Main reasons for this are poor uptake and maintenance of current sports injury prevention exercises.Objective In order to improve uptake of sports injury prevention routines, this project set out to: 1. identify the specifics of current injury prevention programs within 6 European countries, and 2: to establish wishes and needs regarding injury prevention of the end-users (sport coaches, physical educators and youth) within 6 European countries.Design Semi-structured interviews and focus group sessions.Setting Youth sports teams and physical education (PE) classes.Patients (or Participants) Interviews and focus group sessions were performed within 6 participating countries (Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania, Romania, The Netherlands, United Kingdom). National stakeholders were interviewed to identify injury prevention programs. The program owners of the identified programs were then individually interviewed. The focus group sessions were organized with youth basketball and soccer players and PE pupils. Separate focus group sessions were organized for basketball/soccer coaches and physical educators.Interventions (or Assessment of Risk Factors) This qualitative study provided input for the development of a freely available ICT based platform with video material of routines designed to prevent sports injuries in youth.Main Outcome Measurements Overview of country specific results of interviews and focus groups.Results This study will describe the current availability of national injury prevention programs within 6 European countries. The results of the focus group sessions will establish the differences in beliefs regarding injury prevention in 6 European countries regarding injury prevention.Conclusions In the coming year, the Move Healthy project will use the qualitative results of this study to develop a freely available ICT based platform with video material of routines developed to prevent sports injuries in youth.}, issn = {0306-3674}, URL = {https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/55/Suppl_1/A138.2}, eprint = {https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/55/Suppl_1/A138.2.full.pdf}, journal = {British Journal of Sports Medicine} }
