Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury in Sports: Focusing Elite Athletes Knowledge, Attitude, and Reporting Behavior

Abstract

    The current study was conducted to determine the relationship among knowledge, attitude and reporting behavior of elite athletes, those who were injured of an ACL injury in their sporting career. A sample of n=332 (male=270 (81.30%); female=62 (18.70%)) was selected and participated in the cross-sectional survey. A self-made structured questionnaire was developed and used for the collection of the required information. The collected data was properly tabulated and analyzed with the help of appropriate statistical tests. The analyzed data revealed a moderate correlation of knowledge and attitude with reporting behaviours of elite athletes. Pertaining to attitude towards ACL injury, athletes reported statistically significantly more unsafe attitudes regarding the management of ACL injury during a practice session and competition. The analyzed data revealed that athletes prefer to use play with an ACL in jury a behavior embedded in competitive sports culture. These findings suggest an intentional education program that could the attitude of athletes towards ACL injury.
