FIVB Medical Regulations – 11th Edition I. FIVB INJURY SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM 1. Background Injury surveillance during FIVB competitions aims at providing important epidemiological information about injuries in volleyball, but also directions for injury prevention and the opportunity for monitoring long-term changes in the frequency and circumstances of injury. The FIVB Injury Surveillance Program is modeled on the IOC protocols developed for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. An injury report form and procedures have been created based on the IOC model to enter the data from a particular team participating in the competition. The standardized report form comprises a single page containing three sections: (A) descriptive, giving information about event and particular match, (B) giving team doctor contact information and details about injuries, and (C) definitions and codes of all variables to be documented. 2. Confidentiality Confidentiality of all information shall be ensured. The player number is used only to avoid duplicate reports. The identity of the player will not be entered into the injury database; all injury report forms will be stored in a locked filing cabinet and will anonymized after the end of each event. All M-10 forms will be safely stored and anonymized after the tournament. All reports will be written to guarantee that no individual athlete or team can be identified. - 48 -
