Hi we use "11+" in a soccer team from two years before the and every training during the week .

We had less injuries in these two years .

greetings

Sabino

Hi Gustavo. I knew it, but there is no chance to apply it in an adult male professional first division team (where I worked for 10 years). It is too light

A hug

Marcelo

Hello Gustavo,

Well, the 11 + being widespread.

Recently several articles have been published on the subject and most confirmed its preventive effect.

I'll attach an article (meta-analysis) on the effectiveness of this type of program.

sincerely

Hi everybody.

I insist, in my oppinion 11+ is useless in a professional male level (I have only experience in that situation). I cuote part of the summary of the metaanalysis "...Effective implementation of practical neuromuscular warm-up strategies can reduce lower extremity injury incidence in young, amateur, female athletes and male and female military recruits". So if you work with those, you may use it. I you are talking about a proffesional level, don't even think about it.

I would like to know what kind of players were the subjects of Sabino Farese.

Dear Sabino, Marcelo and Raphael, thanks all for your contribution!!!

Due to these articles (down written) I have read, it seems that this is a well structured program representing an important role in the prevention of athletic injury, not only in football, but also in basketball or futsal.

However, as Marcelo said, new research studies should be conducted to bring out the necessary degree of compliance with the program well enough to determine the ideal type of athlete that is intended.

I think that the key point of this program is its way of dissemination and implementation, representing an example to follow in the great challenge of creating new programs for injury prevention in the world of sports medicine.

Thank you all and if anyone have the restlessness of making a work together for further publication be free to contact me; )

Dear all,

The FIFA 11+ programme is a good and very studied program. I work with professional football players (and other sports) and I have been talking with physios and athletic trainers about that program. In professional world they do not use this program, they can take some exercises from it but they do not use the complete program. In my opinion it can be a good program in formative football teams or no professional clubs, because the the trend in this area is to individualize workouts and trainings, treatments and prevention programs.

I agree with Carles. The FIFA 11+ is well established and there is enough evidence that it works on levels below professionals. However, as there is no other program that has been studied in professionals and there is no research that it will not work on pros, I wonder why the value of such a program for highest level athetes is that heavily negated.

I agree that there is a trend in professionals (also in the highest youth and women´s leagues) to individualization (regarding fitness, recovery, injury prevention). But programs like the 11+ can serve as an evidence-based blue-print for the highest level, too. At least, as long as no other research is available (and that means that people who are active on the highest level must allow, support and initialize research in these athletes).

Meta-Analysis; Soccer teams using FIFA 11+ warm-up program will reduce injury rates 20-50% vs teams that don't. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs40279-015-0404-x
