Investigating the barriers and facilitators to the adoption and implementation of injury prevention exercise programs – February 15, 2023
February 15, 2023
Webinar description:
There is a myriad of evidence supporting the use of evidence-based exercise programs as tools to prevent injury. Despite the high effectiveness of these programs, implementation and usage rates remain strikingly low. This presentation will cover the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of evidence-based injury prevention exercise programs by describing the current literature on this topic. Additionally, the speakers will provide suggestions directed towards researchers, clinicians, and administrators on ways to improve the implementation rates and sustained use of these programs in non-elite athletic settings.
