Compliance to the injury prevention programme was 77%. A significantly lower rate ratio was observed in the intervention group for overall (RR = 0.6 95%CI: 0.5-0.8) and match (RR = 0.6 95%CI: 0.5-0.8) injuries. Injuries, training and match exposure as well as severity categories were recorded per the F-MARC guidelines.Ī lower proportion of players sustained injuries in the intervention group (52%) compared to the control group (63%) (Odd ratio: 0.7 95%CI: 0.5-0.9). The primary outcome of this study was the overall incidence of training and match injuries. Control group teams continued with usual warm up exercises. Intervention group teams implemented the FIFA 11+ soccer specific warm-up programme during training and matches at least three times a week over seven months of the Rwandan soccer season.
#Fifa 11 plus warm up trial
Twelve teams (309 players) were randomised in the intervention group and 12 teams (317 players) in the control group using a cluster randomized controlled trial with teams as the unit of randomization. The study examines the impact of the FIFA 11+ warm up programme on the incidence and severity of injuries in second division soccer players in Rwanda. Injuries are caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that call for multifactorial preventive interventions. Soccer players incur injuries that typically affect their performance.
