we have maintained and updated the free educational website for
coaches, parents and players. This website provides guidance on
how to reduce serious knee injuries through using an easy,
structured warm-up which reduces ACL ruptures by 50% in young
sportspeople. A video of the PEP injury prevention warm-up shows
the exercises individually with guidance on good knee positioning.
Where sports have sport-specific warm-ups we signpost coaches,
parents and players to their specific sports injury prevention advice.
If coaches would like to attend a face-to-face training session there
is an online booking facility.
We have continued to expand the initiative nationally during the
past year by working to steadily increase the network of national
ambassadors/trainers. We now have over 200 ambassadors. The
Power Up To Play ambassadors are medical or allied professionals
who support the initiative through their professional work discussing
the importance of injury prevention strategies with young people
and parents. Through ambassadors we have been able to offer
free, face-to-face training for grassroots sports coaches in different
locations across the UK.
This year we have been working with key stakeholders in the area of ACL
injury prevention in the UK to form a well-represented strategic group. The
aim of this group is to discuss and agree on an effective approach to
widely and permanently embed injury prevention in grassroot sport in the
UK. UK ACL Injury Prevention Strategy Collaborative and the Women's
ACL Injury Research Group to raise the profile of injury prevention
nationally and advance the research knowledge in this area.
Power Up to Play continue their collaboration with King's College London
and our joint PhD student has started to research the challenges of
implementing a national injury prevention programme in the UK.
We also take opportunities to raise the profile of the initiative by
attending international conferences and using social media to help
generate interest and awareness of the work of Power up to Play.| |---|---| March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Website** Summary of the main Maintaining and updating our website http://www.poweruptoplay.org/ achievements of the charity This year we made the following improvements to the charity website: during the year § adding a 'Further Reading' section to the website referencing relevant published, peer-reviewed research which forms the basis of Power Up To Play's work. **Oxfordshire coach training events** We have continued to provide local face-to-face coach training sessions including a session provided for local hockey and football coaches. **National roll-out of initiative** We have rolled out the initiative nationwide with ambassadors in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
