Brief Summary

FIFA 11+ program; It consists of simple, easily remembered, and time-consuming, sport-specific exercises underlying fair play. Although the FIFA 11+ program is a well-established warm-up protocol for injury prevention among football players, the performance improvement aspect of the program is not often discussed in the literature. The study's objective is to investigate the efficacy of the FIFA 11+ program on sports performance parameters such as dynamic balance, isokinetic muscle strength performance in adolescent amateur male football players.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Isokinetic assessment

  When assessing the football players in terms of strengths, frequently use isokinetic systems . Computer aided muscle-testing dynamometers are utilized for measuring muscle force and this provides us with an assessment of muscles and group of muscle in an isokinetic manner. Isokinetic muscle testing is conducted with a stable speed of angular motion yet variable resistance.

  After the 9-week intervention

• balance assessment

  Dynamic postural control will be measured with the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), which will be applied with a system of 8 lines. The foot will be placed in the center of the testing system to be bisected equally in the medial-lateral anteroposterior planes. SEBT is made up of 8 directions: anterior, anterolateral, lateral, posterolateral, posterior, posteromedial, medial, and anteromedial.

FIFA 11+ group

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group will apply FIFA 11+ training 3 times a week for 9 weeks.

Behavioral: FIFA 11+ exercise program

control group

Interventions

FIFA 11+ exercise program BEHAVIORAL

FIFA 11+ program; It consists of simple, easily remembered, and time-consuming, sport-specific exercises underlying fair play. The F 11+ consisted of 3 parts: the first part consisted of running exercises (part 1); the second part included six exercises, which were made up of three levels of difficulty and aimed at enhancing balance, strength, muscle control, and core stability (part 2). The final and the third part covered advanced running exercises (part 3) .

FIFA 11+ group

routine program BEHAVIORAL

This program consists of jogging, and stretching exercises.
