AI-Based Hamstring Injury Risk Analysis and Effects of the FUNBALL Program
Sponsor: Yeditepe University
Summary
This study investigates hamstring injury risk in football players using artificial intelligence-based motion analysis (OpenPose) and evaluates the effects of a targeted exercise intervention (FUNBALL). Hamstring risk is assessed during a 30-m sprint using sagittal-plane video analysis, and players classified as medium or high risk receive a four-month FUNBALL program. A pre-post intervention design is employed, with sprint performance, agility, balance, jumping ability, kicking power, and cognitive function assessed using standardized field and cognitive tests.

FUNBALL Prevention Program
The FUNBALL Prevention Program is an evidence-based injury prevention exercise program described in the literature. The program was developed by Obertinca et al. and has been shown to reduce thigh muscle injury incidence by approximately 38% in football players. In the present study, the FUNBALL program is implemented as a structured training intervention aimed at reducing hamstring injury risk.
