I-PROTECT
I-PROTECT is based on existing research and knowledge of experts in sport medicine, sport psychology and implementation science, with the involvement of end-users throughout the process. The interdisciplinary intervention includes end-user-targeted information and injury prevention physical and psychological training, specifically tailored for youth handball. The intervention is delivered through a mobile application (I-PROTECT GO) specifically developed for the I-PROTECT project, including coach, player, club administrator, and caregiver modules. Tailored support to implement I-PROTECT is specifically developed for Swedish community youth handball.
Control
Coaches of youth teams in the control group clubs will be offered currently available injury prevention training (i.e., "Redo för Handboll", English: "Ready for Handball"), accessible online through the Swedish Handball Federation's coach education material.
