This study evaluates the preventive effect of a neuromuscular training program on injuries in youth floorball players. Half of participants will receive the training program, and half act as control and perform their usual training practices.
The study is a cluster-randomized controlled trial including male and female youth (12-17 years) floorball players. Club is used as cluster unit.
Coaches in the intervention group receive education of the preventive neuromuscular training program Knee Control (Knäkontroll) before the start of the season. Knee Control consists of 6 different exercises, with 4 different variations and 1 pair-exercise, and takes about 10 minutes to complete. In addition, coaches are instructed to perform a 5-minute running warm-up before the Knee Control exercises. Teams are to carry out the intervention at all training sessions, and the 5-minute warm-up also before all matches.
Coaches in the control group carry on their normal training and warm-up routines with their clubs.
Teams are followed for one full season: October 2017 - March 2018. Data registered for the study include exposure to floorball training and matches, and injuries that occur as a result of participation in floorball.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
The Knee Control program is a neuromuscular training program that consists of 6 different exercises, with 4 levels of progression and one pair-exercise, for each exercise. The Knee Control program takes about 10 minute to complete after familiarization. In addition, a 5-minute running warm-up is instructed to coaches. Coaches are to perform the Knee Control program + the 5 minute warm-up at all training sessions during the season, and the 5 minute warm-up before all matches.
Other: Knee Control training program
The control group teams receive no intervention, and coaches are instructed to carry out their normal training and warm-up practice throughout the season.
10-minute training program to be performed at all team training sessions during the season.

Ran from Sep 2017 to primary completion in Apr 2018, 7 months.
Of 119 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Athletic Injuries, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14. This study's 7 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 121 studies reached it within 5 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14.
