Stimulating injury-preventive behaviour in sports: the systematic development of two interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In addition to the beneficial health effects of being active, sports are also associated with a risk of sustaining injuries. To avoid the occurrence of sports injuries, preventive measures can be applied. The aim of the current article is to provide insight into the systematic developmental process of two evidence-based interventions designed to stimulate injury-preventive behaviour in runners and skiers, in which Intervention Mapping (IM) and Knowledge Transfer Scheme (KTS) are used as developmental protocols. However, the ultimate steps in the process are adjusted to meet requirements of the intervention and the target group.

Methods

Using a three-step process, we developed two interventions to stimulate injury-preventive behaviour in runners and skiers. Sports
