“…A meta‐analysis by Neto et al published in 2016 included 11 primary studies. The two meta‐analyses published in 2017 each included only six studies . Only three out of fifteen primary studies were cited in all four meta‐analyses: Soligard et al, Steffen et al, and Owoeye et al The overlap between included primary studies was very high, yielding a CCA score of 37.7%.…”

FIFA has a Medical and Research Centre (F‐MARC) which has designed a comprehensive program targeting muscle strength, kinesthetic awareness, and neuromuscular control during static and dynamic movements to decrease injury risk for soccer players. A number of meta‐analyses now exist on how effective FIFA's programs to prevent and reduce injury actually are, with various degrees of injury reduction reported. This research aimed to carry out a systematic review and to meta‐analyse the existing meta‐analyses so that a conclusion can be drawn on how effective the injury programs are. Relevant studies were identified by searching five databases for the period January 1990 till 1 July 2018. Results of each meta‐analysis were combined together using risk ratios (RR) in a summary meta‐analysis. QUOROM checklist and AMSTAR 2 assessment were used to assess the quality of reporting and methodology in the meta‐analyses. Four meta‐analyses met the inclusion criteria covering fifteen primary studies. All four meta‐analyses scored quite highly on QUOROM, but two were rated by AMSTAR 2 as moderate quality, and two were found to be of critically low quality. An overall risk reduction in 34% (RR = 0.66 [0.60‐0.73]) for all injuries and a reduction in 29% (RR = 0.71 [0.63‐0.81]) for injuries to the lower limbs were revealed by this meta‐analysis of meta‐analyses. Combining every previous meta‐analysis into a single source in this paper produced decisive evidence that the risk of injuries while playing soccer is reduced as a result of FIFA's injury prevention programs.

“…Furthermore, simple main effect of time revealed that both groups improved performance in the Sit and Reach test, the FIFA 11+ (F (1,18) = 23.81, p < 0.001, ŋ 2 p = 0.569) and CG (F (1,15) = 7.21, p = 0.017, ŋ 2 p = 0.325). Although the established level of significance (p ≤ 0.05) was not achieved for the interaction effect on VO 2 max, simple main effect of time showed that the mean VO 2 max significantly improved from pre-to post-test in the FIFA 11+ (F (1,18 ) = 22.22, p < 0.001, ŋ 2 p = 0.529), but not in the CG (F (1,15) = 2.85, p = 0.112, ŋ 2 p = 0.160). The changes from pre-to post-test in the remaining studied physical performance outcomes for FIFA 11+ and CG were not significant ( Table 2).…”

“…Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ is a complete, simple, and easy to implement warm-up program, comprised of 10 conditioning exercises. The application of the FIFA 11+ program has been primarily focused on preventing and lowering incidence of injuries in soccer players [1,2], but it also may improve physical fitness to some extent [3]. Recent meta-analysis confirmed that FIFA 11+ can be considered as a fundamental tool to minimize the risks of participation in football [4].…”

“…Although the main purpose of FIFA 11+ is injury prevention [1,4,11], the knowledge of training effects elicited by these training program on physical performance can help in identifying the potential mechanisms behind the reported reduction in injury incidence. Notwithstanding that studies have shown positive training effects of FIFA 11+ on measures of physical performance, only some authors have examined the exercise effects on various physical performance variables in young football players [3,5,7].…”

Studies dealing with the effectiveness of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ prevention program to improve performance outcomes in children aged < 14 years are limited. This study aimed to point out the effects of the application of short-term FIFA 11+ warm-up program on physical performance in young football players. Participants were 36 youth male football players, divided into a FIFA 11+ (n = 19; mean (SD) age: 11.15 (0.79) y) and a control group (CG: n = 17; age: 10.87 (0.8) y) and trained for 4 weeks. Before and after the training period, standing long jump performance, agility, repeated sprint ability, sit and reach, and "30-15" intermittent fitness tests were assessed. A mixed ANOVA showed significant differences between the groups in the standing long jump test (FIFA 11+: 5.6% vs. CG: −1.9%) in favor of FIFA 11+ over CG. Additionally, the FIFA 11+ performance of the Illinois agility test was significantly better compared to the CG performance (FIFA 11+: −1.9% vs. CG: 0.03%). The main findings of this study suggest that just 4 weeks of implementation of the FIFA 11+ improves physical performance compared with traditional warm-up routines in young soccer players.

PurposeShoulder dislocations in professional football are severe injuries with an increasing incidence and considerable layoff times. Unlike other football injuries, the mechanisms leading to shoulder dislocations are not well understood, which limits the development of targeted preventive measures. Thus, the aims of this study were: (1) to analyse injury mechanisms of shoulder dislocations in professional football, (2) to evaluate situational and (3) to assess kinematic patterns by performing a systematic video analysis.MethodsThe study included all shoulder dislocations occurring in official matches within Germany's top two professional male football (soccer) leagues (1. and 2. Bundesliga) from the 2012/2013 to the 2022/2023 seasons. A systematic video analysis was performed using the official Bundesliga video database. Two independent reviewers assessed injury‐related, situational and kinematic parameters.ResultsA total of 37 shoulder dislocations in 36 players (mean age 25 years) were analysed. Two primary injury mechanisms were identified: Type 1 mechanisms, caused by direct contact to the upper extremity (n = 14), and Type 2 mechanisms, caused by catching a fall (n = 22). Only one case did not fit these categories. Median layoff times were 94 days for Type 1 and 56 days for Type 2, but this difference was not statistically significant. Statistically significant differences between the two types were found in player action (p < 0.001) and type of contact (p = 0.005), while factors like player's speed, movement direction, football‐specific actions, ball possession and pitch location showed no statistically significant differences. On‐field treatment methods varied, but there were no statistically significant differences in repositioning attempts or reduction techniques (n.s.). Trunk position, shoulder joint version, shoulder elevation, and rotation, as well as elbow and wrist joint positions at the moment of dislocation, were similar between the two types (n.s.).ConclusionShoulder dislocations in professional football typically occur through direct contact or catching a fall, indicating a potential role for specific preventive measures.Level of EvidenceLevel III.
