Each month, both groups will be asked to fill in a form with the potential injuries they experienced during the past month.

  • Intervention group :

All the teams included in the intervention group will be asked to follow a warm-up prevention program (about 15 minutes) at least twice a week, at the beginning of the training session.

At the beginning of the season, one experimenter will go to the different clubs in order to present the program, to explain the exercises and to correct the players while doint the exercises.

During the season, the same experimenter will go to the clubs at regular intervals to make sure that the players are well doing the program and to assess the compliance.

  • Control group :
