![]() ![]() Major clinical research studies have clearly indicated that the consistent implementation of the “11+” can lead to a 30 – 50% reduction in injuries. with this in mind, fifA and its Medi-cal Assessment and research centre, f-MArc, have developed an injury prevention programme, the “11+”. non-contact injuries can be best prevented by thorough preparation. The laws of the game and their appropri-ate implementation through strict ref-ereeing, fair play and the improvement of technical skills all have a positiveĮffect on the reduction of contact in-juries. football injuries can be incurred with and with-out contact with another player. fifA is aware not only of this develop-ment but also of its responsibility to care for the health of players.

Although 11+ exercises are designed for players aged over 14 years, they result in an improvement in movement patterns, stability, and trunk muscle endurance. The 11+ Kids exercises reduce the injury and improve the physical fitness factors such as balance, jumping activities and lower limb isokinetic strength. Methodological quality of the studies were assessed through the PEDro score. A total of 520 studies were identified, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria of the review. PubMed and Science Direct databases were used using the search terms including FIFA 11+, 11+ kids, injury prevention, football, and pre-adolescent.
