Prevalence (%) of golf-related injuries over a period of 5 months
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Background:
60 million golfers around the world play golf. Golf injuries are most frequently located in the spine, elbow, wrist, hand and shoulder.
Those injuries are often seen in golfers with more playing hours and suboptimal swing biomechanics, resulting in overuse injuries.
Golfers who do not perform a warm-up of who do not-warm-up appropriately are more likely to report an injury than those who do. There are several ways to warm-up. It is unclear, which warm-up is most useful for a golfer to perform. Moreover, there is currently no evidence for the effectiveness of a warm-up program for golf injury prevention. We previously have developed the Golf Related Injury Prevention Program (GRIPP) intervention using the Knowledge Transfer Scheme (KTS). In the current study, the effect of this intervention program on golf-related injuries is evaluated. The hypothesis is that the GRIPP intervention program will reduce the number of golf-related injuries.
Methods/design:
The GRIPP study is a two-armed randomized controlled trial. Twenty-eight golf clubs with 11 golfers per club will be randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. The intervention group will perform the GRIPP intervention program, and the control group will perform their warm-up as usual. The GRIPP intervention is conducted with the Knowledge Transfer Scheme framework, which uses five steps to develop the intervention. Three experts meetings and a pilot study were organized. The interventions consist of 6 exercises with a maximum total duration of 10 minutes. The primary outcome is the overall prevalence (%) of golf injuries measured with the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) questions on health problems every fortnight.
Relevance of the study:
Warm-up prevention programs are proven to be effective in reducing the risk of injuries in other types of sports, such as volleyball, handball and baseball. No prospective randomized trials have assessed the effect of a warm-up protocol previously for golfers on injury prevention.
Hypothesis:
The hypothesis is that the GRIPP intervention will reduce golf-related injury rates.
