The efficacy of a movement control exercise programme to reduce injuries in youth rugby: a cluster randomised controlled trial

摘要

BackgroundInjuries to youth rugby players have become an increasingly prominent health concern, highlighting the importance of developing and implementing appropriate preventive strategies. A growing body of evidence from other youth sports has demonstrated the efficacy of targeted exercise regimens to reduce injury risk. However, studies have yet to investigate the effect of such interventions in youth contact sport populations like rugby union.
