First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based training course called MAP for Coaches, designed to teach youth sport coaches how to prevent common muscle and bone injuries in young athletes. About 200 coaches of soccer, basketball, football, or volleyball will take the course. Researchers want to see if the training improves coaches' knowledge, confidence, and plans to use injury-prevention warm-up exercises.
