Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of the FIFA 11+ Kids training program on the athletic performance and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores of under-14 male basketball players. A total of 40 participants will be randomly assigned to either a training group or a control group. The training group will follow the FIFA 11+ Kids program for seven weeks, while the control group will continue with regular basketball training. Performance tests-including vertical jump, sprint, agility, standing long jump, and FMS-will be used to assess the impact of the intervention. The goal is to determine whether the FIFA 11+ Kids program can enhance athletic performance and movement quality in youth basketball players.

Detailed description

This study is designed to assess the impact of the FIFA 11+ Kids training program on key athletic performance indicators and movement quality in under-14 male basketball players. The research will involve a randomized controlled trial in which participants will be divided into two groups: an intervention group that undergoes the FIFA 11+ Kids program in addition to their regular basketball training, and a control group that continues with standard basketball training only. The intervention will be implemented over a period of seven weeks, with sessions held four times per week, each lasting approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The program focuses on improving neuromuscular control, balance, and strength through age-appropriate exercises. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include standardized athletic performance tests (vertical jump, sprint, agility, and standing long jump) and movement quality evaluation using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). The study aims to determine whether short-term implementation of the FIFA 11+ Kids program can produce measurable improvements, particularly in explosive power and movement efficiency. Results will guide recommendations for integrating injury-prevention programs into youth basketball training.
