About this study

Official title: The Relationship of Acute-Chronic Workload Ratio and Functional Movement Screen With Injury Risk in Adolescent Team Sport Players

In this study, we examine how acute to chronic workload ratio and functional movement screen scores relate to injury risk in teenage athletes who play team sports.

Read the detailed description

At least 60 volunteer athletes who have played team sport for at least 1 year, have not been away from the field for more than 2 weeks, 15 years and older are planned to include this study. All participating athletes in this study will sign an informed consent form then their demographic information will be recorded. The injury risk of athletes will be evaluated by functional movement screen. The functional movement screen is a test battery consisting of 7 tests. These tests are deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, rotary stability and shoulder mobility. To calculate the acute-chronic workload, internal workloads during training and/or matches will be added up over a period of 8 weeks. As part of the study, health professionals on the team will provide injury information for the athletes. Sports injuries will be classified based on the type of injury (contact or non-contact) and the area of the body affected. The severity of the injury will be determined as follows: minimal (1-3 days of missed sports activity), mild (4-7 days of missed sports activity), moderate (1-4 weeks of missed sports activity), and severe (4 or more weeks of missed sports activity).

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional Movement Screen

    To assess the risk of injury, we will utilize the Functional Movement Screen.The FMS test scores range from 0 to 3, with 0 being the worst and 3 being the best. The highest possible score is 21. Individuals who score 14 points or lower are at a higher risk for injury, while those who score above 14 points have a lower risk of injury.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Acute chronic workload ratio

    To determine an athlete's workload, we ask them to rate their training time and fatigue level using the modified Borg scale after each session. We then calculate the workload by dividing the acute workload by the chronic workload using specific formulas.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Injury

    The input will be provided by the health professionals on the team.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Injury;Sports, run by Hacettepe University.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Aynur Demirel (+903123051576, aynur.demirel@hacettepe.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Functional Movement Screen (time frame: baseline). The study lists 3 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 21 Aug 2023.
