“…A further finding was that a general injury prevention program evaluated in the trial by van Beijsterveldt et al [54], which included a range of exercises in the form of a warm-up, did not show statistically significant effects on injury incidence over a season. Their finding of no effect on overall injury incidence was similar to the findings of trials using the same program, 'The 11' or the modified version 'The 11+' in adolescent female football players [76,77].…”

“…The majority of the post intervention intra-group results for the EG showed a tendency to rise, however, only one of them (IL) presented a significant statistic differences of 46% compared to the CG which only increased to 15%, which could be associated with the stability of the dynamic chain (provided by the training program) which could be associated with the requirements for performing this motor movement 10,19 . The post intervention inter-group results suggest that the EG had significantly improved scores in the IL, test with a score of p 0.001, compared to the CG which didn't produce any significant scores in any of its variables.…”

“…One of these programs which is renowned for its effectiveness at preventing injury is the FIFA 11+ 9 . Those football teams that use the program generally reduce the risk of injury by 30% to 70% compared to those that do not use it 10,11 , when applied this program also significantly improves the players' functional capacity in neuromuscular control, strength, static/dynamic balance and agility skills over an 8 week period 12 . There are some tools available which enable the assessment of movements such as the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) TM 13,14 .…”

Introduction: Increasing youth participation in soccer has several benefits, but it also brings risks of injury. The use of neuromuscular techniques is effective in preventing injuries, especially in periods of growth as occurs in puberty, which coincides with the development of fundamental basic movements. Therefore, it is important to implement and evaluate prevention programs that focus on neuromuscular control during this stage. Objective: To determine the effect of the FIFA 11+ over a six-week training period in order to quickly improve fundamental movement patterns in under-14 soccer players. Method: A quasi-experimental study that evaluated the fundamental movement patterns through the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) in 22 athletes who were divided into a control group (CG; N=11) and an experimental group (EG; N=11), submitted to the program FIFA 11+ for six weeks. The SPSS 20.0 program was used to analyze the data. Results: Statistically significant improvements were found in the in-line lunge (IL) and in the post-intervention FMS total scores in EG, as well as intergroup improvements when testing the deep squat (DS) in the EG, but not in both groups. Conclusions: The six week FIFA 11+ program did not produce significant improvements in players’ fundamental movements.

“…In addition to conventional handball training during this period, IG performed the FIFA11+ program twice a week with mean of 40 minutes each session, based on the study by Soligard et al 8 . The main differences between training sessions are that the FIFA11+ program presents a greater focus on injury prevention, especially by approaching the central stabilizing musculature through boards, and by strengthening hamstring muscles, whereas conventional handball training addresses the specific fundamentals of the sport, such as passes and pitches in order to improve sporting performance.…”

“…Thus, more and more research is being conducted on injury prevention programs in athletes, such as "FIFA 11+", initially developed to reduce injuries in soccer players. This program consists of a physical exercise-based training that focuses on central stabilizing muscle strength (CORE), neuromuscular control and balance, eccentric training of the thigh muscles, plyometry and agility 8 .…”

-Considering that handball is a sport that requires physical contact, jumps, and fast movements, it is relevant to create prevention strategies to avoid injuries. It is known that better proprioceptive conditions and muscular balance are associated with reductions in sport injuries. The aim of this study was to analyse the cumulative effect of a twelve-week FIFA11+ training program in addition to conventional handball training on postural balance and isokinetic strength of the knee joint in female handball athletes. Twenty-one athletes (aged 11-14 years) were assessed and divided into two groups: intervention group (IG), composed of girls who practiced FIFA11+ associated with regular handball training, and control group (CG) composed of girls who participated only in team training. Both groups were assessed at pre-and post-intervention including knee muscular power using isokinetic dynamometer. Postural balance was assessed through computerized dynamic posturography, with sensory organization test (SOT), analysis of sensorial systems, and unilateral test. IG performed the FIFA11+ program exercises, twice a week, with sessions lasting 40 minutes on average, during 12 weeks. The results demonstrate an improvement in postural balance in IG group at condition 5 of SOT, and in the use of vestibular system at post-intervention, which did not occur in CG. As far as knee isokinetic muscular power is concerned, both groups showed improvements. In conclusion, the practice of FIFA11+ in addition to conventional handball training demonstrated important contributions on the postural balance of young players.
