摘要：Introduction:The World Health Organization (WHO) has pointed out that injuries caused by falls are the second leading cause of death in terms of accidents. The WHO emphasized that, intervention strategies should focus on education, training, creating a safer environment, reducing risks, and on the research of falls.Material and methods:A systematic literature review was concluded for screening the data sources of databases.The systematic review was based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses) criteria which provides a clear protocol over traditional literature reviews analysing as much of the literature as possible in a non-selective, bias-free, and reproducible way with respect to a given research topic. Results:The total number of patients studied in the 6 studies involved in the qualitative study was 4791. In three cases there was a control group and an intervention group and in three articles only one intervention group was examined. Four of the most recent studies used INFOSECA (The Information Scale on Safe Ways of Falling) score system to measure the position of the neck, trunk, hips, knees and hands, as the five basic elements during a backwards fall. These studies applied “Safe Fall, Safe Schools” programme (SFSSP) which is a good practice which can help in the prevention of injuries and resulting good health.The reviewed studies showed significant changes in correct motor responses to backwards falls.Discussion:The Safe Fall training program was successful in Physical Education classes in training appropriate motor responses to a fall in young children. The results suggest that the participants in the safe fall program, are at less risk of injury associated with a falls. This approach to prevent the harmful consequences of falls is a novel tool, which coincides with one of the needs raised by the WHO regarding the implementation of educational programmes based on falls research. The proposal for implementation for the safe fall program constitutes a step forward for fall prevention programmes, as it responds in a preventive and proactive way to the problem for public health and safety posed by backward falls in the school population. Conclusion:From the selected literature it is visible that by using the„Safe Fall Safe Schools” program proved effective to teach adolescent fall techniques.The program is able to improve motor ability, it can achieve statistically significant development in motor responses of backward fall by adolescents.
