Summary

This is a three-armed intervention study that evaluates the injury preventive effects of three different training interventions in youth and adult football players. Two intervention arms are randomized and one arm acts as a non-randomized comparison group. Half of randomized participants will receive a general injury prevention exercise program with emphasis on the lower extremities, and the other half a hip/groin focused injury prevention exercise. A third group of participants who already use an injury prevention exercise program at study inclusion are invited to participate as a non-randomized comparison group and continue their usual training practices.
