Football Injury Prevention Training Backed by Science

The Real Cost of Injuries in Football

Injuries don’t just bench players—they disrupt seasons, careers, and team dynamics. Research from the Football Association shows that about 30% of youth footballers miss playing time annually due to injury. For professionals, the cost is even higher—both financially and in lost performance.

That’s why injury prevention is more than a warm-up; it’s a foundation.

Why Most Players Skip the ‘Boring’ Work

Let’s be honest—injury prevention exercises don’t have the flashiest reputation. Many players see them as tedious or secondary to “real training.”

But skipping prehab and mobility work is risky. It leads to muscle imbalances, poor joint stability, and eventually, injuries that could have been avoided.

How Mobility, Strength and Load Management Reduce Risk

Football injury prevention training works when it’s part of a holistic plan, focusing on:

• Mobility: Ensuring joints move through their full range, preventing tightness and compensations.

• Strength: Especially eccentric strength, which helps muscles absorb impact and decelerate safely.

• Load Management: Tracking training intensity and volume to avoid overtraining and under-recovery.

Studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that neuromuscular training protocols can reduce injuries by over 30%. The key is consistent, progressive, and sport-specific work.

What CURVA’s Prehab Tools Cover

CURVA’s approach integrates injury prevention directly into your training plan:
