Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of initial injuries.	Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period.	At the end of the intervention season (6 months).
Primary	The incidence of recurrent injuries	Recurrent injury is defined as a repeat episode of a fully recovered injury. Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.	At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
Secondary	injury severity	Defined as time loss in days (days unable to train): minor (1 to 7 days lost), moderate (8 to 21 days lost), or severe (>21 days lost). Injury severity data will be collected from Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form.	At time of any injury occurring throughout intervention soccer season (6 months)
Secondary	Compliance with the intervention	the rate of compliance	At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
