The study’s objective was to map ethical positions with regard to the way in which 219 participants (45 non-athletes, 91 amateur athletes, 28 professional athletes, 17 amateur coaches, 8 professional coaches, and 30 physiotherapists) used various informational cues (an athlete’s indispensability for the team, the importance of the competition, the opinion given by sports medicine professionals, and the injured athlete’s attitude) to judge the acceptability of a coach’s decision to select (or not) an injured athlete just before a competition. The participants specified their judgment of acceptability in 16 scenarios created by combining these information cues under two conditions (selection and non-selection). The data were analyzed using cluster analyses, analyses of variance, and chi-squared tests. We found four clusters. Not selecting an injured athlete was always judged to be acceptable. The four clusters differed in terms of the type of role in sport and the level of acceptability of selecting an injured athlete. A coach’s decision with regard to an athlete’s health may be judged differently, according to the rater’s profile. Enabling athletes to compete while injured might violate ethical principles. Coaches and medical staff should also be aware of and understand their legal responsibilities.

根据教练选择（或不选择）受伤运动员的决定制定道德立场

该研究的目的是描绘 219 名参与者（45 名非运动员、91 名业余运动员、28 名职业运动员、17 名业余教练、8 名专业教练和 30 名理疗师）使用各种信息线索（运动员的团队的必要性、比赛的重要性、运动医学专业人士的意见以及受伤运动员的态度）来判断教练在比赛前选择（或不选择）受伤运动员的决定是否可接受。参与者在 16 个场景中指定了他们对可接受性的判断，这些场景是在两种条件下（选择和非选择）组合这些信息线索而创建的。使用聚类分析、方差分析和卡方检验对数据进行分析。我们发现了四个集群。不选择受伤的运动员总是被认为是可以接受的。这四个集群在运动中的角色类型和选择受伤运动员的可接受程度方面有所不同。根据评估者的个人资料，教练对运动员健康的决定可能会有不同的判断。让运动员在受伤时参加比赛可能违反道德原则。教练员和医务人员也应该了解并理解他们的法律责任。
