Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of initial injuries.
Time Frame: At the end of the intervention season (6 months).
Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period.
At the end of the intervention season (6 months).
The incidence of recurrent injuries
Time Frame: At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
Recurrent injury is defined as a repeat episode of a fully recovered injury. Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.
At the end of the intervention season (6 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
injury severity
Time Frame: At time of any injury occurring throughout intervention soccer season (6 months)
Defined as time loss in days (days unable to train): minor (1 to 7 days lost), moderate (8 to 21 days lost), or severe (>21 days lost). Injury severity data will be collected from Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form.
At time of any injury occurring throughout intervention soccer season (6 months)
Compliance with the intervention
Time Frame: At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
the rate of compliance
At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
