University of Iowa Sports Medicine clinicians support the FIFA 11+ complete warm-up program to reduce lower extremity (LE) injury.
Of the injury risk programs, the FIFA 11+ is:
- One of the most studied and validated for soccer injury prevention.
- Up to 30-40% reduction in LE injury as a result of integrating into practice as a pre-participation warm up.
- Primary focus w/FIFA 11+ is in LE and trunk positioning while performing running, strength training, plyometrics and balance exercises.
- Field set up is easy and simple, and full warm up is completed in 20 minutes.
- These warm up videos are intended for athletes age 13 and over
Please note:
We made these videos before the COVID-19 pandemic. UI Health Care staff follow our most current guidance to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment when seeing patients.
