Verbal or physical abuse from coaches has a negative impact on young athletes. To prevent abuse against young athletes, it is important to know the characteristics of abusive coaches. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of coaches who commit verbal or physical abuse in youth sports teams. A cross-sectional study was conducted with coaches of youth sport teams in Miyagi prefecture, Japan (n = 1,283), using a self-reported questionnaire (response rate was 24.0%). Multivariate logistic regression models were used for analyses. The prevalence of verbal and physical abuse towards young athletes was 64.7% (n = 830) and 6.2% (n = 79), respectively. Verbal abuse was significantly associated with lower educational attainment (odds ratio (OR): 1.32, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.03-1.69), experiences of verbal abuse by own coaches (OR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.37-2.50), acceptability for verbal or physical abuse (OR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.82-3.52), and dissatisfaction with athletes' attitude (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.26-2.07). Physical abuse was significantly associated with experiences of physical abuse by respondents' coaches (OR: 2.71, 95% CI: 1.50-4.92), acceptability for verbal or physical abuse (OR: 3.89, 95% CI: 2.39-6.33), and longer experience of coaching in years (OR: 2.45, 95% CI: 1.20-4.98). The results of this study show that coaches who commit verbal or physical abuse had typically experienced abuse from their former coaches, and adopted a similar style. Breaking the negative cycle of verbal and physical abuse is necessary to eliminate the abuse of young athletes.
教练的言语或身体虐待会对年轻运动员产生负面影响。为防止对年轻运动员的虐待，了解施虐教练的特征很重要。本研究旨在阐明在青少年运动队中实施言语或身体虐待的教练的特征。在日本宫城县对青少年运动队的教练进行了一项横断面研究（n = 1283），使用自我报告问卷（回复率为24.0%）。采用多变量逻辑回归模型进行分析。对年轻运动员进行言语和身体虐待的发生率分别为64.7%（n = 830）和6.2%（n = 79）。言语虐待与较低的教育程度（优势比（OR）：1.32，95%置信区间（95%CI）：1.03 - 1.69）、自身教练的言语虐待经历（OR：1.85，95%CI：1.37 - 2.50）、对言语或身体虐待的可接受性（OR：2.53，95%CI：1.82 - 3.52）以及对运动员态度的不满（OR：1.62，95%CI：1.26 - 2.07）显著相关。身体虐待与受访者教练的身体虐待经历（OR：2.71，95%CI：1.50 - 4.92）、对言语或身体虐待的可接受性（OR：3.89，95%CI：2.39 - 6.33）以及更长的教练年限（OR：2.45，95%CI：1.20 - 4.98）显著相关。本研究结果表明，实施言语或身体虐待的教练通常曾遭受过前任教练的虐待，并采用了类似的方式。打破言语和身体虐待的恶性循环对于消除对年轻运动员的虐待是必要的。
