For this reason, it is necessary to try to restrict them to the lowest possible level.<br> <strong>Objectives. </strong>The main objective of this study is to confirm whether clubs that regularly implement prevention programs will have a significantly lower incidence of injuries than clubs that do not implement them or do not implement them regularly.<br> <strong>Methods. </strong>The sample of participants consisted of 340 football players who competed in the highest-ranking competition in Croatian football. Data collection was carried out in a prospective way, where the person in charge of a particular club entered data into the database every two weeks.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>A comparison of the application of preventive programs concerning their nonapplication shows a statistically significant difference in the occurrence of injuries (p<0.009), which means that a significant difference was observed between these programs. The presence of injuries in clubs that use preventive programs is 60.12% compared to 73.45% in clubs that do not use preventive programs.<br> <strong>Conclusion. </strong>It has been confirmed that preventive programs reduce the frequency of injuries in the First Croatian Football League, precisely as the already proven reduction of injuries in other European leagues.</div> FIFA 11+, Football Injuries, Players’ Knowledge, Injury Prevention. 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-1885-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Alen Marosevic alen.marosevic@kif.hr 100319475328460014732 100319475328460014732 No Department of Sport, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia Ivan Belcic ivan.belcic@kif.hr 100319475328460014733 100319475328460014733 Yes Department of Sport, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia Ivan Krakan ivan.krakan@kif.hr 100319475328460014734 100319475328460014734 No Department of Sport, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia
