It is anticipated that 500 participants, which approximates to 250 in each group, will be enrolled in the trial. The enrollment process will cease when at least 250 participants have been allocated to the intervention group. Only athletes participating in indoor sports with a history of a lateral ankle sprain in the preceding 24 months are eligible for inclusion in the trial. The participants will be randomized (1:1 allocation ratio) using numbered lots. The randomization process will ensure stratification for gender, sports discipline and level of play.
