Intervention model description: For the process of imparting health education strategies in face-to-face (conference) and ICT-mediated mode, a 4-week time was estimated where 4 educational sessions were held at a rate of one each week, lasting about 40 minutes, for part of two physiotherapists experts in the theme of injury prevention around the conceptual elements of human body movement, warm-up phases, postural hygiene, sports hygiene, nutrition and clothing. Interventions were carried out simultaneously in both groups of the study, so that one researcher taught the lecture modality in person (conference group), and the other supervised the participants while using the computers of the sports training institution.
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: INTRODUCTION. Health education based on interventions with new information and communication technologies.

OBJECTIVE. To compare the effectiveness of an educational physiotherapy intervention in footballers, in face-to-face mode (conference) versus an intervention mediated by ICT, on the risk of medical injury with the Functional Movement Screen \[FMS\].

MATERIAL AND METHODS. A randomized clinical trial (RCT) was carried out. The population consisted of 100 participants divided into two groups (ICT n = 50) and (Conference n = 50), with an average age of 18.2 versus 18.3 years for a conference. and ICT respectively.

Detailed description: Recruitment phase: In this phase the athletes were contacted to explain the objectives of the study and the interventions; those who agreed to participate filled out the questionnaire to verify the inclusion and exclusion criteria, later those who met the criteria gave written informed consent. This phase was held in a week in the sports team club Initial evaluation phase: In this phase, the contact form and the general characteristics of the population were filled out and the initial evaluation of knowledge about sports injuries was done in all the participants of the investigation. Likewise, the participants were assigned to each of the two interventions at random. For the random assignment, the Excel 2010® program was used, where random numbers were assigned to the sampling frame.

Intervention phase: The educational intervention in health was developed from physiotherapy in each of the groups (conference or mediated by ICT) according to the allocation group as explained below.

Final evaluation phase: The final evaluation of knowledge about the prevention of injuries in football was made to both groups of the investigation.
