Background: Football is defined to be a physically demanding sport that entails sudden acceleration and deceleration, rapid changes in direction, jumping and landing tasks, also as many situations in which players are involved in tackling to stay possession of or to win the ball. Between 2006 and 2008, FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC) developed a neuromuscular warm-up programme &injury prevention program with subsequent enhancement of performance for soccer called the FIFA 11+.The FIFA 11+ programme has been shown to be an efficient means of achieving optimal physiological readiness for sport. Purpose: The purpose is to study the scientific evidences regarding the effect of the 11+ warm -up programme on physical performance parameters in male recreational football players. Methodology: A search for relevant articles was carried out using key words- and search engines-PEDro, Pubmed, Science direct, Google scholar, Researchgate, Wiley library, The Cochrane library. Studies were selected from year 2010-2019. 15 articles were reviewed and included in which study. Results: 13 articles concluded that “FIFA 11+” prevention programme can be considered an appropriate warm-up, inducing improvements in football players. (level of evidence :1a,1b,2a,2b) There are 2 high quality of evidences. (Randomized control trial, Pre-post intervention Comparative study-1b) which suggests that that a soccer specific warm-up protocol relied on dynamic stretching and dynamic warm up is preferable in enhancing performance as compared to protocols relying on static stretches , FIFA 11+ program and other injury prevention programme. Conclusion: Based on evidences collected and analyzed it can be concluded that FIFA 11+ warming up program is soccer specific warming-up program which includes running, strength, plyometric, balance, and agility components which apart from being an effective injury prevention programme it has effective potential to enhance the physical performance of a player in parameters like VO2max, Strength, Balance, Flexibility, Agility etc. Clinical Implication: FIFA 11+ warming up program is soccer specific warming-up program which includes running, strength, plyometric, balance, and agility components. It has effective potential to enhance the performance of a player.Also FIFA 11+ warming up program is easy to be coach and train because it is well organized and structured to follow in every training session and can replace in place of traditional warm- ups. Key words: fifa 11+ warm-up, male football players, soccer, physical performance, neuromuscular parameters.

Background Soccer players incur injuries that typically affect their performance. Injuries are caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that call for multifactorial preventive interventions. The study examines the impact of the FIFA 11+ warm up programme on the incidence and severity of injuries in second division soccer players in Rwanda. Methods Twelve teams (309 players) were randomised in the intervention group and 12 teams (317 players) in the control group using a cluster randomized controlled trial with teams as the unit of randomization. Intervention group teams implemented the FIFA 11+ soccer specific warm-up programme during training and matches at least three times a week over seven months of the Rwandan soccer season. Control group teams continued with usual warm up exercises. The primary outcome of this study was the overall incidence of training and match injuries. Injuries, training and match exposure as well as severity categories were recorded per the F-MARC guidelines. Results A lower proportion of players sustained injuries in the intervention group (52%) compared to the control group (63%) (Odd ratio: 0.7; 95%CI: 0.5–0.9). A significantly lower rate ratio was observed in the intervention group for overall (RR = 0.6; 95%CI: 0.5–0.8) and match (RR = 0.6; 95%CI: 0.5–0.8) injuries. Compliance to the injury prevention programme was 77%. In the intervention group, the incidence of injury was similar across all teams and across the medium and highly compliant teams. There was a statistically significant 55% and 71% reduction of the rate of moderate and severe injuries in the intervention group respectively. Conclusion The 11+ warm up injury prevention programme resulted in a significant reduction in the odds of sustaining injuries. In addition, injuries sustained were less severe. The programme should be rolled out to all teams in Rwanda and may well result in a decrease in the incidence and severity of injury in similar contexts.

BackgroundInjury prevention programmes (IPPs) are effective in reducing injuries among adolescent team sports. However, there is no validated cricket-specific IPP despite the high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among amateur cricketers.ObjectivesTo evaluate whether a cricket injury prevention programme (CIPP) as a pretraining warm-up or post-training cool-down can reduce injury rates in amateur cricket players.MethodsCIPP is a cluster randomised controlled trial which includes 36 male amateur club teams having cricket players aged 14–40 years to be randomly assigned to three study arms: warm-up, cool-down and control (n=12 teams, 136 players in each arm). The intervention groups will perform 15 min CIPP either as a pretraining warm-up or a post-training cool-down.Outcome measuresThe primary outcome measure will be injury incidence per 1000 player hours and the secondary outcome measures will be whether IPP as a warm-up is better than IPP as a cool-down, and the adherence to the intervention.Trial registration numberACTRN 1261700047039.

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.

Objective. The primary aim of this study was to determine the effect of an injury prevention programme on the incidence of rugby injuries (overall, intrinsic and extrinsic injuries) among 15- and 16-year-old schoolboys, over a 2- year period. A secondary aim was to identify the percentage of intrinsic rugby injuries associated with a previous injury history. Design. A non-equivalent experimental-control group design with multiple post-tests. Subjects. A- and B-team rugby players (N =120) from 2 secondary schools in the North West province of South Africa. Intervention. The injury prevention programme was planned according to the physical, motor, biomechanical and postural status of all players. Players in the experimental group received exercises to improve biomechanical and postural deficits identified, as well as drills to address shortcomings in speed, agility, and explosive power. Main outcome measures. Rugby injuries were screened and injury data collected through the use of weekly sportsmedicine clinics. Results. Differences and changes in extrinsic injury incidence in this study could not be attributed to the effect of the prevention programme, and as a result injury trends related to overall injury incidence were inconsistent when the matching experimental and control groups were compared. However, the prevention programme did have a positive effect on the intrinsic injury incidence of both the 15- (d = 1.61) and 16-year-old (d = 0.83) groups during the study period. During the second season there were no intrinsic injuries of a previous nature among both the experimental groups (0%), while in contrast intrinsic injuries of a previous nature still amounted to a significant fraction in both the control groups. Conclusion. The present intervention programme did not have a practically significant effect on the incidence of overall rugby injuries and extrinsic rugby injuries in 15- and 16-year-old schoolboys over a 2-year period. However, in practice the prevention programme did have a significantly positive effect on the incidence of intrinsic rugby injuries among 15- and 16-year-old schoolboys over a period of 2 years. Timely introduction of this programme during the off-season is advised. South African Journal of Sports Medicine Vol. 19 (2) 2007: pp. 46-51
