Health Education for Physiotherapy in Soccer Players

Summary

INTRODUCTION. Health education based on interventions with new information and communication technologies.

OBJECTIVE. To compare the effectiveness of an educational physiotherapy intervention in footballers, in face-to-face mode (conference) versus an intervention mediated by ICT, on the risk of medical injury with the Functional Movement Screen \[FMS\].

MATERIAL AND METHODS. A randomized clinical trial (RCT) was carried out. The population consisted of 100 participants divided into two groups (ICT n = 50) and (Conference n = 50), with an average age of 18.2 versus 18.3 years for a conference. and ICT respectively.

FMS

The evaluation of the risk of sports injury was obtained from the score in the Functional Movement Screen test suite.
