Popis: This study aimed to compare the effects of 8 weeks 11+ warm-up injury prevention program on kinematics and proprioception in adolescent male and female soccer players. forty adolescent soccer players (20 males, 20 females) aged between 14-16 years old were randomly assigned into four groups. The experimental group performed the 11+ program for 8 weeks and the control group did their warm-up program. The kinematic variable in a cutting maneuver was measured using VICON motion analysis and ankle and knees’ proprioception by joint position sense(JPS) was measured using a digital inclinometer. For kinematic variables only significant differences in knee valgus among females 11+ compared with female and male control groups were found (P < 0.05). Moreover, there were significant improvements in joint position sense variables in 11+ groups compared to control groups (P< 0.05). In conclusion, the 11+ program was proven to be a useful warm-up protocol in improving knee valgus and JPS among female and male adolescent soccer players. We suggest adding more training elements to the 11+ program that aimed to enhance the proper alignment of lower extremities which may consequently improve joint kinematics.
