The present investigation was intended to evaluate the effectiveness of a course on health and the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in future professional musicians, specifically designed for superior-grade students at the High Conservatory of Music of Salamanca, Spain.
Students were taught how to evaluate the possible risks associated with the practice of their instruments. They were provided with information about the most frequent medical problems of musicians, warm-up habits, postural hygiene, effective prevention strategies, and different treatment options for these pathologies. The students were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (n=56) who did not take the course and was evaluated with a questionnaire at the beginning of the academic year and 1 year later, and an experimental group (n=90) who did take the course and was evaluated with three questionnaires (at the beginning of the course, 6 months later, and 12 months after the start of the course).
While the students in the experimental group improved their body awareness by 91% and the frequency of their injuries decreased by 78%, there was no improvement in the students from the control group at the end of the experiment.
The results of our study have demonstrated the effectiveness of this type of course and show that such courses should be included in the academic curriculum of superior conservatories.
本研究旨在评估一门针对未来职业音乐家的健康与预防肌肉骨骼损伤课程的有效性，该课程专为西班牙萨拉曼卡高等音乐学院的高年级学生设计。
教导学生如何评估与乐器练习相关的潜在风险。向他们提供有关音乐家最常见的医疗问题、热身习惯、姿势卫生、有效预防策略以及这些病症的不同治疗选择的信息。学生被随机分为两组：对照组（n = 56）未参加该课程，在学年开始时和1年后通过问卷进行评估；实验组（n = 90）参加了该课程，并通过三份问卷进行评估（课程开始时、6个月后以及课程开始后12个月）。
实验组学生的身体意识提高了91%，受伤频率降低了78%，而对照组学生在实验结束时没有改善。
我们的研究结果证明了这类课程的有效性，并表明此类课程应纳入高等音乐学院的学术课程中。
