“…Three main target groups of RRI prevention can be exposed from this study: males, overweight runners (BMI≥25 kg/m2), and previously injured runners. Lessons learned from anterior cruciate injuries and hamstring muscle tears have clearly shown that both can be reduced with dedicated preventive exercise ( 19 , 20 ). Both injuries are quite easy to detect after an abrupt injury, as sportsmen are unable to continue with sports without medical help.…”

IntroductionThe aim of our study was to determine the self-reported incidence and prevalence of running-related injuries among participants of the 18th Ljubljana Marathon, and to identify risk factors for their occurrence.MethodsA customized questionnaire was distributed over registration. Independent samples of t-test and chi-square test were used to calculate the differences in risk factors occurrence in the injured and non-injured group. Factors which appeared significantly more frequently in the injured group were included further into multiple logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe reported lifetime running injury (absence >2 weeks) incidence was: 46% none, 47% rarely, 4% occasionally, and 2% often. Most commonly injured body regions were: knee (30%), ankle and Achilles’ tendon (24%), foot (15%), and calf (12%). Male gender, running history of 1-3 years, and history of previous injuries were risk factors for life-time running injury. In the season preceding the event, 65% of participants had not experienced any running injuries, 19% of them reported minor problems (max 2 weeks absenteeism), but 10% and 7% suffered from moderate (absence 3-4 weeks) or major (more than 4 weeks pause) injuries. BMI was identified as the solely risk factor.ConclusionsThis self-reported study revealed a 53% lifetime prevalence of running-related injuries, with the predominate involvement of knee, ankle and Achilles’ tendon. One out of three recreational runners experienced at least one minor running injury per season. It seems that male gender, short running experience, previous injury, and BMI do increase the probability for running-related injuries.

“…Since court‐based athletes frequently engage in change in direction cutting actions within their sport, they may have been less responsive to positively adapt to such movements within the training intervention . It is also important to note, a meta‐analysis conducted by Gomes Neto et al who analyzed eleven FIFA 11+ studies, including 4700 participants. The analysis indicated an overall significant improvement in agility performance following engagement in the FIFA 11+ program .…”

“…Subsequent authors have also reported the FIFA 11+ program to have beneficial effects in reducing injuries . The FIFA 11+ protocol has shown to improve physical performance variables such as jump height, and sprint ability when implemented both acutely and longitudinally as a training intervention . The FIFA 11+ protocol has demonstrated to reduce injury risk and increase performance indicators in mostly soccer players .…”

A neuromuscular training program enhances dynamic neuromuscular control and physical performance in court‐sport athletes

This study aimed to investigate the effects of an 8‐week neuromuscular training protocol on dynamic neuromuscular control and physical performance. Twenty female court‐sport athletes were randomly allocated to two groups, a control (n = 10) and an intervention group (n = 10). All participants performed pre‐testing inclusive of a 20‐m sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ), Illinois agility test, and the qualitative analysis of a single‐leg squat (QASLS), which is an assessment of dynamic neuromuscular control. Subsequently the intervention group engaged in a modified version of the FIFA 11+ neuromuscular training program twice weekly for 8 weeks. At post‐testing, there were between‐group differences in CMJ (intervention; +3.96‐cm vs control; −1.36‐cm, P = .003) and QASLS for both legs (P < .001) (right leg, intervention; pre: 3.75, post: 1.91, and control; pre: 4.11, post: 4.08) (left leg, intervention; pre: 3.72, post: 0.98, and control; pre: 4.05, post: 4.23). There was a within‐group improvement in 20‐m sprint for the intervention group only post‐training (pre: 3.69‐seconds; post: 3.60‐seconds, P = .043), while no differences occurred in Illinois agility test for either group. A modified FIFA 11+ protocol can be considered an effective neuromuscular training program for enhancing dynamic neuromuscular control and sport‐specific physical performance in female court‐sport athletes.

“…Sports managers in the field of sports play just the same role played by business managers; they determine the performance of the organization off and on the playing field (Galariotis, Germain, & Zopounidis, 2018). In football, according to Gomes, at al., (2017), performance is mainly based on the quality of the players. For example, in the 2017/2018 season, Manchester City used as much as €213.8 million in buying quality players from the different clubs in Europe.…”

Sport is becoming a global phenomenon. Moreover, it has been one of the major sources of income for the government in different countries. Therefore, sport management education is becoming increasingly important in the management of sports. Countries that spend more on the development of sports facilities have been associated with huge improvements in the sports industry. Similarly, clubs that spend more on acquiring new talents in the industry and availing sports facilities have been associated with higher performance. This led the European football clubs in the spending more than they earn so as to acquire the services of the best talents and avail the best sports facilities so as to perform better. Therefore UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) launched its financial fair play regulations. UEFA financial fair play regulations were introduced to prevent the European football clubs from overspending. This situation affects the education curriculum of the sports management departments in universities. The regulations have compelled the clubs to spend at the break-even point. This has led to the improvement in brand value, increased sponsors, and making decisions that do not lead the clubs to overspend. As a result, the clubs have grown economically and achieved higher financial stability. This research explores the adaptation of the sport management curriculum to these new situations.

Effects of the FIFA 11 training program on injury prevention and performance in football players: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: FIFA 11 can be considered as a tool to reduce the risk of injury. It may improve dynamic balance and agility and can be considered for inclusion in the training of football players.
