2. Intro/Problem Statement ❏ Using an integrated model of both Self-Determination Theory (SDT) & Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explain and enhance athletes’ adherence to sport injury prevention. ❏ This is important to us because we want to know how we can reduce the amount of injuries in sports related accidents. ❏ It is important to the field because as future healthcare providers, reducing the amount of injuries is our number priority.

3. Background Research ❏ In this article, scientists attempt to bring together variables from self- determination theory (SDT) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain athletes’ adherence to sport injury prevention behavior. Researchers have aimed to highlight that evidence-based theoretical integration can offer a comprehensive, predictive power of psychological models and effective model to help explain sport injury prevention in a new area of research. Nevertheless, theoretical integration is not simply a mixture of psychological variables from multiple theories, rather, it is precise and evidence-based on psychological variables and mechanisms of predicting and explain health behaviors.

4. Extension ❏ Our topic relates to other research articles like the Becoming an “Academic Coach” reading which talks about: ❏ Safer techniques when learning a sport ❏ Coaching students the right information about specific positions ❏ Knowing what you are talking about/ doing your research ❏ Contain certain research studies/ articles. ❏ What was missing from our research? ❏ Ways to prevent sports injury ❏ Test to prove how sport injuries are reduced ❏ Sport specificity ❏ Definite results ❏ Figuring out way to increase adherence in sports to reduce injuries.

5. Purpose/Hypothesis ❏ The purpose of this study is to highlight evidence-based theoretical integration can offer a comprehensive and effective model to explain sport injury prevention. ❏ The hypotheses of Self Determination Theory with respect to the pathways by which self-determined motivation impacts beliefs regarding future behavioural engagement, and utilizes the Theory of Planned Behavior to make the role of social cognitive mediators explicit in the relationship between self-determined motivation and intentional behaviour. ❏ Variables: Self Determination Theory (IV) & Theory of Planned Behavior (DV)

6. SDT & TPB Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)

7. Participants ❏ Several different participants took part in the study. ❏ Athletes (Recreational and Professional) ❏ Skaters (no specific type) ❏ Male Junior Netball Players ❏ Police Officers ❏ No certain Demographic area. ❏ No sample method was identified either.

8. Procedures ❏ There were no procedures to the study that needed to be done. ❏ The design of the research was to see the integration of SDT and TPB to see if integrating the two was helpful in preventing sports injuries ❏ TPB like attitude, intentions, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control was measured to see if it helped influenced injury prevention.

9. Data Analysis ❏ Self-determination theory and theory of planned behavior have been independently applied to predicting and understanding rehabilitation adherence. ❏ Studies of recreational and professional athletes have illustrated that self determined motivation is positively correlated with adherence to home-based physiotherapy, intentions to rehab sessions and adherence to prevention of sports injuries.

10. Descriptive Statistics ❏ In a meta-analyses the results of 37 studies integrated theories in various health related context. ❏ Exercise ❏ Dieting ❏ Breast-Feeding ❏ Condom-Use ❏ Results showed that self-determined motivation from the SDT exerted significant effects on attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC) and intention from TPB. ❏ Cross-cultural studies have been support by generalizability of the pattern of effect in integrated SDT & TPB models in data from numerous national groups.

13. Inferential Statistics ❏ The integrated model has also received preliminary support within injury prevention contexts, including elite sport and occupational context. ❏ For example, a cross-sectional study on police officers revealed that the positive effect of self-determined motivation in intention for injury prevention was fully mediated by: ❏ Attitude ❏ Subjective Norm ❏ Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) ❏ The motivational effect were confirmed in a follow-up study among professional athletes.

14. Conclusions ❏ The integration of multiple theoretical concepts by which the personal, social and environmental factors of athletes behavior contribute to the reduction of sport injury. ❏ SDT and TPB have demonstrated effective theory-based interventions delivered by significant others, such as coaches and physiotherapists, which led to successful adherence of sport injury prevention behavior.

15. Implications ❏ Hope to raise awareness of sport injury prevention. ❏ Also to inspire integrated approaches to research with, not only having the an open mindset, but also a vision of more comprehensive understanding of athletes adherence to injury prevention behaviour.
