The primary objective of this program is to provide a comprehensive understanding of injury mechanisms and the factors involved in how football players sustain injuries. To achieve this, the content is structured into two modules: the first focuses on joint injuries, while the second addresses muscular and tendinous injuries. This division represents a foundational classification of injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system, chosen because the mechanisms and loads that impact these tissues differ markedly.

The first module, comprising the first two conceptual axes, focuses on joint injuries. The first axis describes the different movement, jumping, and ball-striking skills typically performed by football players. The second axis focuses on the injury biomechanics of lower-limb and lumbar spine joint pathologies, with special attention given to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, due to their high incidence and severity.

The second module, corresponding to conceptual axes three and four, examines muscular and tendinous injuries. The third axis focuses on injurious loading patterns that primarily affect muscle and tendon structures, particularly traction forces, which are linked to the elastic properties of these tissues. This axis also addresses repetitive loading mechanisms as a potential origin of certain overuse injuries, which can lead to either acute or more prolonged injury mechanisms.The fourth axis analyzes the mechanisms underlying the most common muscular and tendinous injuries in football players.
