Methods: Two teams of Iranian young soccer league (2017-2018) who accepted to join the study were randomly divided into the experimental (N=25) and control (N=29) groups. During the study period, the experimental group performed the DSP program 3 times per week for warming up before training and competition. Control group continued its routines warm up program. Having confirmed by a physician, injuries occurred during the season were recorded in the injury registration form. Chi- square analysis test was used to compare the injuries between two groups. 
Results: Results indicated a significant difference in knee injuries between two groups as players in experimental group were injured less than control group (P=0.029); while there was no significant difference between two groups in ankle injuries (P=0.518).
