About this study

Official title: Comparative Effects of Hip Thrust Versus Back Squats Resistance Training on Strength, Power and Speed Among Footballer Players

The purpose of this study is to find which resistance training program hip thrust or back squats will enhance the performance that benefits the strength, power and speed in football players.

Read the detailed description

In previous study there is less literature in determining the comparative effect of hip thrust and back squat resistance training on performance among footballer players. Therefore there is a dire need to explore the effects of these resistance training exercises. This study aims to observe the effect of hip thrust and back squat resistance training on strength, power and speed in footballer players.

What participants receive

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

  • Hip thrustOther

    The subjects in Hip Thrust (HT) group will be instructed to perform low-load gluteus activation exercises, which included single-leg bridges, clamshells and quadruped hip extensions. One set of ten repetitions or steps will perform for each exercise. In this training program three stages which focused on enhancing hypertrophy and strength of the hip extensors in sequence. During the training period, the subjects will be instructed to maintain their usual daily activities and diet. All subjects will complete 18 sessions at a frequency of 3 sessions per week and with at least 48 hours between the sessions. Hip thrust training 3 sets with 10 repetitions in each set and 2 minutes rest between each set.

  • Back squatOther

    In Back Squat (BS) resistance training the subjects starts with the standing position with the feet flat on the floor, the knees and hips in a neutral, extended anatomical position, and the spine in an upright position with preservation of its natural curves. The squat movement will begin with the descent phase as the hips, knee and ankles flex. A common instruction will be given to the subjects to descend until the top of the thigh is at least parallel with ground and the hip joint is at least level with or slightly below the knee joint. All subjects will complete 18 sessions at a frequency of 3 sessions per week and with at least 48 hours between sessions. Back squat training 3 sets with 10 repetitions in each set \& 2 minutes rest between each set.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Fat Caliper Mass Measurement

    Body composition measurement is an important assessment technique in sports. Body composition parameters can provide valuable information regarding the amount and ratios of certain tissue components within the body depending on the instrumentation used. In general, parameters such as body fat percentage, fat-free mass, and lean body mass are measured directly, or estimated based on prediction equations or indirect measurements. Skinfold measurement utilizes a caliper to obtain a measure of subcutaneous adiposity (skinfold thickness) at selected sites throughout the body using a double fold of gripped skin

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. 1-Repetition Maximum

    1-Repetition Maximum is the gold standard for evaluating strength and defined as maximal weight that can be lifted once while maintaining the correct lifting technique. In 1-Repetition maximum eccentric actions are usually coupled with concentric actions which is more reflective of dynamic muscle actions that are commonly used in resistance training and of natural movement in most activities of sports and daily living. This measure has high test-retest reliability of ICC >0.91

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Countermovement Jump Test

    Countermovement Jump Test is commonly used for monitoring status (supercompensation on performance, strength and power muscle) from the analysis of bilateral mechanics and the ability to absorb ground reaction forces by the lower extremity. Conversely, it is expected that the vertical performance is strongly linked to the mechanical variables responsible for the force production, and in turn, the contribution of the elastic elements and joint stability. Intra rater class reliability of countermovement jump test=0.903 to 0.934

    Measured: 6 weeks

  4. Sprint Test

    Sprint test require skill characteristics that involve the capacity to produce higher velocities to run a set distance within a lower time. Furthermore, this can require the capacity to generate maximal force and power in the direction of running. The profile can be divided into three phases and obtaining their mechanical descriptions can improve the athletes sporting performance and prevent injuries. The aim of this test is to determine quickness of ICC >0.987

    Measured: 6 weeks
