Floorball is a relatively young sport (founded in 1986) compared to others like soccer or ice hockey however has a rapid growing community.

Floorball is played on an indoor rink measuring 40 × 20 m enclosed by 50 cm high boarders.

A standard floorball (approx. 23 g) comprises 26 holes, is composed of plastic and shows a hollow design. It further provides dimples to reduce air resistance which allows top speeds up to 200 km/h [1].

Knee and ankle joint are two of the most affected injury sites besides head and neck. Collisions with opponents, predisposing factors, equipment (stick, ball) and overuse are the most common reasons for injuries in floorball [2].

Neuromuscular training can prevent sports related injuries in floorball.
