NCT ID NCT06262087
First seen Jan 04, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding change-of-direction drills to the FIFA 11+ warm-up program can reduce a risky knee movement called knee valgus angle in male soccer players. Twelve players were split into two groups: one did the FIFA 11+ alone, the other added change-of-direction training. The goal was to see if the combined training could lower a movement linked to ACL injuries.
