Injury prevention programs are effective when used in adolescent team sports .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
The Efficacy of Injury Prevention Programs in Adolescent Team Sports: A Meta-analysis
Am J Sports Med. 2016 Sep;44(9):2415-24Ten studies, including nine randomized controlled trials and one prospective cohort study, were included in this meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy of injury prevention programs in adolescent team sports. Pooled results demonstrated a significant injury rate reduction with the use of injury prevention programs versus control interventions overall. Subgroup differences were noted for the type of sport, in which basketball/handball experienced a greater injury rate reduction with injury prevention programs than in soccer, and type of program implemented. NonFIFA11+ programs experienced a larger injury reduction rate than FIFA11+ programs.
