There were overall 11 combinations of exercise elements that were effective in reducing lower extremity injury incidences/rates. Strength and balance exercises were included in 10 programmes, while agility, stretching and warm-up exercises were present in seven effective injury prevention programmes. Plyometrics or technique exercises (eg, lower limb control while landing from a jump) were just present in =5 effective prevention programmes. Interestingly, no combination of exercise elements was found to be effective for the prevention of groin injuries.
