Summary

INTRODUCTION. Health education based on interventions with new information and communication technologies. OBJECTIVE. To compare the effectiveness of an educational physiotherapy intervention in footballers, in face-to-face mode (conference) versus an intervention mediated by ICT, on the risk of medical injury with the Functional Movement Screen \[FMS\]. MATERIAL AND METHODS. A randomized clinical trial (RCT) was carried out. The population consisted of 100 participants divided into two groups (ICT n = 50) and (Conference n = 50), with an average age of 18.2 versus 18.3 years for a conference. and ICT respectively.

Detailed description

Recruitment phase: In this phase the athletes were contacted to explain the objectives of the study and the interventions; those who agreed to participate filled out the questionnaire to verify the inclusion and exclusion criteria, later those who met the criteria gave written informed consent. This phase was held in a week in the sports team club Initial evaluation phase: In this phase, the contact form and the general characteristics of the population were filled out and the initial evaluation of knowledge about sports injuries was done in all the participants of the investigation. Likewise, the participants were assigned to each of the two interventions at random. For the random assignment, the Excel 2010® program was used, where random numbers were assigned to the sampling frame. Intervention phase: The educational intervention in health was developed from physiotherapy in each of the groups (conference or mediated by ICT) according to the allocation group as explained below. Final evaluation phase: The final evaluation of knowledge about the prevention of injuries in football was made to both groups of the investigation.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	FMS	The evaluation of the risk of sports injury was obtained from the score in the Functional Movement Screen test suite. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a battery of tests that allows the integral assessment of the risk of injury, evaluating the basic patterns of movement and motor control through the performance of seven tests in which the combination of force is reflected muscle, flexibility, range of motion range, coordination, balance and proprioception
OTHER	TICS	The educational activities were directed to soccer players belonging to Equidad, Bogotá-Colombia. Computerized media were used within the reach of footballers, applied with professionals of physical activity sciences under blind study methodology, using the new tendencies of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Health Education. The investigators counted on the advice of the group manager of knowledge of the secretary of the district of the city of Bogotá. In the educational intervention seven aspects were addressed, distributed in four weekly modules for a total of four months
OTHER	CONFERENCE	The face-to-face educational intervention (conference) consisted of four educational sessions, distributed over four weeks during the sports transition period of the Equity sub-20 team. During these sessions, workshops (conferences) were held with the players following a face-to-face methodology . All these activities were concerted with the multidisciplinary team of the Equity football team and were carried out by the researcher at the University of La Sabana, a physiotherapist, who was studying the needs of the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in football.
