Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to verify the ratio and relevance of the reference group by calculating the odds ratio of the professional sports leaders to the sport safety cognition and related variables (coaching career, current team gender, and current team injury experience). Method: The data applied to the analysis is 119 professional sports leaders who participated in 2015 Sports Safety Accident Survey by Korea Sports Safety Foundation. In this study, the case control study design was applied to the analysis to calculate odds ratio for sports safety cognition by professional sports leaders. For the purpose of analyzing the factors affecting the characteristics of professional sports leaders, the research design for the Likelihood ratio (ratio difference) and Chi-square test (relevant verification) were performed. The design of 2X2 was applied to calculate the odds ratio with the reference group. Results: According to the analysis of sports safety cognition and related variables of professional sports leaders, firstly, Odds Ratio (OR) of awareness of the effect of sports safety education is 0.95, OR of awareness of necessity of sports safety education for athletes is 0.43, OR of awareness of Korea Sports Safety Foundation is 1.2 and OR of purchase sports insurance (mutual-aid) is0.54 for leaders who have more than 5 years of coaching career. Secondly, OR of awareness of the effect of sports safety education is 1.61, OR of awareness of necessity of sports safety education for athletes is 0.48, OR of awareness of awareness of Korea Sports Safety Foundation is 1.03 and OR of purchase sports insurance (mutual-aid) is 1.03 for leaders who coach both men and women. Thirdly, OR of awareness of the effect of sports safety education is 2.56, OR of awareness of necessity of sports safety education for athletes is 0.97, OR of awareness of awareness of Korea Sports Safety Foundation is 0.34 and OR of purchase sports insurance(mutual-aid) is 2.97 for leaders who have noninjury experience in current team. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is likely that a leader who has more than five years of coaching career, a leader who coaches both men & women and a leader who is aware of then injury of athletes recognize the importance of sports safety about 0.3 to 3 times higher in the entire 95% confidence interval.
