Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to identify and measure the awareness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) prevention programs among professional and semi-professional soccer players in the Qassim region.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by interviewing the professional players in the Qassim region and using an online questionnaire for the semi-professional players. The questionnaire and the interview were designed to assess awareness and interest in preventive training programs (PTPs).
Results: In total, 740 soccer players were surveyed. The predominant age bracket was 21-25 years, comprising 45.8% of the participants. A notable 28.8% participated in tournaments. Awareness of ACL preventive programs was observed among 12.2% of the players. In a multivariate regression analysis, factors such as prior ACL injury history, education concerning ACL injuries, and ongoing engagement in ACL PTPs emerged as significant independent predictors influencing awareness of ACL PTPs.
Conclusion: Athletes demonstrated limited awareness of ACL preventive programs. Factors such as prior ACL injury history, education about ACL injuries, and active participation in ACL injury prevention programs were identified as significant drivers for increased awareness of ACL PTPs. Moreover, the involvement of physical therapists and coaches played an important role in enhancing athletes’ understanding of ACL PTP concepts.

Key words: ACL injury, soccer player, preventive training program, awareness
