Question 1

The FIFA 11+ warm-up program is designed to prevent injuries in which sport?

Accepted Answer

Soccer (football)

Answer

FIFA 11+ is a structured 20-minute warm-up program developed for amateur soccer players, shown to reduce injuries by up to 50%.

Question 2

Which landing mechanics are associated with increased ACL injury risk in female athletes?

Accepted Answer

Knee valgus, reduced knee flexion, and upright trunk during landing

Answer

Knee valgus collapse, minimal knee flexion, and upright trunk during landing increase ACL strain, and these patterns are more prevalent in female athletes.

Question 3

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) peaks at approximately:

Accepted Answer

24–72 hours post-exercise

Answer

DOMS typically peaks 24–72 hours after unaccustomed eccentric exercise due to inflammatory response and micro-structural muscle damage.

Question 4

Which warm-up component has been shown to most effectively reduce hamstring strain risk?

Accepted Answer

Progressive dynamic warm-up with neuromuscular activation

Answer

Progressive dynamic warm-up programs that include neuromuscular activation (e.g., Nordic hamstring curls) have the strongest evidence for reducing hamstring strain incidence.

Question 5

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is used in sports rehab primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Gain muscle hypertrophy and strength at low loads after injury

Answer

BFR training restricts venous outflow during low-load exercise (20–30% 1RM), creating metabolic stress that drives muscle hypertrophy without high mechanical loading.
