The Effect of Neuromuscular Training Program in Futsal Players

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Despite its popularity, there has been limited research on futsal, possibly due to the lack of financial interest in the game, and most of these research articles have addressed game analysis and/or physiological demands on players during match playing and training. For this reason, our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week neuromuscular training program on performance, physical fitness and injury risk in university futsal players.

Clinical Trial Description

Futsal, known as five-on-five indoor soccer, is a team sport officially authorized by FIFA and is becoming more and more popular all over the world. Futsal is among the 10 risky sports with the highest traumatic injuries. Futsal-induced traumas cause undesirable consequences such as accelerated osteoarthritis, different types of injuries in the muscle-tendon region, ligament injuries, cartilage injuries, loss of physical activity and higher repetitive injuries. Activities that result in a higher level of fitness can significantly reduce the likelihood of injury and serve as a useful tool for athletes' professional careers and post-career periods. Neuromuscular control, which is considered a critical component of motor skills, is defined as the ability to keep the body's center of gravity within the base of support. It can be categorized as static or dynamic balance and may be the most modifiable risk factor for the prevention of knee injuries. Interventions targeting neuromuscular control include dynamic lower extremity alignment during landing from a jump, shock absorption, muscle recruitment patterns; and gains improvement in balance through plyometric, strengthening, balancing, endurance and stability exercises. Neuromuscular training program can improve neuromuscular control, which can lead to improvement in balance and joint stability. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week neuromuscular training program on performance, physical fitness and injury risk in university futsal players. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

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.
