Effect of an Unsupervised Multi-domain Intervention on Injury Risk Reduction in Athletics: Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial

In athletics, injuries can affect athletes' participation in athletics, their performance and career, but also their health in physical, psychological and social aspects, in the short, medium and long term.

This justifies the development and implementation of injury risk reduction strategies. These should be developed according to a holistic approach that considers the complex aetiology of injuries in sport. Although many different injury risk reduction strategies have been studied in sport, in general, each has been evaluated in isolation, including for example education, neuromuscular exercises, psychological techniques or individual injury risk assessment. The investigators therefore hypothesized that their combination could improve the overall effectiveness of an intervention aimed at reducing the risk of injuries in athletics.
