Abstract
Effect of the FIFA 11+ Programme on Vertical Jump Performance in Elite Male Youth Soccer Players
Highlights
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, with close to 270 million participants (FIFA, 2007)
Since the interaction between time and group was obtained, “simple effects” analysis was used, which showed that the FIFA 11+ group had significantly more improvement in vertical jump performance after interventions (p=0.002) than the routine warmup programme did, but there were no differences between groups one month after stopping the FIFA 11+ programme (p = 0.076)
The current study aimed to compare the performance of the vertical jump height between the FIFA 11+ and the routine warm-up programme groups as well as the follow-up results obtained in terms of improving the jump height one month after stopping the FIFA 11+ programme
Summary
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, with close to 270 million participants (FIFA, 2007). Soccer has a risk of injury for both professional and amateur levels in all age grades (Junge & Dvorak, 2004). Ninety percent of all soccer players are male, and young players account for 54.7% of the total population of players (Daneshjoo, Mokhtar, Rahnama, & Yusof, 2013). Preventing injury in soccer is essential, especially for young male soccer players. One effective factor in the success of a prevention programme is the high rate of compliance with it. If an injury prevention programme has a positive and direct impact on the performance, in addition to positive effects on the factors related to injury prevention, the programme is easier to accept by coaches and athletes (Nakase et al, 2013).
