Key result
Exercise interventions significantly reduced the overall risk of sports injuries compared to control groups (RR 0.672).

Do exercise interventions reduce the risk of sports injuries?
Relative Risk: 0.672 (95% CI 0.43–0.87)
p-value: p=<0.001
Specific exercise interventions, such as FIFA warm-ups and neuromuscular training, are effective in reducing the risk of sports injuries.
Supports routine use of exercise-based prevention in athletes; confirms efficacy across prior trials.
of p > 0.05) had no preventive effect. Our analysis showed that different exercises have preventive roles in sports injuries. The warm-up FIFA, neuromuscular training, and eccentric training reduced the risk of injury in the intervention group compared to the control group by a high percentage. At the same time, neuromuscular warm-up and FIFA 11 dynamic warm-up also decreased the relative risk of injury in the intervention group. These effects varied among exercise type, injury type, and sport.

Okobi et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in Sports injuries (n=19,712). Exercise interventions (eccentric, neuromuscular, warm-up, FIFA 11) vs. Control was evaluated on First-time sports injuries (RR 0.672, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.870, p=<0.001). Exercise interventions significantly reduced the overall risk of sports injuries compared to control groups (RR 0.672).
