Abstract Health benefits of physical activity in children are well known. However,
a drawback is the risk of physical activity-related injuries. Children are at
particular risk for these injuries, because of a high level of exposure. Because
of the high prevalence of physical activity injuries and the negative short- and
long-term consequences, prevention of these injuries in children is important.
This article describes how we systematically developed a school-based physical
activity injury prevention programme using the intervention mapping
(IM) protocol.
IM describes a process for developing theory- and evidence-based health
promotion programmes. The development can be described in six steps:
(i) perform a needs assessment; (ii) identify programme and performance
objectives; (iii) select methods and strategies; (iv) develop programme;
(v) adopt and implement; and (vi) evaluate.
First, the results of the needs assessment showed the injury problem in
children and the different risk factors for physical activity injuries. Based on
the results of the needs assessment the main focus of the injury prevention
programme was described. Second, the overall programme objective of the
injury prevention programme was defined as reducing the incidence of lower
extremity physical activity injuries. Third, theoretical methods and practical
strategies were selected to accomplish a decrease in injury incidence. The
theoretical methods used were active learning, providing cues and scenariobased
risk information, and active processing of information. The practical
strategy of the injury prevention programme was an 8-month course about
injury prevention to be used in physical education classes in primary schools.
Fourth, programme materials that were used in the injury prevention programme
were developed, including newsletters for children and parents,
posters, exercises to improve motor fitness, and an information website.
Fifth, an implementation plan was designed in order to ensure that the prevention
programme would be implemented, adopted and sustained over time.
Finally, an evaluation plan was designed. The injury prevention programme
is being evaluated in a cluster randomized controlled trial with more than
2200 children from 40 primary schools throughout the Netherlands.

The IM process is a useful process for developing an injury prevention
programme. Based on the steps of the IM we developed an 8-month injury
prevention programme to be used in physical education classes of primary
schools.
Regular physical activity (PA) has many health
benefits, for example it lowers the risk of obesity,
coronary heart disease and osteoporosis.[1-3] A
drawback of increased PA levels is the risk of
PA-related injuries. Sports are the leading cause
of injury and hospital emergency room visits in
adolescents.[4-5]The high prevalence of PA injuries in children
and the negative short- and long-term consequences
confirm its importance as a health problem.
Although most PA injuries are not life threatening,
the occurrence of PA injury can result in
pain, disability, school absence, absence from
PAs and sometimes in dysfunction in the
short and long term. Therefore, prevention of
PA-related injuries is essential. Emery[6] showed
in a review that injury prevention strategies in
children can reduce the risk of PA injuries.
However, the literature has some limitations and
is based primarily on observational studies for
specific injuries and specific sports.[7] Few studies
on school-based PA injury prevention strategies
have been published. Of these, only one study was
a randomized controlled trial.[8]Measures to prevent PA injuries should generally
be based on knowledge about the incidence
and severity of the PA injury problem, aetiological
risk factors, and mechanisms contributing to
the risk of sustaining such injuries.[9]Because a proper school-based PA injury prevention
programme in children does not exist and
evidence on effectiveness is lacking, development
and evaluation of such a programme is necessary.
An injury prevention programme can be developed
using the intervention mapping (IM) protocol.[10,11]IM describes a process for developing theory- and
evidence-based health promotion programmes,
and involves a systematic process that prescribes
a series of six steps: (i) performing a needs assessment;
(ii) defining suitable programme objectives;
(iii) selecting theory-based intervention
