First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether the FIFA 11+ warm-up program, a 20-minute routine of running, strength, balance, and agility drills, can lower injury risk in male youth amateur soccer players aged 15 to 18. Over eight weeks, players either do the FIFA 11+ warm-up before training or continue their usual warm-up. Researchers track injury risk scores, physical performance, and actual injuries to see if the program helps keep players safer.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this warm-up could become a standard tool to lower injury rates in youth soccer, keeping more players healthy and active.
