Brief Summary

The practice of Athletics leads to risk of injuries: about 61 to 76% athletes will occurred at least one injury during a season. The prevention of Athletics injuries thus represents a major challenge for all stakeholders around athletes. In team sports, injury prevention programs have been implemented and scientifically validated. However, no injury prevention programs have been implemented and scientifically validated for Athletics. In this context, a primary objective will be to analyze the effectiveness of an Athletics Injury Prevention Program (AIPP) to reduce the frequency (percentage) of athletes presenting at least one injury complaint related to athletic practice at long term (40 weeks). A statistician will carry out a randomized control trial in cluster (clubs with AIPP and clubs without AIPP), multicenter, including athletes between 15 and 40 years old and licensed in athletic clubs and followed during an athletic season.
