Introduction:
In recent years, fencers from the state of Cojedes in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela have not achieved satisfactory sporting results due to the increase in sports injuries.
Objective:
To evaluate the impact of an educational intervention in fencing coaches on the prevention of sports injuries in the state of Cojedes, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental educational intervention was carried out, without a control group, in fencing coaches from the Sports Initiation School to determine the causes of osteomyoarticular conditions in athletes. The knowledge to perform adequate preventive work was evaluated during the training sections, before and after the educational intervention. The sample consisted of 13 coaches, selected by the non-probabilistic method.
Results:
A hundred percent of respondents demonstrated adequate knowledge to prevent injuries during sports training.
Conclusions:
The educational intervention increased fencing coaches' knowledge about the prevention of sports injuries.
