Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Plyometric Exercises

• Registration Number: NCT05760027
• Lead Sponsor: Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia

Brief Summary

A program is proposed for two groups of professional indoor soccer players where the effect of plyometric exercises on body stability will be evaluated on a stabilometric platform.

Detailed Description

A program is proposed for two groups of professional indoor soccer players where the effect of plyometric exercises on body stability will be evaluated on a stabilometric platform.

Four evaluations will be carried out. An initial measurement before the beginning of the first intervention phase (Visit 1), after the intervention (Visit 2; day 30), after a 15-day washout period (Visit 3; day 45) and after the second intervention phase (Visit 4; day 75).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Balance Phase 1	Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 0 and day 30].	Measurement of the balance measured as a percentage by pressure platform of professional indoor soccer players.
Balance Phase 2	Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 45 and day 75].	Measurement of the balance measured as a percentage by pressure platform of professional indoor soccer players.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Flexibility	Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 45 and day 75].	Flexibility will be measured with Lunge test.
Anthropometric measurements	Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 45 and day 75].	Anthropometric variables measured with a TANITA equipment.
Lower limb pain	Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 45 and day 75].	Pain intensity will be measured with a Visual Analog Score (minimum value 0 - Maximum value 10). Higher values indicate a greater degree of pain
Number of injuries	Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 45 and day 75].	The number of lesions will be collected during the course of the study.
