Attitude and Knowledge of Basic Life Support of Professional Soccer Players and Coaches in Valencian Community

Aim Given the increasing occurrence of cases of cardiorespiratory arrest on soccer fields around the world, it seems pertinent to find out the degree of training and the attitude shown by the players and coaches themselves. The objective was to measure the knowledge and attitude of soccer professionals before and after a training intervention. Method After an exhaustive bibliographic review, a series of questions have been analyzed and selected, with which an ad hoc questionnaire has been prepared. This questionnaire has been completed by soccer players from the Spanish first division, male and female teams and their coaches. Once the data was collected, a training workshop was carried out to improve both the attitude and knowledge in relation to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
