Introduction: Dynamic postural control is the basis of the athletic performance that plays a major role of sports activities (1, 2). Inappropriate postural adjustments and abnormal dynamic loading on the knee joint, causing ACL ligament injury while performing the Cutting maneuvers (3, 4).Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 11+ exercises on the postural control of young futsal women player during the performance of the cutting maneuver. Methodology:In this study, 16 players, without any history of lower limb injury, were randomly divided into two groups (8 experimental and 8 control group).The control group performed their usual exercises.The experimental group first performed the FIFA 11+ injury prevention training as a warm-up and then did futsal training (3 sessions per week for 6 weeks). Dynamic postural variations of subjects during the cutting maneuver and crossing the defensewere measured with the force plate. Mean and standard deviation of variations in the center of pressure (Cop) and the velocity of Cop were extracted in the anterio - posterior and medial - lateral direction.Covariance analysis of variance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the data (05 / 0P≤). Results:The results showed that the mean and standard deviation of variations in the Cop and the variations in the Cop velocity in the anterior - posterior and medio - lateral direction in the post test were significantly different between the two groups. Discussion: Due to the reduction of balance indices in the experimental group, it seems that performing balance exercises to warm up can improve the athlete's lower extremity control and prevents common injuries by improving the neuromuscular performance. Therefore, this study showed that the FIFA 11+ prevention program can improve dynamic balance in women's futsal player during Cutting maneuver.
