Effect of Fatigue on Core Endurance, Dynamic Balance and Player Performance in Adolescent Football Players

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Fatigue
• Interventions: Other: Fatigue protocol (repeated sprint ability)

• Registration Number: NCT06069635
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of fatigue on balance, core endurance and player performance in adolescent football players. the main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the effect of fatigue on balance, core endurance and player performance in adolescent football players?

2. What is the effect of balance on player performance in adolescent football players? participants will be 60 male age from 16 to 18 years selected from Wadi-Degla football club randomly assigned into either fatigue or control group, Each player assessed for core endurance, balance and performance then fatigue protocol applied for the fatigue group and shame protocol for the control group and the repeat all measurements.

Detailed Description

This study will be conducted in This pre and post controlled trial aiming at determining the efficacy of fatigue on core endurance, balance and player performance in adolescent football players, this study will be conducted in Wadi-Degla football club.

Players will be randomly assigned into either fatigue or control group. Randomizations will be done using computer random generated numbers.

Fatigue group (F.G): 30 players will be assessed for core endurance, balance and performance then fatigue protocol will be applied and reasses for core endurance, balance and performance after fatigue Control Group (C.G): 30 players will be assessed for core endurance, balance and performance.

Players will be assessed at baseline and fatigue for: balance using (MFT challenge disc),Core endurance, 20-m running sprint and Triple-Hop Test (THT) for perfprmace Will apply RSA as fatigue protocol for the fatigue groupe.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Fatigue group	Fatigue protocol (repeated sprint ability)	30 male players will be assessed for core endurance, balance and performance then fatigue protocol will be applied and measure for core endurance, balance and performance after fatigue

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
single-leg balance test	20 seconds	The "MFT challenge disc" balance measuring system will be used to assess single-leg balance test (SLBT) for both the dominant (D) and non-dominant (N) legs (i.e., SLBT-D, SLBT-N).
