Summary

This study looked at how well an injury prevention program called I-PROTECT works in youth handball. Over 4,200 players, coaches, and club staff in Sweden used an app with exercises and education. The goal was to see if people would actually use the program and if it changed their views on injury risk. The study did not test if injuries actually went down, only how the program was adopted and used.
