Summary
This study follows 400 Swedish elite football players (academy and professional) for up to 5 years to understand how physical fitness, training load, and other factors relate to injury risk and success. Researchers will measure endurance, strength, speed, and neuromuscular control at regular intervals and track injuries. The goal is to develop better screening tools and return-to-sport guidelines.
