Those studies:
|
|
• Which investigated neuromuscular warm-up strategies without the need for additional equipment other than that readily available at training or competition venues
|
|
• for the prevention of any lower limb injury (hip, thigh, knee, ankle, leg)
|
|
• using functional training
|
|
• could be performed anywhere (for example, on-pitch)
|
|
• without the use of specialist apparatus
|
|
• easily incorporated into regular activity
|
|
• Which are detailed enough for replication
|
|
• Where injury incidence was an outcome
|
|
Exclusion Criteria
|
|
Those studies:
|
|
• Where the intervention is not part of a warm-up program
|
|
• Using home-based exercises due to the poor uptake and regular commitment
|
|
• Using equipment (for example, wobble board training) due to cost and availability
|
|
• Where the intervention included training outside of sporting participation sessions
|
|
• Where participants had an ongoing injury
|
|
• Using no control or comparison group
|
|
• Which were non-peer reviewed articles
|
|
• Of single participant study design
