  text: '<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Objectives To assess the current
    opinions and state of knowledge in primary sports injury prevention among members
    of the German-Speaking Society for Orthopaedic and Traumatologic Sports Medicine
    (GOTS).</jats:p><jats:p>Methods On 21 August 2019, a web-based questionnaire was
    sent to the members of the tri-national society GOTS (Austria, Germany and Switzerland).
    The survey was online until 21 November 2019 and included twenty-two questions,
    which were divided into five sections: 1) general importance of prevention (n = 4),
    2) specifications of the study population (n = 3), 3) implementation of prevention
    (n = 8), 4) improvement opportunities in prevention (n = 4) and 5) future research
    areas (n = 3).</jats:p><jats:p>Results A total of 272 participants completed the
    survey, representing a total survey participation of 17.7 % of all members. The
    study population consisted of orthopaedic surgeons (55 % with surgical and 21 %
    with non-operative orientation), medical students (10 %), physical therapists
    (8 %) and sports scientists (4 %). Ninety-four percent of all participants stated
    that they considered the importance of sports injury prevention to be “very high”
    (68 %) or “high” (26 %). However, almost 70 % of all participants stated that
    they spend less than one hour per week on injury prevention work. The term “prevention”
    was clearly defined and practicable for only 40 %, understandable but difficult
    to implement for 51 %, and unclear and difficult to implement for 9 % of the participants.
    Seventy-two percent of respondents were aware of existing prevention programs
    such as “Stop-X” or “FIFA 11 +”, whereas 28 % of participants were uninformed
    regarding these programs.</jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions A strong divergence was
    identified between participants’ perception of the importance of sports injury
    prevention and the existing implementation of preventive measures. Future funding
    of prevention programs, expansion of research strategies for injury prevention
    and better financial reimbursement are of utmost importance.</jats:p>'
