Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Football is the most popular sport in the world, with 260 million male and female active participants, including \~113,000 FIFA registered professional players. Playing football is fun and can provide many health benefits, however, it also presents a high injury risk. Studies on elite and non-elite footballers have reported similar injury rates in both genders. The most common football-related injuries are the knee and ankle ligament and thigh muscle strains, Over the past two decades, significant advancement has been made in the field of injury prevention in football. There are used trials to prevent specific injuries, as ankle sprain, ACL injuries, hamstring strains, etc. On the other hand, there are created programs designed to prevent a wider spectrum of injuries like FIFA11+.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a new injury prevention program on the overall injury incidence in young football players.

Outcome Assessors

Two teams will work on injury data collection. Teams are not informed for which group (intervention or control) they are recording the datas.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

The intervention group will use the new injury prevention program at least twice per week in their training sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Injury prevention program

Intervention Type OTHER

The execution of the program takes 10-15 minutes. The program will be performed in the training sessions, after the usual warm-up.

The program is based on scientific evidence that has previously shown good efficacy on injury prevention in football. The exercise categories address 7 aspects:

1. Balance
2. Core stability
3. Hamstring eccentrics
4. Glute activation
5. Plyometrics
6. Running
7. Games The games are included with the aim to increase the attractiveness of the program.

Each category contains 2 exercises and the coach is free to decide which one to choose in every training session. All exercises are organized in five or six levels with increasing difficulty (physically and cognitively).

Control

The control group will continue their usual training routine.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
