Describe the motivation for floorball participation, injury prevention expectations, injury risk perceptions and prevalence of health problems in youth floorball players at the start of the season.
This cross-sectional survey is part of a larger Sport Without Injury ProgrammE (SWIPE) project and provides baseline data before a cluster randomised controlled trial of an injury prevention program (Knee Control). A baseline survey (online and paper based) was collected from 47 teams with 471 youth floorball players from two provinces of Sweden before the start of the 2017 season.
The mean age for 140 females and 331 males was 13.7 (± 1.5) and 13.3 (± 1.0) years, respectively. The two most significant motivators for floorball participation were being part of the team (82% females, 75% males) and friends (65% females, 70% males). Fractures (84% females, 90% males), eye injuries (90% females, 83% males) and concussion (82% females, 83% males) were perceived as the most severe injuries. 93% of players believed that sports injuries can be prevented, while 74% believed it is unlikely that they will sustain an injury. Existing health problems at the beginning of the season were prevalent in 33% of players, with 65% being injuries and 35% illnesses. 17% of existing injuries at the start of the season caused time-loss from play and 17% required medical attention.
Social aspects were the greatest motivators for floorball participation in youths, suggesting that these factors are important to retain sports participants. The high number of health problems in youth is a concern; as such more effort, resources and priority should be given to sports safety programs. Many players believed that sports injuries can be prevented, possibly providing a fertile ground for implementation of such programs.

描述青少年地板球运动员在赛季开始时参与地板球运动的动机、预防损伤的期望、对损伤风险的认知以及健康问题的普遍性。
本横断面研究是更大规模的“无损伤运动项目”（SWIPE）项目的一部分，在一项损伤预防计划（膝关节控制）的群组随机对照试验之前，提供基线数据。在 2017 赛季开始前，从瑞典两个省的 47 个团队中收集了 471 名青少年地板球运动员的基线调查（在线和纸质）。
140 名女性和 331 名男性的平均年龄分别为 13.7（±1.5）和 13.3（±1.0）岁。参与地板球运动的两个最重要动机是成为团队的一员（82%的女性，75%的男性）和朋友（65%的女性，70%的男性）。骨折（84%的女性，90%的男性）、眼部损伤（90%的女性，83%的男性）和脑震荡（82%的女性，83%的男性）被认为是最严重的损伤。93%的运动员认为运动损伤是可以预防的，而 74%的运动员认为他们不太可能受伤。在赛季开始时，33%的运动员已经存在健康问题，其中 65%是受伤，35%是疾病。赛季开始时现有的 17%的损伤导致运动员失去比赛时间，17%需要医疗照顾。
社交方面是青少年参与地板球运动的最大动机，这表明这些因素对保持运动员参与度很重要。青少年中存在大量的健康问题令人担忧；因此，应投入更多的努力、资源和优先考虑运动安全计划。许多运动员认为运动损伤是可以预防的，这可能为实施这些计划提供了有利条件。
