Injury prevention exam Questions &
Answers Rated 100% Correct!!
What is the first step of the TRIPP model, and what do you need to do in this step?
CORRECT ANSWERS Injury surveillance - Counting injuries
Define fidelity CORRECT ANSWERS The extent to which a program is followed as
prescribed
This is when the players/coaches actually follow the correct exercises however not to
the extent they are meant to be doing them. For example in the footy first program it
was found that instead of players doing 6 sets they were actually only doing 2/3. So
they have adopted the program however its fidelity is not necessarily high
Are the players performing the exercises as prescribed?
Are the players actually at training to perform the program?
Define adaption CORRECT ANSWERS the extent to which a program is changed after
it is implemented
how much the coach you've given the program follows it. For example your lab
intervention may have been in single leg landing however the coach you give it to might
not be comfortable coaching single leg landings and therefore they may alter it to
double leg landings, this would be an adaption to the designed program.
Example: Typically injury prevention exercise programs are designed to be
implemented 2-3 times weekly. To prevent injuries in competition.
Adaption:
Development of an assessment tool
Alter the program to be implemented 1x per week on the day of the week with the
greatest attendance
What do we actually need to do in the first stage of the TRIPP model? CORRECT
ANSWERS How would we find out the problem?
Why should we do this?
Find out what needs to be prevented (e.g. hamstring injuries in footy)
- Counting injuries (total)
- Counting injuries (e.g. 34 hamstrings)
- Skill level (beginner/expert etc)
- Age (young/old people getting injured)
- Justify why you are counting these injuries
, What are some cons of doing surveys? CORRECT ANSWERS Written
- People have to physically do these (active involvement)
- People may not fully comprehend the question they are being asked and just vaguely
answer
- Usually requires them recalling info (memory may be scratchy if the incident was a
long time ago)
What is a con to only using hospital data CORRECT ANSWERS You only get those
injuries which result in emergency services/hospital admission, not the smaller scaled
ones.
What is the second stage of the TRIPP model? CORRECT ANSWERS Injury causes
Establishing aetiology (cause) and mechanisms of injury
What do we need to do in the second stage of the TRIPP model CORRECT ANSWERS
Identify what is causing the injuries that you have seen occuring in stage 1.
How would we determine the causes of this problem?
- Risk factors
- Protective factors
Why do we need to know this?
- How does it help us address the problem
How can we use a sports science sub-discipline area to help? Why would we do this
You could use similar resources to step 1 to find the information, but the emphasis is on
finding out why they are occuring.e.g. high speed running in AFL causes hamstring
injuries
e.g. wearing a helmet may be a protective factor, not wearing one may be a risk factor
What are the two types of risk factors which may be present in step 2? CORRECT
ANSWERS Intrinsic (low fitness)
Extrinsic (getting hit by a ball)
Where do we source information from when trying to complete 'injury surveillance' in the
TRIPP model CORRECT ANSWERS Sports Injury tracker
JLT (insurance provider for community sports)
Injury data
Surveys
Hospital data (high quality info)
Insurance companies
What are some sub-displines we can use? CORRECT ANSWERS Biomechanics
Psychology
