Three instruments were developed to measure and document LOT (Figure 1). Face validity was established by three athletic training educators who had 30 years of combined teaching experience and terminal degrees in higher education/ pedagogy.4 The instruments were developed for three content area courses (Care and Prevention of Injuries, Injury/Illness Evaluation, and Therapeutic Modalities). The most common components of each content area were identified. The components chosen for the Care and Prevention instrument were (a) assessment, (b) immediate care options, (c) return to play considerations, (d) demonstration of the immediate care intervention, and (e) demonstration of the return-to-play intervention.
