What the publication reports

The authors combine quantitative and qualitative evidence on adolescent sports injury prevention. Their focus connects programme outcomes with implementation in community settings, where use of established programmes remains limited.

Limits and interpretation

An effective programme in a research setting may not be adopted or maintained in a club. The authors identify a need for stronger community implementation research.
