Injury prevention is crucial for success in both team and individual sports, as player availability directly impacts performance and team rankings. This conversation highlights that structured injury prevention programs, when integrated into training, can significantly reduce injury rates by 50-80%. Specific examples of such programs include FIFA11+ and Perform+ for football, the KNEE Program for netball, and FootyFirst for Australian Rules Football. These programs typically incorporate exercises focusing on plyometrics, neuromuscular control, and strength training to mitigate common sports-related injuries. Widespread adoption of these readily available programs is encouraged to enhance athlete durability and overall sporting success.
