Earlier studies on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">showed that coaches often modify programme content and\/or dosage to work around barriers for programme use [1-2]. To improve programme feasibility and adherence, in extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> we added five extra exercise variations\/progressions for each of the six main exercises in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to fit young as well as senior players. We also tried to make recommendations for programme use easier and more flexible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How did the study go about this?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We conducted a study in one regional football district in Sweden in 2020, where teams were randomised to use extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">or an adductor strength programme. Teams who already used an IPEP on a regular basis took part in a non-randomised comparison group. In total, 502 male and female players (mean age 20.0\u00b15.7 years) were included. Players responded to weekly questionnaires about occurrence of injury based on the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center questionnaire, and their exposure to training and matches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teams using extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">were recommended to use the programme on every training session for 15-20 minutes, 30-60 seconds per exercise and two sets. The adductor strength programme exercises and dosage were initially identical to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adductor Strengthening Programme<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that has shown positive effects on groin injury rates in male sub-elite players \u00a0 \u00a0 [7]. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we added two extra single-player exercises to avoid close contact, adductor squeeze with bent and with straight legs [8].\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What did the study find?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We found 29% lower incidence of injuries to the hamstring, knee and ankle in extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> compared to the comparison group (Figure 1). To prevent one injury in the hamstring, knee or ankle, seven players would have to perform extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> during one season. We also saw 42-48% lower incidence of time-loss injuries in extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> compared to the other two groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Figure 1.\u00a0 Injury incidence rates (IR) and 95% confidence intervals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10330\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/12\/fig-1-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/12\/fig-1-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/12\/fig-1-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/12\/fig-1-640x378.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/12\/fig-1.jpg 904w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We found 17-26% lower hamstring, knee and ankle injury prevalence rates in extended <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knee Control<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> compared to the adductor and comparison group respectively (Figure 2).

The results are particularly interesting considering that the comparison group may already have had a relatively speaking low injury risk from having used preventive exercises on a regular basis at least the previous season. No effect was seen from the adductor programme but this group was smaller than the other groups and particularly included few male players, rendering low power. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">References<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Lindblom H, Wald\u00e9n M, Carlfjord S, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
