Other research projects of F-MARC address the injuries of referees, the methods of age determination at youth competitions, the use of medication and nutritional supplements during FIFA competitions, the influence of fasting during Ramadan on performance as well as the significance of certain environmental conditions such as heat or altitude in football.

More recently, F-MARC extended their scope to the lay public and started to educate players, coaches and the football family on different aspects of health and prevention.

Based on scientific evidence, a section "Players' Health" on FIFA.com ( www.fifa.com/medical) now presents information on the prevention of injuries, health checks, nutrition and doping in understandable language.

Further, lay booklets have been published on "Nutrition for football", "Fight against doping in football" as well as "Health and fitness for the female football player" (see document links on the right).
