Summary

Objetive:To determine the effects of a functional ankle instability prevention neuromuscular training (PENMT) program compared to the conventional FIFA 11+ program on the occurrence of ankle sprains, flexibility, balance and muscle activation in 17-year-old male youth soccer players to 20 years. Subjects and Methods: An experimental investigation, controlled, randomized and single-blind clinical trial was carried out in 40 subjects randomized to start the control or experimental group (soccer Players). The trial compared the effects of a differential intervention with a protocol focused on an ankle neuromuscular training program vs the usual FIFA 11+ program, in order to strengthen functional ankle stability in youth soccer in male players. In each subject, 2 measurements were taken: Pre-intervention and Post-intervention. For each measurement, a hypothesis test was performed. Results: The FIFA11+ is expressed as an injury risk factor when buying it with the PENMT after their participation. Conclusion:The neuromuscular training program for the ankle or PENMT applied in the experimental group did not generate a negative effect with respect to the FIFA 11+ program, in addition to the time of departure in the post test, the PENMT program is expressed as a protection factor of player injuries when contrasted with the FIFA 11+ program, that is, it presents effectiveness against the risk factor of functional ankle instability.
