About this study
Official title: Effect of a Preventive Exercise Progam on Lower-limb Injuries in Adolescent Futsal Players: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
The main aim of this study is to analyse the effect of a preventive exercise program (INSPIRE: Indoor Sports Injury Prevention) on the lower-limb injuries in adolescent futsal players. For this purpose, 26 adolescent futsal players will be recruited, and after baseline evaluation, they will be randomized either the standard care, that will undergo the standard strengthening program developed each year in their team, or the experimental group, that will undergo the INSPIRE program, based on three stages (motor control, strength and endurance, and propioception and neural workout). Both groups will develop a 8-week intervention. Regarding the evaluation, the participants will have three evaluations: baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks, and they will complete validated questionnaries (Overuse Injury Questionnaire, and Return to Play Score), together with functional tests (Y-Balance Test), strength testing using a dynamometer, and motor control testing using force plates.

ExerciseOther
INSPIRE PROGRAM. Exercise program based in three stages: 1. Motor control and motor relearning: based on basic movement patterns and muscle chains, together with selective activation of muscles such as gluteus, aductors, hamstrings, quadricepts, gastrocnemius, and peroneus, using closed kinetic chain exercises. 2. Strength and endurance: based on strengthening the aforementioned muscles, using pushing and reception exercises, together with long efforts. 3. Propioception and neural workout: based on the training on propioception in stable and unstable surfaces, together with exercise of acceleration, decceleration, direction changes, and dual tasks.

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2026. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
OSTRC (time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks). 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 15 Jun 2026.
