About this study

This justifies the development and implementation of injury risk reduction strategies. These should be developed according to a holistic approach that considers the complex aetiology of injuries in sport. Although many different injury risk reduction strategies have been studied in sport, in general, each has been evaluated in isolation, including for example education, neuromuscular exercises, psychological techniques or individual injury risk assessment. The investigators therefore hypothesized that their combination could improve the overall effectiveness of an intervention aimed at reducing the risk of injuries in athletics.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Treatment and study plan

Normal training

Other

Athletes should continue their normal training

Specific training

Other

Athletes should consider i) watching the educational videos on injury prevention, ii) perform the neuro-muscular exercises, iii) practice the techniques against stress and anxiety, and iv) consider the injury prognostic feedback.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time (day) until the first Injury-type Complaint related to athletics and resulting in Restricted Participation in athletics (ICRP)

    Time frame: Week 14

    Time in days during which athletes are free of ICRP, between an intervention group and a control group

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of ICRP per 1000 hours of athletics practice

    Time frame: Week 14

    The number of ICRP per 1000 hours of athletics practice during a summer athletics competition season (14 weeks)

  2. Number of days with an ICRP per 1000 hours of athletics practice

    Time frame: Week 14

    Number of days with ICRP per 1000 hours of athletics practice) during a summer athletics competition season (14 weeks)

  3. Percentage of athletes with at least one ICRP

    Time frame: Week 14

    The percentage of athletes with at least one ICRP during a summer athletics competition season (14 weeks)

  4. The average percentage of athletes with at least one ICRP

    Time frame: Week 14

    The average percentage of athletes with at least one ICRP per week during a summer athletics competition season (14 weeks)
