Abstract

The aim of this study is analyze the importance of prevention program, Functional Primitive Movement WTA, to reduce training and match incidence injuries every 1000h in professional football players participants to Italian 3rd Division Championship (Serie C) during season 2018-2019. This program is based on dynamic movement to activate muscles kinetics chains. Infact this muscle activation it allows to have better physical efficiency during the training (e.g. aerobic and anaerobic training), because there is a better muscles stretching than it activates muscles chains. Infact 30% of strength of a muscle is directed by the fascia (chain) which is fundamental to provide the intermuscular coordination necessary to recruit (for functional groups) the force itself. Method: Twenty five (n=25) professional soccer players included goalkepeer (GK) take part in this study (age 26.1±4.5; body weight 73.6±6.3 Kg; height 182±5.7 cm; fat mass 7.3±4.8%). They have been analyzed during 11 months, where they played 317 practice and 43 official matches (38 championship + 5 Italy cup). Conclusion: This case study has allowed us to highlight how this preventive work method allows to significantly reduce the occurrence of muscle and joint injuries caused by indirect trauma, if applied consistently during the course of the sporting season.
