This article describes the systematic development of an intervention for the prevention of lower extremity injuries in field hockey and the assessment of its feasibility.
The intervention was developed according to the first four steps of the intervention mapping and knowledge transfer scheme processes, mostly based on focus group interviews with experts in field hockey and injury prevention (needs assessment; objective and target groups; content selection; development). Subsequently, a quasi-experimental research (one-group post-test design) was conducted among 35 young field hockey players and 7 coaches. Participants were asked to use the intervention for 3 weeks, and the degrees of relevancy, suitability, satisfaction and usability of the intervention were assessed by means of a questionnaire and a group interview.
First, the needs assessment conducted among the main actors within recreational field hockey revealed that an injury prevention intervention was needed, ideally delivered through videos via an application for smartphone/tablet or website. Second, the objective and target groups of the intervention were defined, namely to prevent or reduce the occurrence of lower extremity injuries among both young and adult recreational field hockey players. Third, warming-up exercises were selected as preventive measures and strategies (eg, core stability, strength, coordination). Last, the 'Warming-Up Hockey' intervention was developed, consisting of a warm-up programme (delivered by coaches including more than 50 unique exercises). The relevancy, satisfaction and usability of 'Warming-Up Hockey' were positively evaluated, but two main alterations were made: the duration of the 'Warming-up Hockey' was reduced from 16 to 12 min and a match-specific warm-up was added.
The feasibility of 'Warming-Up Hockey' was positively assessed by players and coaches. Prior to its nationwide implementation, the effectiveness of the intervention on injury reduction among field hockey players should be conducted.
本文描述了一项预防曲棍球下肢损伤干预措施的系统开发及其可行性评估。
该干预措施是根据干预映射和知识转移方案流程的前四个步骤开发的，主要基于对曲棍球和损伤预防专家的焦点小组访谈（需求评估；目标和目标群体；内容选择；开发）。随后，对35名年轻曲棍球运动员和7名教练进行了准实验研究（单组后测设计）。参与者被要求使用该干预措施3周，并通过问卷调查和小组访谈评估该干预措施的相关性、适用性、满意度和可用性。
首先，在休闲曲棍球的主要参与者中进行的需求评估表明，需要一项损伤预防干预措施，理想情况下通过智能手机/平板电脑应用程序或网站上的视频提供。其次，确定了干预措施的目标和目标群体，即预防或减少年轻和成年休闲曲棍球运动员下肢损伤的发生。第三，选择热身运动作为预防措施和策略（例如，核心稳定性、力量、协调性）。最后，开发了“热身曲棍球”干预措施，包括一个热身计划（由教练提供，包括50多个独特的练习）。“热身曲棍球”的相关性、满意度和可用性得到了积极评价，但进行了两项主要改动：“热身曲棍球”的时长从16分钟减少到12分钟，并增加了针对比赛的热身。
运动员和教练对“热身曲棍球”的可行性给予了积极评价。在全国范围内实施之前，应评估该干预措施对减少曲棍球运动员损伤的有效性。
