The 12 teams were allocated at random to two groups of six teams, one being given a prophylactic program and the other serving as control. The program was based on previous studies of injury mechanisms. It comprised (1) correction of training, (2) provision of optimum equipment; (3) prophylactic ankle taping; (4) controlled rehabilitation; (5) exclusion of players with grave knee instability; (6) information about the impor tance of disciplined play and the increased risk of injury at training camps; and (7) correction and supervision by doctor(s) and physiotherapist(s).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The injuries in the test teams were 75% fewer than in the controls. The most common types of soccer injuries, sprains and strains to ankles and knees, were all significantly reduced. It is concluded that the pro posed prophylactic program, including close supervi sion and correction by doctors and physiotherapists, significantly reduces soccer injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658301100302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,21]],"date-time":"2007-06-21T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1182458812000},"page":"116-120","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":222,"title":["Prevention of soccer injuries"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jan","family":"Ekstrand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University Hospital, Link\u00f6ping, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Gillquist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University Hospital, Link\u00f6ping, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sten-Otto","family":"Liljedahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University Hospital, Link\u00f6ping, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1983,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","unstructured":"Armitage P.
