    Input: Background Little is known about the influence of compliance with neuromuscular training ( NMT ) on the  knee injury rate in football . Aim To evaluate team and player compliance with an NMT programme in adolescent female football and to study the association between compliance and acute knee injury rates . Methods Prospect i ve cohort study based on a cluster r and omised controlled trial on players aged 12–17 years with 184 intervention teams ( 2471 players ) and 157 control teams ( 2085 players ) .  Exposure and acute time loss knee injuries were recorded . Team and player compliance was recorded by the coaches on a player attendance form . The intervention group was divided into tertiles of compliance . Injury rates were compared by calculating rate ratios ( RRs ) and 95 % CIs using exact Poisson tests with the low-compliance tertile as reference . Seasonal compliance trends were analysed using linear regression . Results Players in the high-compliance tertile had an 88 % reduction in the anterior cruciate ligament ( ACL ) injury rate ( RR 0.12 , 95 % CI 0.01 to 0.85 ) , whereas the rate in the control group players was not significantly different from those in the low-compliance tertile ( RR 0.77 , 95 % CI 0.27 to 2.21 ) . A significant deterioration occurred in team ( b=−3.0 % per month , 95 % CI −5.2 to −0.8 ) and player ( b=−5.0 % per month , 95 % CI −7.1 to −2.9 ) compliance over the season . Conclusions Players with high compliance with the  NMT programme had significantly reduced ACL injury rate compared with players with low compliance . Significant deterioration in team and player compliance occurred over the season Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular training in reducing the rate of acute knee injury  in adolescent female football players . Design Stratified cluster r and omised controlled trial with clubs as the unit of r and omisation . Setting 230 Swedish football clubs ( 121 in the intervention group , 109 in the control group ) were followed for one season ( 2009 , seven months ) . Participants 4564 players aged 12 - 17 years ( 2479 in the intervention group , 2085 in the control group ) completed the study . Intervention 15 minute neuromuscular warm-up programme ( targeting core stability , balance , and proper knee alignment ) to be carried out twice a week throughout the season . Main outcome measures The primary outcome was rate of anterior cruciate ligament injury ; secondary outcomes were rates of severe knee injury ( > 4 weeks ’ absence ) and any acute knee injury . Results Seven players ( 0.28 % ) in the intervention group , and 14 ( 0.67 % ) in the control group had an anterior cruciate ligament injury . By Cox regression analysis according to intention to treat , a 64 % reduction in the rate of anterior cruciate ligament injury was seen in the intervention group ( rate ratio 0.36 , 95 % confidence interval 0.15 to 0.85 ) . The absolute rate difference was −0.07 ( 95 % confidence interval −0.13 to 0.001 ) per 1000 playing hours in favour of the intervention group . No significant rate reductions were seen for secondary outcomes . Conclusions A neuromuscular warm-up programme significantly reduced the rate of anterior cruciate ligament injury in adolescent female football players . However , the absolute rate difference did not reach statistical significance , possibly owing to the small number of events . Trial registration Clinical trials NCT00894595 Background Participants ' compliance , attitudes and beliefs have the potential to influence the efficacy of an intervention greatly . Objective To characterise team and player compliance with a comprehensive injury prevention warm-up programme for football ( The 11 + ) , and to assess attitudes towards injury prevention among coaches and their association with compliance and injury risk . Study Design A prospect i ve cohort study and retrospective survey based on a cluster-r and omised controlled trial with teams as the unit of r and omisation . Methods Compliance , exposure and injuries were registered prospect ively in 65 of 125 football teams ( 1055 of 1892 female Norwegian players aged 13–17 years and 65 of 125 coaches ) throughout one football season ( March – October 2007 ) . St and ardised telephone interviews were conducted to assess coaches ' attitudes towards injury prevention . Results Teams completed the injury prevention programme in 77 % ( mean 1.3 sessions per week ) of all training and match sessions , and players in 79 % ( mean 0.8 sessions per week ) of the sessions they attended . Compared with players with intermediate compliance , players with high compliance with the programme had a 35 % lower risk of all injuries ( RR 0.65 , 95 % CI 0.46 to 0.91 , p=0.011 ) . Coaches who had previously utilised injury prevention training coached teams with a 46 % lower risk of injury ( OR 0.54 , 95 % CI 0.33 to 0.87 , p=0.011 ) . Conclusions Compliance with the injury prevention programme was high , and players with high compliance had significantly lower injury risk than players with intermediate compliance . Positive attitudes towards injury prevention correlated with high compliance and lower injury risk Background : Sport is the leading cause of injury requiring medical attention among adolescents . We studied the effectiveness of a home-based balance-training program using a wobble board in improving static and dynamic balance and reducing sports-related injuries among healthy adolescents . Methods : In this cluster r and omized controlled trial , we r and omly selected 10 of 15 high schools in Calgary to participate in the fall of 2001 . We then recruited students from physical education classes and r and omly assigned them , by school , to either the intervention ( n = 66 ) or the control ( n = 61 ) group . Students in the intervention group participated in a daily 6-week and then a weekly 6-month home-based balance-training program using a wobble board .  Students at the control schools received testing only . The primary outcome measures were timed static and dynamic balance , 20-m shuttle run and vertical jump , which were measured at baseline and biweekly for 6 weeks . Self-reported injury data were collected over the 6-month follow-up period . Results : At 6 weeks , improvements in static and dynamic balance were observed in the intervention group but not in the control group ( difference in static balance 20.7 seconds , 95 % confidence interval [ CI ] 10.8 to 30.6 seconds ; difference in dynamic balance 2.3 seconds , 95 % CI 0.7 to 4.0 seconds ) . There was evidence of a protective effect of balance training in over 6 months ( relative risk of injury 0.2 , 95 % CI 0.05 to 0.88 ) . The number needed to treat to avoid 1 injury over 6 months was 8 ( 95 % CI 4 to 35 ) . Interpretation : Balance training using a wobble board is effective in improving static and dynamic balance and reducing sports-related injuries among healthy adolescents Background Injury prevention programme delivery on adherence and injury risk , specifically involving regular supervisions with coaches and players on programme execution on field , has not been examined . Aim The objective of this cluster-r and omised study was to evaluate different delivery methods of an effective injury prevention programme ( FIFA 11 + ) on adherence and injury risk among female youth football teams . Method During the 4-month 2011 football season , coaches and 13-year-old to 18-year-old players from 31 tier 1–3 level teams were introduced to the 11 + through either an unsupervised website ( ‘ control ’ ) or a coach-focused workshop with ( ‘ comprehensive ’ ) and without ( ‘ regular ’ ) additional supervisions by a physiotherapist .  Team and player adherence to the 11 + , playing exposure , history and injuries were recorded . Results Teams in the comprehensive and regular intervention groups demonstrated adherence to the 11 + programme of 85.6 % and 81.3 % completion of total possible sessions , compared to 73.5 % for teams in the control group . These differences were not statistically significant , after adjustment for cluster by team , age , level and injury history . Compared to players with low adherence , players with high adherence to the 11 + had a 57 % lower injury risk ( IRR 0.43 , 95 % CI 0.19 to 1.00 ) . However , adjusting for covariates , this between-group difference was not statistically significant ( IRR=0.44 , 95 % CI 0.18 to 1.06 ) . Conclusion Following a coach workshop , coach-led delivery of the FIFA 11 + was equally successful with or without the additional field involvement of a physiotherapist . Proper education of coaches during an extensive preseason workshop was more effective in terms of team adherence than an unsupervised delivery of the 11 + programme to the team . Trial registration IS RCT N67835569 Objective To examine the effect of a comprehensive warm-up programme design ed to reduce the risk of injuries in female youth football . Design Cluster r and omised controlled trial with clubs as the unit of r and omisation . Setting 125 football clubs from the south , east , and middle of Norway ( 65 clusters in the intervention group ; 60 in the control group ) followed for one league season ( eight months ) . Participants 1892 female players aged 13 - 17 ( 1055 players in the intervention group ; 837 players in the control group ) . Intervention A comprehensive warm-up programme to improve strength , awareness , and neuromuscular control during static and dynamic movements . Main outcome measure Injuries to the lower extremity ( foot , ankle , lower leg , knee , thigh , groin , and hip ) . Results During one season , 264 players had relevant injuries  : 121 players in the intervention group and 143 in the control group ( rate ratio 0.71 , 95 % confidence interval 0.49 to 1.03 ) . In the intervention group there was a significantly lower risk of injuries overall ( 0.68 , 0.48 to 0.98 ) , overuse injuries ( 0.47 , 0.26 to 0.85 ) , and severe injuries ( 0.55 , 0.36 to 0.83 ) . Conclusion Though the primary outcome of reduction in lower extremity injury did not reach significance , the risk of severe injuries , overuse injuries , and injuries overall was reduced . This indicates that a structured warm-up programme can prevent injuries in young female football players . Trial registration IS RCT N10306290 QUESTION Is an injury prevention program consisting of 10 exercises design ed to improve stability , muscle strength , co-ordination , and flexibility of the trunk , hip and leg muscles ( known as The11 ) cost effective in adult male amateur soccer players ? DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis of a cluster-r and omised controlled trial . PARTICIPANTS 479 adult male amateur soccer players aged 18 - 40 years . INTERVENTION The intervention group was instructed to perform the exercises at each training session ( 2 to 3 sessions per week ) during one soccer season . The exercises focus on core stability , eccentric training of thigh muscles , proprioceptive training , dynamic stabilisation , and plyometrics with straight leg alignment . The control group continued their usual warm-up . OUTCOME MEASURES All injuries and costs associated with these injuries were compared between groups after bootstrapping ( 5000 replications ) . RESULTS No significant differences in the proportion of injured players and injury rate were found between the two groups . Mean overall costs in the intervention group were € 161 ( SD 447 ) per athlete and € 256 ( SD 555 ) per injured athlete . Mean overall costs in the control group were € 361 ( SD 1529 ) per athlete and € 606 ( SD 1944 ) per injured athlete . Statistically significant cost differences in favour of the intervention group were found per player ( mean difference € 201 , 95 % CI 15 to 426 ) and per injured player ( mean difference € 350 , 95 % CI 51 to 733 ) . CONCLUSIONS The exercises failed to significantly reduce the number of injuries in male amateur soccer players within one season , but did significantly reduce injury-related costs . The cost savings might be the result of a preventive effect on knee injuries , which often have substantial costs due to lengthy rehabilitation and lost productivity . TRIAL REGISTRATION NTR2416 Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of a structured warm-up programme design ed to reduce the incidence of knee and ankle injuries in young people participating in sports . Design Cluster r and omised controlled trial with clubs as the unit of r and omisation . Setting 120 team h and ball clubs from central and eastern Norway ( 61 clubs in the intervention group , 59 in the control group ) followed for one league season ( eight months ) . Participants 1837 players aged 15 - 17 years ; 958 players ( 808 female and 150 male ) in the intervention group ; 879 players ( 778 female and 101 male ) in the control group . Intervention A structured warm-up programme to improve running , cutting , and l and ing technique as well as neuromuscular control , balance , and strength . Main outcome measure The rate of acute injuries to the knee or ankle . Results During the season , 129 acute knee or ankle injuries occurred , 81 injuries in the control group ( 0.9 ( SE 0.09 ) injuries per 1000 player hours ; 0.3 ( SE 0.17 ) in training v 5.3 
    Output:
    
Program implementation appears limited in obtaining administrative support , utilizing an interdisciplinary implementation team , and monitoring or promoting fidelity of the intervention .
Conclusion : Despite strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of preventive training programs in youth athletes , there is a gap between short-term improvements and long-term implementation strategies .
