Objectives<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> To establish a novel injury prevention program based on infrared thermography and to determine its influence on the injury incidence in professional soccer players in the preseason. Design<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> A cross-sectional, prospective study design was used to compare a conventional injury prevention program (CPP) applied over the first preseason and an infrared thermography injury prevention program (IRTPP) carried out in the following preseason. Setting<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Soccer training ground. Participants<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Twenty-four players belonging to a first division soccer team from Spain. Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Injury incidences of each player were recorded according to the Orchard Sports Injury Classification System (version 10.0) convention to determine the injury classification, location, and type. Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The incidence of injuries decreased from 15 injuries in the CPP preseason (0.63 [0.77] injuries per player) to 6 injuries in the second preseason when the IRTPP was applied (0.25 [0.53] injuries per player). The days of absence due to injuries also decreased from the CPP preseason (156\u00a0d, 10.4 [11.0]\u00a0d per injury) to the IRTPP preseason (14 d, 2.3 [2.8]\u00a0d per injury). The injury severity also decreased from the first preseason to the second preseason, and fewer musculoskeletal injuries in the thigh, hip, and groin were reported. Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The implementation of an IRTPP can reduce the presence of injuries by identifying players potentially at risk and as a result, reducing the injury severity and days lost as a consequence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2019-0056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,28]],"date-time":"2020-03-28T06:58:40Z","timestamp":1585378720000},"page":"1222-1227","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":73,"title":["Infrared Thermography Protocol on Reducing the Incidence of Soccer Injuries"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Pedro","family":"G\u00f3mez-Carmona","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ismael","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Cuevas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Sillero-Quintana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Arnaiz-Lastras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Archit","family":"Navandar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"ref141","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1018","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2017-098160","article-title":"Why we should focus on the burden of injuries and illnesses, not just their incidence","volume":"52","author":"Bahr","year":"2018","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"key":"ref251","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"515","DOI":"10.1088\/0967-3334\/29\/4\/007","article-title":"Reproducibility of infrared thermography measurements in healthy individuals","volume":"29","author":"Zaproudina","year":"2008","journal-title":"Physiol Meas"},{"key":"ref171","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1263","DOI":"10.1080\/02640414.2014.884720","article-title":"Epidemiology of injuries in first division Spanish football","volume":"32","author":"Noya Salces","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Sports Sci"},{"key":"ref81","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"515","DOI":"10.1088\/0967-3334\/29\/4\/007","article-title":"Reproducibility of infrared thermography measurements in healthy individuals","volume":"29","author":"Zaproudina","year":"2008","journal-title":"Physiol Meas"},{"key":"ref241","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4700","DOI":"10.3390\/s100504700","article-title":"An overview of recent application of medical infrared thermography in sports medicine in Austria","volume":"10","author":"Hildebrandt","year":"2010","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref321","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2018-0203","article-title":"Validity of an on-field readaptation program following a hamstring injury in professional soccer","volume":"28","author":"Jimenez-Rubio","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Sport Rehabil"},{"key":"ref221","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"791","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03262295","article-title":"Which screening tools can predict injury to the lower extremities in team sports?
