These skills can be honed with targeted training. Although football has many benefi cial effects on health, there is always the risk of injury, hence the need for comprehensive training programmes to include exercises aimed at injury prevention. The new "FIFA 11+ for Kids" injury prevention programme, which was developed by a group of international experts for 7-13-year-olds, is a new kind of warm-up programme that aims to minimise the risk factors that can cause injury. A major study of over 4,000 children in four countries has proved that the "FIFA 11+ for Kids" can prevent injury: players who used the programme suffered 38% fewer injuries than children in the group that used a normal warm-up programme, and where serious injuries were concerned, i.e. those involving a period of over 28 days without playing, the fi gure even exceeded 50%. Another study showed that the "FIFA 11+ for Kids" can improve motor skills, and, in particular, particular, agility, dynamic balance, jumping power and technical skills. With its targeted exercises and challenging training workouts, the "FIFA 11+ for Kids" can help children avoid injury while enhancing their performance. It is a focused and effi cient programme that you should use regularly in training. Summary: The "FIFA 11+ for Kids" is an effective injury prevention programme for children`s football that also improves performance. It should be performed regularly as a warm-up programme at the beginning of every training and thus replaces normal warm-up exercises.
