Injury prevention screening

Screening intrinsic risk factors

• Functional screening

•Adapted FMS

• Flexibility

• Anthropometric

• Girth measurements

• Functional strength tests

• Physical tests

• Jump tests

1. Screen Intrinsic risk factors

2. Analyse workload

3. Monitor players

Individual risk profile Most susceptible body

zones Develop appropriate

prevention programs

Injury Prediction Algorithm

Individual risk

profile

• Compare 2 or more moments in time

• Injury sensitive zones • Evolution through

adapted program • Quality control
