What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an injury prevention exercise program called Knee Control+ among youth and adult amateur football teams. It employs a hybrid cluster randomized controlled trial design, comparing teams receiving additional implementation support to those with standard access to the program. The study will assess various factors, including coach self-efficacy, player motivation, and training dosage, over the course of the 2025 football season. Coaches and players will be actively involved, with fitness coaches delivering the intervention and support materials.
