and significant increases in children's knowledge about a range of health issues (Bapat, Jorm and Lawrence 2009;Fuller et al 2010;Glang et al 2010;Mazzer, Rickwood and Vangas 2012;Saunders et al 2010).…”

“…Training sports coaches has previously been highlighted as an important target for health promotion (Bapat, Jorm and Lawrence 2009;Saunders et al 2010). It has however been consistently reported that coaches may not have the skills and knowledge required to help (Bapat, Jorm and Lawrence 2009;King, Dowdall and Wagner 2010;Saunders et al 2010).…”

. G. Stratton@swansea.ac.uk (01792 606544) T. A. Hilland et al. 2 Smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable morbidity and death in England, and is an addiction largely taken up in youth. Given the need for early prevention strategies, this formative study evaluated sports coaches' perceptions of a preliminary SmokeFree Sports (SFS) campaign. The research was conducted in five youth clubs with eight coaches who attended a Level 1 Brief Intervention Training workshop. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and a questionnaire assessed the impact of the Brief Intervention Training on coaches' self-efficacy to deliver smoke free messages at pre, post and follow-up. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and pen profiles were constructed to provide an overview of coaches' perspectives of SFS with regards to: a) Brief Intervention Training, b) SFS implementation and c) suggestions from improvements. One-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant increase in coaches' self-efficacy towards knowledge and delivery of smoke free messages from pre to post Brief Intervention Training that was maintained at follow-up.This formative work suggests that there is potential in educating coaches and using sports to deliver health education around smoking. Recommendations to improve the Brief Intervention Training included making it more interactive and specific with respect to sport and particular age groups. SFS could also be trialled in structured setting and with other sports. These findings will be used to inform and tailor the design and development of a larger, definitive SFS intervention.
