Clinical Trial Summary
Several studies have shown that football practice regulates bone remodeling, producing an
increase of bone mineral density and reducing the risk of fractures. Thus, the aim of this
study is to evaluate the effect of football practice on the regulation of bone turnover in
Spanish adult football players. Thanks to the collaboration agreement "Aula Endavant" the
Villarreal CF participates as a collaborator in this Project. This agreement allows us to use
their facilities and to analyze several football players' data.
Description:
Several studies have shown that football practice regulates bone remodeling, producing an
increase of bone mineral density and reducing the risk of fractures. These studies are mainly
performed in adolescents and there are few results obtained from European adults subjects.
Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of football practice on the regulation
of bone turnover in Spanish adult football players. Secondary objectives include: describing
bone mineral density values, evaluating percentage of total lean mass and body fat,
describing dietary and physical habits and analyzing blood tests of professional football
players. As well as, they include updating the current state of knowledge of the influence of
sports on bone. Thanks to the collaboration agreement "Aula Endavant" the Villarreal CF
participates as a collaborator in this Project. This agreement allows us to use their
facilities and to analyze several football players' data. In addition, different members of
the club will directly participate as researchers during the development of this study.
One of the strengths of this study is that the data were obtained from two consecutive
seasons of an elite soccer team.
One of the potential limitations that we have faced in this study is that in order to obtain
a large sample, it is necessary to analyse the soccers from two consecutive seasons, which
makes the study temporarily longer than desired.
