Injury prevention is a fundamental component of athlete health and performance management, particularly in high-demand sports such as football. Young football players are at an elevated risk for musculoskeletal injuries due to repetitive loading, inadequate conditioning, and rapid growth phases. Effective physiotherapy interventions can mitigate these risks by improving strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control. However, the success of such interventions may depend not only on clinical protoco...

Coach-supported physiotherapy emphasizes collaboration between physiotherapists and coaches to integrate preventive strategies directly into training environments. This multidisciplinary approach facilitates real-time feedback, reinforces correct movement mechanics, and enhances compliance with prescribed exercises. Despite its potential, there is limited evidence comparing coach-supported physiotherapy with standard physiotherapy practices in the context of young football players.

The present study aims to evaluate whether physiotherapy programs that include active coach involvement lead to greater reductions in injury rates and severity compared to standard physiotherapy sessions conducted without coaching integration.
