Abstracts / Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport 20S (2017) e32–e66 e51 students (students only received 75% of the program). Participants completed the Short Measure of the Five Cs of Positive Youth Devel- opment (Geldhof et al., 2014) before and after participation in the program. Results: Coaches showed significant increases in competence, t(43) = -2.15, p = .037, confidence, t(44) = -3.88, p = .000, and con- nection, t(55) = -2.04, p = .046. The students showed significant increases in competence, t(137) = -3.23, p = .002, and confidence, t(132) = -4.09, p = .000. Qualitatively the coaches stated they liked the simplicity of the games and activities and felt they enabled par- ticipants to transfer acquired skills into life experiences outside sport. Discussion: These findings are especially noteworthy given the condensed format of the program. This is the first time LifeMatters has been presented to youth through a train-the-trainer program. The positive results suggest that the train-the-trainer program was effective, not only in upskilling the coaches to run the program with youth, but also in terms of the resulting benefits for coaches. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2017.01.137 115 Sporting opportunities for people with physical disabilities: Web search and interviews with providers A.

The reasons for low participation rates are not well understood. This project aimed to assess web-based information available about disability sports and to explore barriers to offering such opportunities from the perspective of sporting organisations. Methods: A mixed method study was conducted in two stages. We focused on 26 high participation sports. Stage one involved conducting online searches of sporting organisations at national, state and club levels and auditing the websites to identify: (1) men- tion of disability sports; (2) provision of information on eligibility; (3) disability specific contact details. Stage two involved conduct- ing semi-structured phone interviews with stakeholders identified from stage one to discuss barriers to providing sporting opportuni- ties for people with physical disability. Data from interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Results: Across 26 chosen sports, 149 organisations (43 national, 33 state, 73 clubs) were identified in the web search. Information about disability sport opportunities decreased from national (86% of websites mentioned disability sport) to state (73%) to club (42%) level. Similarly, information about who is eligible to play the dis- ability sport decreased from national (63%) to state (42%) and was not provided at the club level. A disability specific contact person within the organisation was provided by 37% of national organisa- tions and 42% of state organisations; however no club level websites provided this information. Representatives from 26 sporting orga- nisations (15 national, 4 state, 7 local) consented to be interviewed. Themes identified as barriers to providing disability sport opportunities were lack of funding, awareness of opportunities and co-ordination and collaboration among organisations, people’s atti- tudes and society’s stigma, too few facilities and too few qualified staff. Suggestions to address these barriers were fostering working partnerships, increasing understanding, diverse opportunities for funding, getting the word out, addressing the personnel shortage, opportunities for non-player roles and more adequate facilities. Discussion: Barriers are present both for people with disabil- ity accessing information about available sporting opportunities, particularly at a local level, as well as for sporting organisations to provide appropriate opportunities. Greater awareness and accep- tance from society of the role of sport for people with disability as well as better collaboration within sports and greater consistency of core information about disability sport opportunities on websites between sports may address some of the barriers identified. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2017.01.138 116 Injury location, type and incidence of male and female athletes competing at the world masters games I.

DeBeliso 4 1 Charles Darwin University, Australia 2 University of Sydney, Australia 3 California State University, United States 4 Southern Utah University, United States Introduction: It is important to increase participation in mas- ter’s sports as the belief is optimal physical activity will reduce the risk of overweight/obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Previous research on master’s athletes com- peting in international level sports has considered pre-competition training factors of injury type and location, injury rates in different sports, days lost in training and work based on injury types and severity by athletes competing at 2010 Pan Pacific Masters Games. This type information can be useful in understanding injury risk and developing injury prevention strategies for these athletes. The aim of the research was to assess the injury location, type and inci- dence of male and female athletes competing at the 2009 World Masters Games (WMG). Methods: 7175 athletes, (3687 males: age mean = 53.72 years, SD ± 10.05; 3488 females: age mean = 49.39 years, SD ± 8 = 9.15) competing at the 2009 WMG, Sydney volunteered and completed an online self-report survey regarding injuries received during training within four years prior to the competition. The specific questions related to different types of injuries sustained and injury locations and identified in detail in the results section. Descriptive statistics evaluated total frequency and percentages with location and type, and then rank ordered the injury data to compare male and female athletes. Results: The total injury type rates were relatively low for females from 0.1% concussion to 8.4% muscle/tendon strain and for males dental or puncture injury 0.1–12.6% muscle/tendon strain. The rank order for type of injury was very similar for both sexes where highest ranks were for muscle/tendon strain, joint pain, muscle pain and inflammation (8.4–5.4%). Injury location rates were relatively low for females from face/head 0.1% to knees/legs 5.3% and for males from eye 0.1% to knees/legs 9.7%. Once again, the rank order of injury location was similar for both sexes where highest ranked locations were knees/legs, shoulder, spine/back and ankle (9.7–3.4%). Discussion: Very similar injury types and injury locations were displayed by both sexes participating in the 2009 WMG. Specifically for the highest ranked types of injuries were muscle/tendon strain,
