Trial summary

The prevention of injuries has a close relation with the proprioception. In this sense, the proprioception is defined as the information about the corporal and segmental movement, as well as the position of the body and the corporal segments of oneself in the space. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects Between Two Multimodal-programs of Exercises on Joint Position Sense, Dynamic Postural Balance and Counter Movement Jump in Male Soccer Players.

The prevention of injuries has a close relation with the proprioception. In this sense, the proprioception is defined as the information about the corporal and segmental movement, as well as the position of the body and the corporal segments of oneself in the space. Some authors divide the proprioception into kinesthesia and the Joint Position Sense (JPS).

The hypothesis of the study is the implantation of a progressive multimodal exercise protocol with transferences to sport in the trainings of amateur male soccer players in the age range from 18 to 30 years, can decrease the adverse effects of the fatigue during the high intensity activities and its relation with the JPS. Due to the close relation between fatigue and incidence of injuries, the obtaining of positive results could be an important finding for the design of prevention and rehabilitation protocols in soccer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IAI Exercises ProtocolOther

    Progressive exercises to improve the strength and propioception of the male soccer players.

  • FIFA 11+Other

    Progressive exercises protocol to prevent injuries in male soccer players which has been created by "FIFA". It is based in different body wieght exercises to improve the neuromuscular control and stabilization.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Joint Position Sense of the knee

    A digital inclinometer (range measured in degreesº) was used to assess knee Joint Position Sense in a Closed Kinetic Chain using an active modality (athletes actively reached and maintained the knee). The athletes did three trials to the target position. The average of three trials was used to compared with the target position to obtain the absolute error and relative error.

    Measured: Was measured at baseline (realized before the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before the training), ten weeks (before the training) and three months (realized before the trainng)

  2. Joint Position Sense of the knee after the training

    A digital inclinometer (range measured in degreesº) was used to assess knee Joint Position Sense in a Closed Kinetic Chain using an active modality (athletes actively reached and maintained the knee). The athletes did three trials to the target position. The average of three trials was used to compared with the target position to obtain the absolute error and relative error.

    Measured: Was measured at baseline (realized after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized after the training) and three months (realized after the trainng)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Fatigue

    The effort perception was measured with Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (Borg RPE), a 15-point single-item scale ranging from 6 to 20 (with anchors ranging from 6 "No exertion" to 20 "Maximum exertion") (little or no effort) to 20 (maximun exertion) scores

    Measured: Was measured at baseline (after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, after the training), and three months (after the training

  2. Lateral Step Down Test

    Five consecutive test repetitions were then performed. The examiner were positioned 3 m in front of the subject during the test. The examiner evaluated the performance of the test simultaneously and scored the test on a 6-point scale (0-5), according to the criteria outlined by Piva et al. A total score of 0 to 1 was classified as "good" quality of movement, a total score of 2 to 3 was classified as "moderate" quality of movement, and a total score of 4 to 5 was classified as "poor" quality of movement.

    Measured: Was measured at baseline (realized before and after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before and after the training), ten weeks (realized only before the training) and three months (realized before and after the training

  3. Counter movement jump

    Measured by app "My Jump 2", participants performed each CMJ with hands on their hips, starting from a static standing position and with their legs straight during the flight phase of the jump. The landing was performed simultaneously with either feet keeping ankle dorsiflexion. Participants were instructed to jump as high as possible.

    Measured: Was measured at baseline (realized before and after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before and after the training), ten weeks (realized only before the training) and three months (realized before and after the training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IAI Exercises Protocol and FIFA 11+ in people with Sports Physical Therapy, run by University of Alcala at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Joint Position Sense of the knee (time frame: Was measured at baseline (realized before the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before the training), ten weeks (before the training) and three months (realized before the trainng)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Nov 2018.
