Brief Summary

The long-term purpose of an on-going participatory action research program "The KLUB-study" in Sweden, that involves scientists and representatives from all levels of athletics, is to develop a sustainable framework for safe athletics (track and field) training for child athletes born 2002-2006. The first part of the research program, a 1-year longitudinal study analysing training and injury data, was completed in November 2017. The present study sets out to evaluate a website that aims to support coaches and caregivers in their role as adult key stakeholders to foster young athletes to become adult athletes who possess the tools to maintain a healthy sporting lifestyle.
