To design and evaluate an integrated training load monitoring and injury/illness surveillance system in a competitive swimming environment.
Descriptive/mixed methods.
Swim Ireland National Training Centres.
Fourteen competitive athletes and seven coaches/medical data collectors participated in the evaluation process.
System satisfaction, usefulness and burden were evaluated. Barriers to the implementation and effectiveness of the system were explored.
Most athletes were 'extremely' or 'very' satisfied with the overall data collection process and also found it to be 'extremely' or 'very' useful in the training centre environment. All practitioners were 'extremely satisfied with the system and found it to be either 'extremely' or 'very' useful in their role. Process constraints and data access and control were significant themes related to the athletes, while practitioners highlighted communication and cooperation amongst stakeholders, layering context to the data, maintaining data integrity and the coach's influence in the monitoring process as being important to the monitoring/surveillance process.
Training load monitoring and injury/illness surveillance are necessary to elevate the standard of prospective injury/illness prevention research. Integrated systems should be designed in line with key consensus statements, while also being implemented in a way that counteracts the challenges within the real-world training environment.
设计并评估一种综合的训练负荷监测和伤病监测系统,应用于竞技游泳环境。
描述性/混合方法。
爱尔兰游泳国家训练中心。
14 名竞技游泳运动员和 7 名教练/医疗数据收集者参与了评估过程。
评估了系统满意度、有用性和负担。探讨了系统实施和有效性的障碍。
大多数运动员对整体数据收集过程“非常”满意,他们也认为该系统在训练中心环境中“非常”有用。所有从业者对系统“非常满意”,认为该系统在他们的角色中“非常”有用。过程限制以及数据访问和控制是与运动员相关的重要主题,而从业者则强调了利益相关者之间的沟通与合作、为数据分层、保持数据完整性以及教练在监测过程中的影响,这些对监测/监视过程都很重要。
训练负荷监测和伤病监测对于提高前瞻性伤病预防研究的标准是必要的。综合系统应根据关键共识声明进行设计,同时还应在实际训练环境中克服挑战的方式进行实施。
