Abstract

Abstract: This thesis arises from the high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries and the lack of preventive strategies in the local context. The general objective was to evaluate the satisfaction with a comprehensive injury prevention program designed by the authors, which included strengthening exercises, stretching, proprioception, plyometrics, and sport-specific movements. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 65 athletes (10 track and field athletes, 30 futsal players, and 25 soccer players), applying a satisfaction questionnaire developed and validated by experts. Descriptive and validation statistical methods were used for the analysis, obtaining results that showed that 90.8% of the participants considered the program relevant, 87.7% recognized improvements in their physical abilities, 95.4% rated the instruction as clear and didactic, 96.9% expressed overall satisfaction, and 92.3% would recommend it to other teammates. In conclusion, the program proved to be relevant, applicable, and effective, providing local scientific evidence, strengthening the health and performance of athletes, and fostering a culture of prevention in Loja's sports scene.
