Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness and knowledge of professional team sport athletes about ACL injuries, injury prevention programs, and the return to sports after ACL injuries. A total of 419 athletes representing soccer, basketball, volleyball and handball sports were included in the study. We utilized a 15-item self-report survey to assess the awareness of athletes about ACL injury, ACL injury prevention program, and return to sport after ACL injuries. Male and soccer players participated in prevention programs more than female athletes (p = 0.001). Participation in prevention programs was significantly higher in the ≥ 18 years old group than in the < 18 years old group (p = 0.040). Participants who were informed about ACL injuries were 8.4 times more likely to participate in the ACL injuries prevention program than others (OR: 8.38, 95% CI: 3.823-18.376, p < 0.001). The majority of participants believed that return to sport after ACL injury takes 6 months and 81.4% of them thought that it is not possible to do sport without an ACL. This study revealed that the awareness and performance of ACL prevention training programs among professional team sport athletes were insufficient. The athletes\' knowledge regarding return to sports after ACL injuries was also inadequate. Improving athletes\' knowledge of ACL injuries may lead to increased participation in ACL injury prevention programs. Thus, the provision of tailored educational interventions to athletes could potentially enhance their awareness and understanding of ACL injuries, consequently contributing towards the prevention of such injuries.
摘要:
这项研究的目的是评估专业团队运动运动员对ACL损伤的认识和知识,伤害预防计划,ACL受伤后恢复运动。共有419名运动员代表足球,篮球,这项研究包括排球和手球运动。我们利用15项自我报告调查来评估运动员对ACL损伤的认识,ACL损伤预防计划,并在ACL受伤后恢复运动。男性和足球运动员参加预防计划的人数多于女性运动员(p=0.001)。≥18岁组的参与预防计划明显高于<18岁组(p=0.040)。被告知ACL损伤的参与者参与ACL损伤预防计划的可能性是其他人的8.4倍(OR:8.38,95%CI:3.823-18.376,p<0.001)。大多数参与者认为,ACL受伤后恢复运动需要6个月,其中81.4%的人认为没有ACL就不可能进行运动。这项研究表明,职业团体运动运动员对ACL预防训练计划的认识和表现不足。运动员关于ACL受伤后重返运动的知识也不足。提高运动员对ACL损伤的认识可能会增加对ACL损伤预防计划的参与。因此,为运动员提供量身定制的教育干预措施可能会增强他们对ACL损伤的认识和理解,因此有助于预防这种伤害。
