This study investigated the extent to which decisions by coaches and athletic trainers concerning the return of injured athletes to competition were influenced by the player's status and the game situation. Samples were drawn from Oregon high school and Canadian university basketball teams. Coaches and athletic trainers completed a questionnaire in which they decided whether an injured player should be returned to competition. The scenarios included winning, losing, or close games and involved a starter, first substitute, or bench player. Chi-square analyses revealed that coaches made decisions based on both a player's status and the game situation. In contrast, athletic trainers' decisions were not significantly influenced by these variables. Since the role of the coach seemingly makes it difficult to make health related decisions concerning injured players, athletic trainers should be responsible for such decisions.
本研究调查了教练和运动训练师关于受伤运动员重返比赛的决定在多大程度上受到运动员地位和比赛情况的影响。样本取自俄勒冈州的高中和加拿大的大学篮球队。教练和运动训练师完成了一份问卷，在问卷中他们要决定一名受伤的运动员是否应该重返比赛。这些场景包括赢、输或势均力敌的比赛，涉及先发球员、第一替补或板凳球员。卡方分析表明，教练的决定是基于运动员的地位和比赛情况做出的。相比之下，运动训练师的决定并未受到这些变量的显著影响。由于教练的角色似乎使得他们难以做出与受伤运动员健康相关的决定，运动训练师应该对这类决定负责。
