The research examines the efficacy of this Swedish injury prevention exercise program (IPEP) on sports performance and jump-landing technique among 14-year-old football players. The studies include randomized trials and qualitative analyses to evaluate the adoption and effectiveness of the Knee Control program. Results indicate limited positive effects on jump-landing technique, particularly in female players, but no significant improvements in performance tests. The dissertation also explores the adoption and use of the program by coaches, highlighting the need for social support and resources to enhance program implementation. Intended for an academic audience, the work aims to contribute to the understanding and development of injury prevention strategies in youth sports. ER -
