Assist athletes to prevent and manage injury
Overview
[Injury prevention and management is an important component of a
coaching programme for participants in many sports and activities. To be
effective, injury prevention and management has to be properly integrated
into the participants’ programme.
It is vital that coaches analyse the participants’ current level of risk of injury,
select and plan activities, information and advice that will help to minimise
risks, evaluate and refine the injury prevention strategy and work with other
specialists to assess injuries when they occur and evaluate their
implications. Coaches will also integrate this injury management/recovery
strategy into the wider coaching programme, directly provide activities that
will assist injury management and recovery and evaluate and refine the
injury management/recovery strategy.
Coaches must also take account of guidelines from national governing
bodies, experts and their own prior experience when designing and
delivering injury prevention and management strategies.
The standard is divided into two parts these are:
D511.1
D511.2
Assist athletes to minimise the risk of injury
Assist athletes to manage and recover from injury
