Purpose: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of an injury prevention program on the incidence of ankle injuries in male youth amateur players. Study Design: Randomised controlled trial study. Methods: Fifty boys (mean ±SD: age 13.3±0.4 yr; body mass index of 20.9 ± 1.5 kg/m2; stature: 1.6 ± 0.1 m) from two-sport schools, with 4.4 ± 0.5 years playing experience, participated. Players were randomly assigned to either an experimental (EXP, n = 25) or a control (CON, n = 25) group. A physical exercise program designed exclusively for youth male soccer players to educate as well as increasing the awareness of the risk of injury of athletes and coaches. Over one year, all injuries were documented monthly by physiotherapists. Complete monthly injury reports were available for 50 players. Results: Nine ankle injuries occurred in the EXP group, and 20 injuries occurred in the CON group, corresponding to incidence rates of 0.96 and 2.16, respectively, per 1000 player hours, which equates to 55% fewer injuries in the EXP group. Conclusions: The incidence of ankle injuries among youth male soccer players can be reduced by the implementation of a multifaceted, soccerspecific physical exercise program. Coaches and players need better education regarding injury prevention strategies and should include such interventions as part of their regular training. 2018-03-07T03:18:28Z 2018-03-07T03:18:28Z 2017 Article Movement, Health & Exercise (MoHE), vol.6(1), 2017, pages 39-45 2231-9409 (Print) 2289-9510 (Online) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/52078 http://www.mohejournal.com/index.php/mohe en Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi (KPT), Malaysia
