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.

The neuromuscular injury prevention intervention protocol contains field work activities that involve proprioceptive exercises, flexibility, and specific and general muscle strength of the MMII and trunk soccer players.
Treatment or experimental condition. 1: FIFA 11+ Program
Autonoma's University
Manizales, Caldas Department, Colombia
Preventive program (Type of)
Neuromuscular and functional training protocol
Time frame: 12 weeks
Ankle instability perception
Two measures were performed for each patient; Cumberland Ankle Instability Questionnaire (CAIT): 30 points no instability; less than 27 points presence of ankle instability. (applied pre and post intervention moments)
Time frame: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week
Measurement flexibility (centimeters)
Two measures were performed for each patient; of the ankle joint (Lunge test) and chain of the lower limb (sit and reach: (BSSR); measurement in centimeters (cm), report of negative values or less than 0 cm, presence of retraction was lost. Both before and after the test.(applied pre and post intervention moments)
Time frame: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week
Limits of stability - balance (millimeters)
Two measures were performed for each patient;Dynamic and static balance with eyes open and closed, in a movement analysis laboratory, measured in millimeters -mm. (Applied moments pre and post intervention)
Time frame: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week
Measured with conduction velocity in seconds under maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)
Two measures were performed for each patient; surface electromyography, musculature - at 25 percentage, 50 percentage and 75 percentage of muscle activation. (moments before and after the intervention).
Time frame: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week
