The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the MAP for Coaches, a web-based Musculoskeletal Athletic injury Prevention training course, in youth sport coaches. The main question it aims to answer are:
The additional questions it aims to answer are:
Regardless of group, participants will receive the MAP for Coaches eLearning training course; however, the participants allocated to the control group will have their post-test survey completed right after they review the sport-specific 2-page injury prevention e-book containing an overview of the MAP for Coaches training course, including an infographic summary (Summarized MAP for Coaches eLearning Training Course). The intervention group will complete the post-test survey after the full training including both the course summary and the detailed course modules (the full training).
The investigators will compare the two groups to see if an exposure to the (Full) MAP for Coaches eLearning Training Course improves study outcomes compared with the control group.

| MAP for Coaches - Complete Course | Behavioral | The MAP for Coaches is an eLearning (web-based) knowledge translation training course aimed at providing youth sport coaches with the evidence-based education and motivation they need to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in young athletes. Course modules include a description of: (1) musculoskeletal injuries in youth sport; (2) the importance of injury prevention, and instructions on: (1) applying best practices for musculoskeletal athletic injury prevention, including neuromuscular training programs; (2) using behavioral strategies to successfully implement neuromuscular training warm-up programs in coaching sessions. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Knowledge Scores on an 11-Point Likert (0-10) Scale | Perceived knowledge regarding sport-specific musculoskeletal injuries and prevention. Minimum value possible is 0 (no knowledge) and maximum value possible is 10 (very high knowledge). Higher scores mean better outcome. | Baseline, Immediately after online training |
| Change in Knowledge Scores Based on 5 Course-Specific Questions (0-5) | Objective change in knowledge assessment regarding sport-specific musculoskeletal injuries and prevention based on 5 questions related to the lessons in the training course. Minimum value possible is 0 (poor knowledge score) and maximum value possible is 5 (very high knowledge score). Higher scores mean better outcome. | Baseline, Immediately after online training |
| Change in Self-Efficacy Scores on a 5-Point (1-5) Likert Scale | Perceived confidence regarding their ability to implement sport-specific neuromuscular training warm-up exercises. Minimum value possible is 1 (strongly disagree) and maximum value possible is 5 (strongly agree). Higher scores mean better outcome. | Baseline, Immediately after online training |
| Change in Intention Scores on a 5-Point (1-5) Likert Scale | Regarding their plan to implement sport-specific neuromuscular training warm-up exercises (self-report). Minimum value possible is 1 (strongly disagree) and maximum value possible is 5 (strongly agree). Higher scores mean better outcome. | Baseline, Immediately after online training |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term Change in Knowledge Scores on an 11-Point Likert (0-10) Scale | Perceived knowledge regarding sport-specific musculoskeletal injuries and prevention. Minimum value possible is 0 (no knowledge) and maximum value possible is 10 (very high knowledge). Higher scores mean better outcome. | Immediately after online training, 6 months post-training |
