Sažetak
The aim of the work was to contribute to the
knowledge in the field of injury prevention in Slovak
basketball. There was used ex post facto research method.
To process and gather data we used basic logical methods,
comparative analysis, frequency and percentage analysis,
and Chi-square. According to the Slovak coaches, the
most effective measures of injury reduction are Longer
regeneration (over 82%) and Better athletic preparation
(over 80%). The most frequent prevention measures they
use are Stretching (96,7%), Warm-up (85,1%) and
Strengthening (65,3%). The additional measures most
frequently used are Taping (69%) and Ortheses (66,7%).
The coaches demanded prevention measures mainly for
Knee (95%) and Ankle (83,7%). We evaluated differences
between current international trends in injury prevention
and situation in Slovakia. Differences were statistically
significant in the questions dealing with Reduction of
injuries, Applied prevention measures, Additional
prevention measures and Demands. Also there were
evaluated the differences between the Slovak coaches
according to the coaching levels. Even though we
presumed that there would be no differences among the
levels, in fields of Applied prevention measures,
Additional prevention measures and Demands there were
statistically significant differences (p<0,1 – 0,01). The
work has been a part of a pilot project “Safety in Sports”.
The aim of the project has been to widen the
consciousness in the field of injury prevention in Europe
and consequently to help the coaches reduce injuries
among their players. We presume a substantial
contribution of this work and related activities for Slovak
basketball, considering in Slovakia there is a very little
attention contributed to this matter.
