The aim of this study was to assess the awareness, implementation, and opinion of children's football coaches worldwide regarding the FIFA 11+ Kids Injury Prevention Program efficacy using a self-administered questionnaire. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ Kids Injury Prevention Program was developed and shown to effectively reduce football-related injuries in numerous studies. Such a program may prevent injury risk and decrease absenteeism and injury-related financial burdens. The results of this study provide evidence for children’s coaches to consider including the FIFA 11+ Kids program in their warm-up regimen. The FIFA 11+ Kids program reduced overall injury rates in children playing soccer more than the usual warm-ups. The injury risk ratio was 0.43 (0.29-0.61), suggesting that the experimental group experienced 57% fewer injuries than those in the control group. A total of 86 injuries were reported in the control group in 42,616 hours of exposure (2.01 injuries/1000 exposure hours). The secondary outcome was the rate of compliance with the intervention program.Ī total of 43 injuries were reported in the experimental group in 50,120 hours of exposure (0.85 injuries/1000 exposure hours). The primary outcomes included the incidence of overall and recurrent injuries and their mechanism and severity. Participants were prospectively followed during 1 season (6 months). The experimental group underwent the FIFA 11+ Kids program as a warm-up during training sessions and matches at least twice a week, and the control group continued performing their usual warm-ups. Complete datasets were collected from 45 teams (377 players) and 43 teams (363 players) in the experimental and control groups, respectively. It was hypothesized that the FIFA 11+ Kids program would be more effective than performing a typical warm-up regimen in reducing overall injuries among soccer players aged 7 to 13 years.Ī total of 94 boys’ soccer teams, including 780 players, were randomly allocated into an experimental or control group. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ Kids is an exercise-based injury prevention program developed by an international group of experts to prevent injuries among child soccer players. FIFA11+ Kids was found to be an effective approach to decrease the injury risk among young football players, which is worth generalizing extensively. Compared with normal warm-up training, FIFA11+ Kids significantly reduced overall injury risk (RR = 0.52 p < 0.00001), severe injury risk (RR = 0.33 p = 0.0004), lower extremity injury risk (RR = 0.51 p < 0.00001), knee injury risk (RR = 0.45 p = 0.0009), and ankle injury risk (RR = 0.56 p = 0.01) in young football players. A total of 230 articles were screened, 6 of which were finally included in the meta-analysis. Methodological quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale.

Risk ratios (RRs) were calculated for each outcome. The primary outcome was overall injuries, and the secondary outcomes were severe, ankle, knee, and lower extremity injuries. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched from 1 January 2016 to 24 August 2022. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effects of FIFA11+ Kids on injury prevention in young football players. Most effects were small, but slight improvements in motor performance may potentially contribute to a reduction of injury risk.įIFA11+ Kids is a warm-up program specially designed to prevent football injuries in children.

At least possibly beneficial improvements in favour of "FIFA 11+ Kids" were observed in nearly all parameters. Possibly beneficial effects were found in Y-balance, drop jump reactive strength index, drop jump height, countermovement jump, standing long jump, slalom dribble and wall volley test. We observed likely beneficial effects favouring INT in Y-balance (right leg +3.2% standardised mean difference (SMD) = 0.34 P = 0.58) and agility run (+3.6% SMD = 0.45 P = 0.008). We used magnitude-based inferences and linear mixed-effects models to analyse performance test results. Pre- and post-tests were conducted using: single leg stance Y-balance test drop and countermovement jump standing long jump 20-m sprint agility run slalom dribble and wall volley test. CON followed a standard warm-up (sham treatment). INT conducted the 15-min warm-up programme "FIFA 11+ Kids" twice a week for 10 weeks. We stratified 12 football teams (under-9/-11/-13 age categories) into intervention (INT, N = 56 players) and control groups (CON, N = 67). The present study evaluated the effects of a newly developed injury prevention programme for children's football ("FIFA 11+ Kids") on motor performance in 7-12-year-old children.
