“…Some lesions, particularly to the muscles and tendons, can be prevented by ensuring good muscle condition, but others that arise during particular circumstances of the match are inevitable, and it is then that action must be taken to bring about a full recovery as soon as possible. Although some programs have been developed to prevent such injuries 3,4 , which have been the object of widespread consensus and have been publicized and analyzed, they still lack evidence 5,6 . Finding out what happens in championships offers the best way of predicting and preventing injuries 7 .…”

SummaryAim: to provide an overview of the traumatic injuries sustained by players in the 2015 America Cup. Material and methods: we collected the medical reports on all the matches held during the 2015 America Cup, in Chile, in 2015. Twelve American teams took part in the championship, consisted of 26 matches with a total of 276 players. The physician for each team sent a request form of the traumatic injuries sustained, including the time at which the injury was produced, the location and diagnosis, its severity and the circumstances (contact injury, sanction, treatment required). Results: the mean number of minutes played was 233 (SD: 147) (5-570) minutes. An injury occurred every 58 minutes, which means that there were 17.25 injuries per 1,000 minutes of match time. We found 44 injuries in 30 players. There were 14 non-contact injuries, and 30 contact injuries, of which 13 were declared fouls and resulted in cards being given. Five teams had one injured player, two had 2, two had 4, and one had 25 injuries. The most frequent injuries were those to the lower limbs. The muscles strains happened in the second part of the second half of the match, the ACL rupture at the end of the first half, and the other sprains and strains in the second half. The contusions occurred at all times throughout the match, although they seemed to be concentrated towards the end of the first half, while the cases of tendinitis were caused in the first part of the second half. Conclusion: football injuries are very common, and even though serious injuries are rare, it is increasingly necessary to set protocols for action which ensure good medical attention at all levels to address the problems that arise, both during training and in competitions, and to be prepared to treat serious injuries if these occur.

“…Nous avons retenu six études [1][2][3][4][5][6] pour un total de 930 sujets. Les publications présentaient des résultats très variables : le groupe d'intervention de deux études [1,5] présentait une réduction significative de la fréquence des blessures (p < 0,05 et p < 0,001).…”

“…In a cluster RCT of the FIFA 11+ in veteran players (minimum age of 32), Hammes et al (2015) found no preventive effect of the FIFA 11+ on overall injuries. The authors attributed this lack of effect to the low frequency of performed sessions and suggested modifying the program (e.g., adding more ball-based and individual exercises) to better fit the specific implementation context.…”

“…As support for the FIFA 11+'s efficacy grows (Al Attar et al, 2016), researchers have also explored the program's adaptability to other soccer populations, including veteran (Hammes et al, 2015), children (R€ ossler et al, 2016), and professional youth teams (O'Brien & Finch, 2016a). In a cluster RCT of the FIFA 11+ in veteran players (minimum age of 32), Hammes et al (2015) found no preventive effect of the FIFA 11+ on overall injuries.…”

BackgroundThe efficacy of injury prevention exercise programs (IPEPs) for amateur youth soccer has been established, but little is known about their adaptability to other soccer populations.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the use of individual injury prevention exercises by professional youth soccer teams, against the industry-standard, FIFA 11+ program.DesignProspective observational study.SettingA European professional youth soccer academy.ParticipantsSoccer coaches, fitness coaches and physiotherapists (n=18) from four teams.Data collectionThe teams' chosen IPEPs (total 160 sessions) were observed across one season and documented on a standardized form. The use of each FIFA 11+ exercise was coded as “performed” (in its original form), “performed modified” or “not performed”.Main Outcome MeasurementsThe primary outcome measure was the proportion of the 160 observed sessions containing each individual exercise in original or modified forms. The secondary outcome measure was the staff members' reasons for using and modifying FIFA 11+ exercises.ResultsOn average, individual FIFA 11+ exercises were conducted in original form in 12% of the sessions (range 0–33%), and in modified form in 28% of sessions (range 2–62%). The five most frequently observed exercises, in either original or modified form, were “bench” (72%), “squats” (69%),“running straight” (68%), “single-leg stance” (66%), and “sideways bench” (64%). Staff modified exercises to add variation, progression, and individualization, and to align with specific training formats and goals.ConclusionsProfessional youth soccer teams often use injury prevention exercises similar to those in the FIFA 11+, but tailor them considerably to fit their implementation context. These findings will inform the design and delivery of future, context-specific IPEPs.
