Abstract

Different studies show that training load is an important cause in the involvement of sports injuries and have identified variables such as the volume and intensity of training that are key to injury prevention. The objective of this study is to reduce the incidence of injuries by implementing six preventive measures. The study included 12 players of the first team of "Sala 10 Zaragoza" of the First Division of the Futsal League of Spain. This is a longitudinal comparative study of the incidence of injuries in the 2016-2017 season and the 2004-2005 season. The results obtained reveal a total of 28 and 108 registered injuries and a lesion incidence of 6.86 and 19.72 during the 2016-2017 season and the 2004-2005 season, respectively. The number of match minutes lost was much lower in the 2016-2017 season, compared to the 2004-2005 season, 6,660 versus 31,500 minutes.
