Effects of Two Multimodal-programs of Exercises in Male Soccer Players.

November 5, 2018 updated by: Marcos Jose Navarro Santana, University of Alcala

Comparison of the Effects Between Two Multimodal-programs of Exercises on Joint Position Sense, Dynamic Postural Balance and Counter Movement Jump in Male Soccer Players.

The prevention of injuries has a close relation with the proprioception. In this sense, the proprioception is defined as the information about the corporal and segmental movement, as well as the position of the body and the corporal segments of oneself in the space. Some authors divide the proprioception into kinesthesia and the Joint Position Sense (JPS).

The hypothesis of the study is the implantation of a progressive multimodal exercise protocol with transferences to sport in the trainings of amateur male soccer players in the age range from 18 to 30 years, can decrease the adverse effects of the fatigue during the high intensity activities and its relation with the JPS. Due to the close relation between fatigue and incidence of injuries, the obtaining of positive results could be an important finding for the design of prevention and rehabilitation protocols in soccer.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: IAI Protocol
A progressive exercises with transference to sport protocol, oriented to improve the proprioception.
Progressive exercises to improve the strength and propioception of the male soccer players.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: FIFA 11+ Protocol
A typical exercises protocol to soccer
Progressive exercises protocol to prevent injuries in male soccer players which has been created by "FIFA". It is based in different body wieght exercises to improve the neuromuscular control and stabilization.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Joint Position Sense of the knee
Time Frame: Was measured at baseline (realized before the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before the training), ten weeks (before the training) and three months (realized before the trainng)
A digital inclinometer (range measured in degreesº) was used to assess knee Joint Position Sense in a Closed Kinetic Chain using an active modality (athletes actively reached and maintained the knee). The athletes did three trials to the target position. The average of three trials was used to compared with the target position to obtain the absolute error and relative error.
Was measured at baseline (realized before the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before the training), ten weeks (before the training) and three months (realized before the trainng)
Joint Position Sense of the knee after the training
Time Frame: Was measured at baseline (realized after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized after the training) and three months (realized after the trainng)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fatigue
Time Frame: Was measured at baseline (after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, after the training), and three months (after the training
The effort perception was measured with Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (Borg RPE), a 15-point single-item scale ranging from 6 to 20 (with anchors ranging from 6 "No exertion" to 20 "Maximum exertion") (little or no effort) to 20 (maximun exertion) scores
Was measured at baseline (after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, after the training), and three months (after the training
Lateral Step Down Test
Time Frame: Was measured at baseline (realized before and after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before and after the training), ten weeks (realized only before the training) and three months (realized before and after the training
Five consecutive test repetitions were then performed. The examiner were positioned 3 m in front of the subject during the test. The examiner evaluated the performance of the test simultaneously and scored the test on a 6-point scale (0-5), according to the criteria outlined by Piva et al. A total score of 0 to 1 was classified as "good" quality of movement, a total score of 2 to 3 was classified as "moderate" quality of movement, and a total score of 4 to 5 was classified as "poor" quality of movement.
Was measured at baseline (realized before and after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before and after the training), ten weeks (realized only before the training) and three months (realized before and after the training
Counter movement jump
Time Frame: Was measured at baseline (realized before and after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before and after the training), ten weeks (realized only before the training) and three months (realized before and after the training
Measured by app "My Jump 2", participants performed each CMJ with hands on their hips, starting from a static standing position and with their legs straight during the flight phase of the jump. The landing was performed simultaneously with either feet keeping ankle dorsiflexion. Participants were instructed to jump as high as possible.
Was measured at baseline (realized before and after the training), post-treatment (six weeks, realized before and after the training), ten weeks (realized only before the training) and three months (realized before and after the training
