Clinical Trial Summary

Football is a team activity that calls for numerous sophisticated talents, including speed, endurance, speed, strength, and quickness. It is getting more and more popular among professional and amateur players, particularly in America.

Description:

Current research demonstrates that characteristics of American football players like body composition, sprint performance, metabolism, and strength are influenced by elements like the league played, training history, and position played. The ability to generate power with both the upper and lower bodies, change direction quickly, accelerate quickly in both positive and negative directions, run quickly, engage in high-intensity collisions repeatedly, and maintain muscular strength endurance are all skills that players on the court may need.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale	The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale is one of two scales that assesses pain-related fear. This scale, which is frequently used in the literature, is based on avoidance due to fear, fear in work-related activities, fear of movement or re-injury. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia is a 17-item questionnaire that quantifies fear of movement.The original 17-item version of the scale creates scores ranging between 17 and 68 with higher scores indicating more fear of movement	8 weeks
Primary	Optojump	The system can be activated with 2 cameras and at least 2 Optojump bars. In the measurements, the vertical jump height was recorded with the optoJump system and the software of this system (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy). The measurement of the vertical jump distance in centimeters is done by means of two bars in the OptoJump system with sensors that detect movement.	8 weeks
Primary	The duration of the jump (milliseconds) .(Optojump)	The system can be activated with 2 cameras and at least 2 Optojump bars. The duration of the jump (milliseconds).	8 weeks
Primary	The Biodex balance system	The Biodex balance system (BDS) is one of the mechanical platforms frequently used in balance measurements. It assesses balance through a platform that oscillates in the anteroposterior, mediolateral and general directions simultaneously.	six weeks
Secondary	Sit-Reach Test	The classical sit-reach test will be used to assess flexibility. According to meta-analyses, the classical sit-reach test is the most reliable method to evaluate hamstring flexibility.	8 weeks
