Filter by:Technique is the most important part of football for scoring goal and in defense of the goal lower limbs are the most important part of the player to be focused on as moving with the ball and training method is important in training football players for their matches. Use of training method in football players can either be a match play training or plyometric training. Plyometric training is considered an effective tool for increasing tendon stiffness. Plyometric training produces improvements in jump performance and lower body strength performance. A training program for young football players, using minimum equipment and effort, can result in improved player performance and a reduction in the risk of a possible overuse injury, reflected by an improvement in lower limb range of motion. Match play training patterns are mostly followed by the coaches to enhance the performance and plyometric are used for the efficient training programs. This study will be a randomized clinical trial conducted at Pakistan sports board in Lahore. The study will be completed within the time duration of Six months. Non probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 15 participants each group will be taken in this study to find the effects of match play exercise versus plyometric on explosive power, Agility and functional performance in football players. Football players will be divided into 2 groups Group A will be given the match play training and Group B will be given plyometric trainings and at the end of the 6 week the results will be checked on power, agility and fictional performance. Power: (MRC scale) , Agility: Comprehensive Agility Measurement Tool (CAMT), Functional Performance: The Functional Movement Scale (FMS) tools will be used to measure the difference between the training pattern of 6 weeks which is more effective for the football players. The data will be collected using the SPSS 24. In descriptive statistics Frequency tables, pie charts, bar charts will be used to show summary of group measurements measured over time... The objective of this study is to Determine Comparative Effects of Match play training and plyometric training on Explosive power, Agility and Functional performance in football players.
It is important to determine how high femoral anteversion, which is one of the lower extremity malalignments, affects physical performance and to what extent it affects the daily life of the individual. As far as we know, there is no study on this subject except for a study conducted by Staheli et al. in 1977. Therefore, the investigators planned to determine whether and to what extent high femoral anteversion has an effect on physical performance in healthy young adults.
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is defined as the symptoms continuing 12 months after the first sprain and the functional and/or mechanical instability reported by the individual. The number of researches that include a combined treatment approach that will affect both sensory and motor components in rehabilitation strategies applied for CAI is limited. The aim of this study is to isolated sensory, isolated motor and combined targeted approaches for the treatment of chronic ankle instability (CAI); to compare the effects on postural control, range of motion, function and kinesiophobia and to contribute to an effective approach related to the applicability of Sensory-Targeted Ankle Rehabilitation Strategies in the treatment of CAI.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the world and its incidence reaches up to 16%.Although survival can be increased with early diagnosis and more effective therapies, physical complications such as lymphedema, upper extremity dysfunction and chronic pain are frequently seen during and/or after breast cancer treatments. It has been determined that lymphedema associated with breast cancer treatment is a factor that mediates and/or exacerbates the adverse effects of breast cancer treatments on upper extremity functional capacity and quality of life of patients.It was determined that the 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PRT) score showed a clear relationship with the upper extremity daily living activities (ADLs), and it was concluded that the 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PRT) test could be used as an appropriate test in pulmonary rehabilitation programs to predict and show the improvement of daily living activities (ADLs). Therefore, in this study; The results to be obtained by evaluating the validity and reliability of the 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PRT) test in breast cancer patients will increase the use of this test in both testing arm endurance and arm exercise capacity in breast cancer patients, and predicting the effect on daily living activities (ADLs)
The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of core stability exercises to increase motor control, function and resistance strength of the abdominal muscles, compared to a traditional abdominal and trunk exercise program in semi-professionals soccer players
Two new male condoms have been developed - one made of synthetic nitrile and the other made of latex graphene. Both new condoms are of the same design as a standard latex male condom. The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional performance of two new male condoms compared to a control latex male condom. Couples enrolled in the study will be asked to use five latex graphene, five synthetic nitrile and five latex male condoms in a randomized type order. Function, safety, and acceptability will be assessed at three follow-up visits approximately one month apart after enrolment.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare balance, coordination and lower extremity functional performances of Muay Thai (MT) athletes and bodybuilders (BB). Method: Seventeen athletes (14 men and 3 women; mean age: 20.65 + 2.34) engaged in MT and 18 (13 men and 5 women, mean age: 25.89 + 4.83) engaged in BB were included in the study. The Flamingo Balance Test and Y Balance Test were used to evaluate static and dynamic balance, respectively. Coordination was assessed using the Hexagon Test. Lower extremity functional performance was evaluated using the Single Leg Hop Test.
The main objective of this project is: 1. To assess the influence of physical fatigue on a return-to-play test battery in a healthy population. In a later stage, these experiments could be carried out in a clinical context (e.g. in an ankle sprain population). The researchers will use a randomized, placebo controlled, counter-balanced, cross-over design. Twenty healthy subjects will visit the lab 3 times. On the first visit (familiarisation trial), the investigators will collect the participants' characteristics. The participants will also be familiarized to the procedures and materials of the experiment during this first visit. The second and third visit contain the experimental setup and will proceed as follows: first, the participants will fill in a pre-test checklist, a mental fatigue scale (M-VAS) and motivation scale. In the mean time a little blood will be collected from the ear lobe to determine lactate and glucose levels; also, blood pressure will be checked. Next, the subjects will carry out a functional test battery (hop test, vertical jump test, Y-balance test, and a balance reaction-time test). Session rate of perceived exertion (SRPE) is measured to indicate how fatigued the participants feel due to the test battery; also, M-VAS is collected once more, as well blood lactate, glucose and blood pressure. These measures are followed by either a physical fatigue inducing task (Modified 30 seconds Wingate protocol) or time-matched control task (sitting on the bike without pedalling). Afterwards, researchers will collect blood lactate, glucose and blood pressure two times more; participants have to fill in M-VAS (2x), perform the same test battery, and fill in the SRPE scale one more time. Heart frequency will be measured continuously during the trials.

Objective of the study The main objectives of this project are: 1. To assess the influence of mental fatigue on a return-to-play test battery in healthy population 2. To assess the influence of mental fatigue on brain functioning during a balance and reaction time task in healthy population In a later stage, these experiments could be carried out in a clinical context (e.g. in an ankle sprain population). The researchers will use a randomized, placebo controlled, counter-balanced, cross-over design. Thirteen healthy subjects will visit the lab 3 times. On the first visit (familiarisation trial), the investigators will collect the participants' characteristics. The participants will also be familiarized to the procedures and materials of the experiment during this first visit. The second and third visit contain the experimental setup and will proceed as follows: first, the participants will fill in a mental fatigue scale (M-VAS) and motivation scale. Next, the subjects will carry out a functional test battery (hop test, vertical jump test, Y-balance test, and a balance reaction-time test). Session rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is measured to indicate how fatigued the participants feel because of the test battery; also, M-VAS is collected once more. Then, a short cognitive task (Flanker task) is followed by either a long intensive cognitive task (90 minutes Stroop task) or control task (90 minutes documentary). Afterwards, participants have to carry out the Flanker task, fill in M-VAS (2x), perform the same test battery, fill in session RPE and one final fatigue scale (Nasa TLX). Heart frequency and EEG will be measured continuously during the trials.
