To describe coaches' education in injury care and management and their club's access to medical care, to describe coaches' perceptions of how family physicians care for sports injuries, and to describe strategies used for overcoming perceived poor advice.
A telephone survey using both closed and open-ended questions was conducted. Information was collected as background information to a larger study investigating coaches' decisions about allowing injured athletes to compete.
All 28 competitive gymnastics clubs in the province of Alberta. The clubs trained athletes for all competitive levels.
All 70 coaches registered with the Alberta Gymnastics Federation as working with female gymnasts were approached; 64 coaches were interviewed.
Injury education, access to medical care, perceptions of sports-injury treatment provided by family physicians, strategies employed for overcoming perceived poor advice.
Education in injury care and management was varied, as was access to medical care. Direct access to sport-specific medical care was available at three of the five elite-level clubs, an arrangement stemming from dissatisfaction with the conventional health care system. At all competitive levels, most coaches were dissatisfied with the recommendations they received from family physicians. Various strategies were employed to acquire more suitable advice.
The results point to a need for improved communication between family physicians and coaches.

艾伯塔省所有28家竞技体操俱乐部。这些俱乐部为所有竞技水平的运动员提供训练。
与艾伯塔体操联合会注册的所有70名从事女子体操教练工作的教练进行了接触；采访了64名教练。
伤病教育、获得医疗服务的情况、对家庭医生提供的运动损伤治疗的看法、用于克服所认为的不当建议的策略。
伤病护理与管理方面的培训各不相同，获得医疗服务的情况也是如此。在五个精英级别俱乐部中的三个，可直接获得针对特定运动项目的医疗服务，这一安排源于对传统医疗保健系统的不满。在所有竞技水平上，大多数教练对从家庭医生那里得到的建议不满意。采用了各种策略来获取更合适的建议。
结果表明家庭医生和教练之间需要改善沟通。
