| Study objectives | The promotion of safe sports participation proves effective in a physical education setting, resulting in a reduction of lower extremity injuries in children. Please note that as of 19/12/2008 the anticipated start and end dates in this record were amended. The previous dates are as follows: Initial anticipated start date: 01/10/2005 Initial anticipated end date: 01/10/2008 |
| Ethics approval(s) | The Medical Ethics Committee of Vrije University Medical Centre approved the study design, protocols and informed consent procedures on 6th July 2006 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | No condition, healthy person |
| Intervention | The study will be carried out during one school year in primary schools, reaching boys and girls aged 10 - 12 years (7th and 8th grade). Schools will serve as randomisation units to avoid spill-over of the intervention within schools and to enhance control over intervention adherence and compliance. The injury prevention programme aimed at lower extremity injuries in children aged 10 - 12 years was constructed based on an intervention mapping protocol. In general the injury prevention programme focuses on injury prevention in general and focuses on injury awareness, physical fitness and coordination (motor control). In addition the programme focuses on soccer, tennis, basketball, inline skating and snowboarding. These are the most commonly practiced activities in this age group. The injury prevention programme will be given by the children's teachers as a 9 month course. |
