Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Incidence of initial injuries.

  Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period.

  At the end of the intervention season (6 months).

• The incidence of recurrent injuries

  Recurrent injury is defined as a repeat episode of a fully recovered injury. Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.

  At the end of the intervention season (6 months)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• injury severity

  At time of any injury occurring throughout intervention soccer season (6 months)

• Compliance with the intervention

  At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
