The purpose of this study was to identify the injury surveillance practices being used in competitive swimming environments. It explored the nature of the data collected, the injury definitions used and the perceived effectiveness of injury surveillance. Finally, this study also examined barriers to injury surveillance.
Online cross-sectional.
Twenty-two responders working in competitive swimming.
Injury surveillance methods, data collected, perceived level of effectiveness and barriers associated with injury surveillance.
Fifteen responders participated in injury surveillance, with 13 responders using a recognised definition for injury. Ten responders did not use any sports injury classification system. Ten responders found injury surveillance to be very effective at identifying injury trends, while previous injury history and training load data were perceived to be most influential in preventing injury. Limited time, funding and compliance were common obstacles, while poor staff communication and engagement were barriers to the effective implementation of injury surveillance.
The implementation of injury surveillance is related to the system objectives, competitive level of those under surveillance and the resources available. This implementation requires the balance of adhering to the principles outlined in prominent consensus statements and overcoming the barriers associated with implementing a system effectively.
本研究旨在确定竞技游泳环境中所采用的损伤监测方法。它探讨了所收集数据的性质、所使用的损伤定义以及损伤监测的感知有效性。最后，本研究还考察了损伤监测的障碍。
在线横断面研究。
22名从事竞技游泳工作的应答者。
损伤监测方法、收集的数据、感知的有效性水平以及与损伤监测相关的障碍。
15名应答者参与了损伤监测，其中13名应答者使用了公认的损伤定义。10名应答者未使用任何运动损伤分类系统。10名应答者发现损伤监测在识别损伤趋势方面非常有效，而既往损伤史和训练负荷数据被认为在预防损伤方面最具影响力。时间、资金和依从性有限是常见障碍，而工作人员沟通不畅和参与度低是有效实施损伤监测的障碍。
损伤监测的实施与系统目标、受监测者的竞技水平以及可用资源有关。这种实施需要在坚持重要共识声明中概述的原则与克服有效实施系统相关的障碍之间取得平衡。
