“…The majority (78.3%) of SCCs seem to understand the concept that severe muscle soreness is not a desired outcome of hard training. Severe muscle soreness usually leads to rhabdomyolysis and is associated with an exercise intensity or volume that far exceeds the athletes' level of fitness (3,15). As previously discussed, if work/rest ratios and exercise intensity is unmatched with the athlete's fitness level, the risk for all medical emergencies increases.…”

“…E xertional heat stroke (EHS) deaths are preventable and the strength and conditioning coach (SCC), the professional responsible for implementing and supervising strength and conditioning programs, may be held responsible if EHS deaths occur as a result of inappropriate exercise prescription or monitoring programs (3). Mueller and Colgate (14) in their survey of football injuries reported 132 EHS deaths from 1960 to 2011; a rate of 2.5 deaths per year.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess and determine content knowledge of National Collegiate Athletic Association Strength and Conditioning Coaches (SCCs) regarding prevention and recognition of exertional heat stroke (EHS) and to determine whether the type of professional certification is an indicator of enhanced content knowledge. A questionnaire was e-mailed to 1305 SCCs and was used to assess SCC's EHS knowledge in the areas of extrinsic risk factors (ERF), intrinsic risk factors (IRF), recognition of EHS (R), and general training safety knowledge (TSK). The 319 SCC participants who responded were separated into 4 groups based on certification: Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS) (116), Strength and Conditioning Coach Certification (SCCC) (46), combined CSCS/SCCC (62), or no certification (NC) (95). Only 2.2% of the total coaches surveyed scored ≥90% on the total score, whereas 47% earned a score ≤59%. When comparing across certifications, NC scored significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) on total score, and the IRF and TSK constructs than CSCS, SCCC, and CSCS/SCCC. CSCS/SCCC coaches performed significantly better on the total score than SCCC (p = 0.047), whereas a trend toward a higher score (p = 0.085) was seen in CSCS compared with SCCC. CSCS coaches and the combined CSCS/SCCC certifications scored significantly higher (p < 0.000) than NC in the ERF and R constructs. In conclusion, SCCs seemed to lack essential knowledge to prevent or recognize EHS in each of the factors assessed. It is recommended that consideration be given to include EHS prevention and recognition competencies as part of the professional preparation and certification requirements for SCCs.

“…For nearly 4 decades, a number of medical organizations have formalized the preparticipation physical examination (PPE). [5][6][7] The PPE is intended to identify areas of concern in the athlete's health that could contribute to impaired function during participation in sports. This formal process creates a base framework for the work of all health care providers.…”

Objective: To present the appropriate medical care standards for organizations that sponsor athletic activities for secondary school-aged athletes.Data Sources: To develop the current standards and identify current best-practices evidence, the task force used a multistep process that included reviewing the existing 2004 Appropriate Medical Care for Secondary School-Aged Athletes consensus points and cross-referencing of National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) statements and official documents from the strategic alliance (the NATA, NATA Foundation, Board of Certification, and Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education). Gaps in the recommendations from the 2004 Appropriate Medical Care for Secondary School-Aged Athletes document were identified by the task force, and the new appropriate medical care standards were developed and refined.Conclusions and Recommendations: Twelve standards, with supporting substandards, were developed that encompassed readiness to participate in activity; facilities; equipment; protective materials; environmental policies; nutrition, hydration, and dietary supplementation; wellness and long-term health; comprehensive emergency action plans; on-site immediate care; on-site therapeutic interventions; psychological concerns; and athletic health care administration. Collectively, these standards describe a comprehensive approach to providing appropriate health care to secondary school-aged athletes and should serve as a framework with which organizations can evaluate and improve the medical care supplied to adolescent athletes.
