Reducing the risk of injury by promoting health behaviors

Despite current efforts, injuries are still common at top level. This risk could be partially reduced if athletes were more motivated to adopt appropriate injury prevention behaviours (e.g., sleep hygiene, diet, adaptation of warm-up and recovery, communication with sports and medical staff, and adaptation of equipment).

According to social-cognitive theories of health behaviour promotion, the most important elements to consider are athletes' beliefs about injury prevention, such as self-efficacy, risk perceptions or outcome expectations. The Health Action Process Approach is a theoretical framework that emphasises motivational factors as well as the volitional self-regulatory skills needed to achieve desirable health behaviours - recognising that good intentions alone are not enough to initiate and sustain behaviour change. 

The Health Action Process Approach has already been used to identify the determinants of initiating injury prevention programmes and as the basis for interventions with coaches to implement injury prevention programmes. While such individual interventions have been successful, the PREVAIL project aims to promote injury prevention behaviours through an institutional campaign in 2024, in INSEP.
