Abstract

Background/Objective: Studies dealing with the effectiveness of the Fe?de?ration Internationale de Football

Association (FIFA) 11+ prevention program to improve body composition outcomes in obese women aged

30-40 years are limited. This study aimed to point out the effects of the application of FIFA 11+ warm-up

program on body compostion in obese women.

Methods: Participants were 54 obese women, divided into a FIFA 11+ (n = 27; mean (SD) age: 35.29 (2.90)

1. y) and a control group (n = 27; age: 35.29 (2.71) y) and trained for 6 weeks. Before and after the training

period, body composition test were assessed.

Results: The results showed that the FIFA 11+ training program group showed a significant improvement in

the BMI and body fat but there were no significant time and group interaction effects.

Conclusions: The main findings of this study suggest that just 6 weeks of implementation of the FIFA 11+

improves body composition compared in obese women.
