Rugby clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Preheating in the Improvement of Knee Stability and Quadriceps Strength in Rugby Players

Start date: March 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Injuries to the lower limbs are the most common in rugby and within the lower limbs, the most common are those that affect the ligaments of the knee. That is why we will try to improve knee stability and quadriceps strength. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of performing a pre-workout exercise protocol to improve knee stability and quadriceps strength in rugby players. Randomized controlled study, simple blind and with follow-up. 30 semi-professional rugby players will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (pre-training exercise protocol that will include continuous running, squats, and squats and monopodal jumps) and control (without intervention). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of 15 minutes each. The study variables will be: knee stability (Y-Balance) and quadriceps strength (Single leg hop). The sample distribution will be calculated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test and with an ANOVA of repeated measures, the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula. It is expected to see improvement in knee stability and quadriceps strength in athletes who performed the exercise protocol, after the study period.
