ABSTRACT

Research with injured athletes highlights a considerable lack of support from coaches during rehabilitation, yet coaches’ perspectives are rarely studied. Knowledge critical to effective coaching has been examined, but not within the context of injury. Thirteen coaches were interviewed regarding (1) perceptions of their role during rehabilitation, (2) use of International Sport Coaching Framework (ISCF) knowledge types to support injured athletes, and (3) perceived barriers to providing support. Data were analysed using deductive and focused coding based on the ISCF framework. Coaches reported increasing frequency of contact with athletes during rehabilitation and using interpersonal knowledge to learn about their athletes. Athletes’ welfare and longterm health were important considerations for coaches when providing support. Coaches reported athletes could be significant barriers to providing support, in addition to policy and resource constraints. The results can teach coaches and coaching educators to identify effective uses of coaching knowledge to improve athletes’ injury rehabilitation.

摘要

对受伤运动员的研究表明，在康复过程中，教练的支持严重不足，但很少研究教练的观点。对有效教练至关重要的知识已经过研究，但不是在受伤的背景下进行的。13 名教练接受了采访，内容涉及 (1) 对其在康复过程中的角色的看法，(2) 使用国际运动教练框架 (ISCF) 知识类型来支持受伤的运动员，以及 (3) 认为提供支持的障碍。使用基于 ISCF 框架的演绎和聚焦编码分析数据。教练报告说，在康复期间与运动员接触的频率越来越高，并利用人际关系知识来了解他们的运动员。运动员的福利和长期健康是教练提供支持时的重要考虑因素。教练报告说，除了政策和资源限制外，运动员可能是提供支持的重大障碍。结果可以教会教练员和教练教育者识别教练知识的有效用途，以改善运动员的损伤康复。
