NCT ID: NCT05711069 Completed - Core Stability Clinical Trials

Core Stabilization Programme on Kicking Velocity and Performance in Male Adolescent Football Players

Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Core stability is an important component maximising efficient athletic function. Function is most often produced by the kinetic chain, the coordinate sequenced activation of body segments that places the distal segment in the optimum position at the optimum velocity with the optimum timing to produce the desired athletic task. Speed and power are critical performance factors in football. Football including jumping, kicking, tackling, turning, sprinting, changing pace, and sustaining forceful contractions to maintain balance and control of the ball against defensive pressure. In the literature, no study has demonstrated the effectiveness of core stability exercise program in adolescent football players.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercise program on adolescent male football players.

NCT ID: NCT05452109 Completed - Exercise Clinical Trials

Effect of Blood Flow Restriction on Football-Related Performance Parameters

Start date: December 12, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The blood flow restriction method can have similar or superior effects to high-intensity exercises even in a short duration, which can positively affect some performance parameters, can be applied with low-intensity load and cause hypertrophy in the muscle by providing high metabolic stress, facilitating muscle growth without significantly changing the total training dose. The aim of this study is to investigate whether adding the blood flow restriction method to the classical training program can be more effective than the classical training applied alone in the development of football-related performance parameters.

NCT ID: NCT04642131 Suspended - Fatigue Clinical Trials

Effect of Caffeine Supplementation and Personalized Insoles on Females

Start date: December 9, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Several studies have shown the positive effect that caffeine has on athletic performance related variables. Nonetheless, most studies have been developed in males and have not studied the possible effects on biomechanics and related injuries. Moreover, the inclusion of personalized insoles could also affect biomechanical patterns and thus injury incidence that has shown to be higher when athletes are fatigued. Therefore, the aim of the present randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of fatigue, caffeine supplementation and personalized insoles on biomechanics and athletic performance in female adult soccer players.

NCT ID: NCT04113031 Completed - SOCCER Clinical Trials

Flywheel Squats Versus Free Weight High Load Squats for Explosive Actions in Football

Start date: January 15, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of flywheel resistance exercise versus free weight high load low velocity resistance exercise, where both modalities are carried out in a squat exercise with maximal intended mobilization of force contractions and combined with football practices, on 10 meter sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ) and one repeition maximum (1RM) partial 90° range of motion (ROM) squat strength in football players. The investigators 1) hypothesize that resistance exercise using flywheels and barbell free weights (BFW) combined with football practices will equally improve sprint time and jump height, and 2) the investigators hypothesize that squats carried out in a BFW exercise will result in superior improvements in 1RM partial squat compared with flywheel squats.

NCT ID: NCT04048928 Completed - Strength Training Clinical Trials

Maximal Strength Training in High-level Female Football Players

Start date: February 10, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Maximal strength increments are reported to result in improvements in sprint speed and jump height in elite male football players. Although similar effects are expected in females, this is yet to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of maximal strength training on sprint speed and jump height in high-level female football players. Methods: Two female football teams were team-cluster-randomized to a training group (TG) performing maximal strength training (MST) twice a week for five weeks, or control group (CG) doing their regular pre-season preparations. The MST consisted of 3-4 sets of 4-6 repetitions at ≥85% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM) in a squat exercise. Sprint speed and jump height were assessed in 5-, 10- and 15 meter sprints and a counter-movement jump (CMJ) test, respectively. 19 participants in TG (18.3 ± 2.7 years) and 14 in CG (18.3 ± 2.4 years) completed pre- and posttests and were carried forward for final analyses.

NCT ID: NCT03683758 Completed - Exercise Clinical Trials

Effects of the FIFA11+ Warm-up Program on Speed, Agility, and Vertical Jump Performance in Adult Female Amateur Soccer Players

FIFA
Start date: September 6, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is being conducted for a master's dissertation. Our goal is to determine if there are physical performance benefits to performing the FIFA11+ soccer warm-up program in adult female soccer players over an eight week period. This topic has been studied primarily using male soccer players. The performance effects in adult female soccer players is currently unknown. This warm-up has been shown to reduce non-contact injury rates in soccer players aged >13. If performance benefits are demonstrated in this study, in addition to the reported injury reduction benefits of the FIFA11+ warm-up, program adherence and player performance could improve.

NCT ID: NCT03593733 Completed - Fatigue Clinical Trials

Comparison Between Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) and a Cold-Water Immersion (CWI) in Recovery Soccer Player: Analysis of Biochemical Markers of Recovery and Muscular Oxidative Stress.

Start date: January 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Competitive soccer engages many of the body's systems to a major extent. The musculoskeletal, nervous, immune and metabolic systems are stressed to a point where recovery strategies post-exercise become influential in preparing for the next match. Recovery from exercise can be an important factor in performance during repeated bouts of exercise. In a tournament situation, where athletes may compete numerous times over a few days, enhancing recovery may provide a competitive advantage. Recent work has highlighted that the aim of most recovery interventions is to return psychological, physiological, and performance variables to the 'pre-exercise' level or to baseline conditions identified in the absence of fatigue. The post-exercise cold water immersion (CWI) through its primary ability to decrease tissue temperature and blood flow, is purported to facilitate recovery by ameliorating hyperthermia and subsequent alterations to the central nervous system (CNS), reducing cardiovascular strain, removing accumulated muscle metabolic by-products, attenuating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and improving autonomic nervous system function. All these alterations provoke important physiological changes for the recovery of the athlete. Scientific evidence for other strategies reviewed in their ability to accelerate the return to the initial level of performance is still lacking. These include active recovery, stretching, compression garments, massage and electrical stimulation. While this does not mean that these strategies do not aid the recovery process, the protocols implemented up until now do not significantly accelerate the return to initial levels of performance in comparison with a control condition. Among these new strategies, Photobimodulation therapy - PBMT using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT) has been the focus of important research insights science in recent years. The PBMT has been used to increase muscle performance and reduces muscle fatigue signals. The mechanism proposed for the use of PBMT in sports and exercise is the increase in cytochrome c-oxidase in skeletal muscle fibers that lead to upregulation of mitochondrial activity, which increases ATP production promoting more energy for the muscle and decreases oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species production. Considering that the consented CWI is already used with good results in soccer athletes, however it has some drawbacks such as the time of application and the inconvenience caused by the application of cold and the new possibilities presented in the literature of the use of PBMT we propose to carry out this study. To address these issues, the present study aims to investigate and analyze biological markers on oxidative stress and muscle damage in soccer athletes after a match submitted to recovery strategies through CWI and PBMT
