Abstract

The cost-effectiveness and efficacy of athlete profiling and injury prevention programs is influenced by procedural specificity, philosophy of athlete development within the sporting body and the dynamics within the multidisciplinary team (MDT). This article reports on the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach to injury reduction and performance development in an international netball squad. Problems with player compliance, training anxiety and injury rates sparked a decision to seek an alternative training approach. A reactive sports medicine system, poor player self-responsibility and inadequate player understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of sound training, inadequate screening procedures and perceived conflict between sports science and sports medicine personnel were identified as causative factors. A new program was designed where common objectives were identified, and individual roles delineated. A functional profiling session was performed as a team activity and comprised player self-evaluation and netball specific movement analysis. Mechanisms of injury, training anxieties and modification of the overall program to ensure continued progression rather than a false plateau were illustrated through this pr...Continue Reading
