About this study
Official title: A Core Training Protocol Achieves Improvements in Function, Motor Control and Endurance Strength Compared to a Traditional Abdomen Exercise Protocol: a Randomised Controlled Trial.
The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of core stability exercises to increase motor control, function and resistance strength of the abdominal muscles, compared to a traditional abdominal and trunk exercise program in semi-professionals soccer players
Read the detailed description
The 51 participants were semi-professional soccer player and were divided into two different groups using a computer system: the CORE-group or ABDOMINALS-group. Four weeks of training were developed. Outcome variables: Back extension test; Flexion endurance test; FMS; functional movement screen; lateral muscle test right; lateral muscle test left. Kinematic variables were recorded during the test using an accelerometer. A comparison intra-group and intergroup were developed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Core trainingOther
A total of 12 sessions were carried out, which lasted for 4 weeks, with a frequency of 3 sessions/ week. The duration of each session was 11 minutes 30 seconds. The working time of each exercise was 30 seconds with a 5 seconds rest between exercises, meaning that each exercise cycle lasted for 2.50 seconds. Three exercise cycles were performed with a 90 seconds rest between each one of them
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Core Group | Experimental | The Core Group carried out core stability exercises. Their training consisted of the following exercises: bridge, Klapp, front plank and lateral plank Receives: Other: Core training |
| Abdominal Group | Active comparator | The Abdominal Group performed traditional exercises: trunk flexion or abdominal crunch, trunk extensions, lower abdominals with hip lifts and crunch with crossed legs Receives: Other: Core training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional Movement Screen
motor control and functionality in movement
Measured: 5 minutes
McGill test
resistance strength of the abdominal muscle
Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Core training in people with Functional Performance and Resistance Training, run by Dr. Manuel González-Sánchez 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 4 Jun 2021. 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?
Functional Movement Screen (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 4 Jun 2021.
