Official Title: Effects of the FIFA 11+ Neuromuscular Warm-Up Program on Move2Perform Injury Risk Classification in Youth Amateur Soccer Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether an eight-week, supervised FIFA 11+ neuromuscular warm-up program improves multifactorial injury risk classification, functional performance, and time-loss injury incidence in youth amateur male soccer players aged 15 to 18 years.

Forty-four players from a regional amateur league were randomly allocated to either the FIFA 11+ group or a control group that continued its routine pre-training warm-up. Injury risk was classified using the Move2Perform algorithm, which integrates demographic data, injury history, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and the Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ). Jump performance and isometric lower extremity strength were also assessed at baseline and after eight weeks. Time-loss injuries were recorded prospectively throughout the intervention period.

This study was registered retrospectively.
