Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Soccer; Exercise; Athletic Performance
• Interventions: Other: FIFA11+; Other: 'Usual' Soccer Warm-up

• Registration Number: NCT03683758
• Lead Sponsor: University of British Columbia

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted for a master's dissertation. Our goal is to determine if there are physical performance benefits to performing the FIFA11+ soccer warm-up program in adult female soccer players over an eight week period. This topic has been studied primarily using male soccer players. The performance effects in adult female soccer players is currently unknown.

This warm-up has been shown to reduce non-contact injury rates in soccer players aged \>13. If performance benefits are demonstrated in this study, in addition to the reported injury reduction benefits of the FIFA11+ warm-up, program adherence and player performance could improve.

Exclusion Criteria

• Mustn't play a goal keeper position. The physical demands of this position is drastically different than all other soccer positions. The training effects from practices and games are unique and may therefore influence the effects the FIFA11+ has on players of this particular positions.
• Mustn't have an illness or injury preventing them from participating in soccer practice, games, and testing procedures. Injury or illness would likely result in poorer physical performance outcomes relative to healthy participants.
• Mustn't miss a physical performance testing session. Pre- and posttest data is required to determine if there are changes in performance metrics in relation to both the intervention and control groups.
• Mustn't be pregnant or of childbearing potential for the duration of the study (10 weeks). The PI and Co-Investigators are not familiar with each participant's reproductive health and history or how pregnancy may affect each participant's response to either the intervention or control group. It is therefore decided that participants that are pregnant or of childbearing potential will be removed from the study.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
FIFA11+ / Intervention Group	FIFA11+	This group will complete the FIFA11+ warm-up three times per week for eight weeks.
Typical Warm-up / Control Group	'Usual' Soccer Warm-up	This group will complete their usual warm-up three times per week for eight weeks

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage Change From Baseline in 10m Sprint Times After an 8 Week Intervention	Intervention is 8 weeks in duration with baseline and post-test outcome measurements occurring within 3 days of the commencement and end of the intervention period	10m sprint times will be recorded in seconds.; The 10m sprint involves a stationary participant starting behind a timing gate and running through a second timing gate 10 meters away.; Three trials will be performed during the pre-test and the posttest, with the best time being selected for each. Participants will have a 2-minute break between trials.
Percentage Change From Baseline in Squat Jump Height After an 8 Week Intervention	Intervention is 8 weeks in duration with baseline and post-test outcome measurements occurring within 3 days of the commencement and end of the intervention period	Squat jumps will be measured in centimeters.; This test requires each participant to stand on a contact mat with their hands on their hips, squat and pause in a position with their knees at a 90 degree angle, then propel upward as high as possible.; Three trials will be performed during the pre-test and the posttest, with the best time being selected for each. Participants will have a 1-minute break between trials.
Percentage Change From Baseline in Agility T-Test Times After an 8 Week Intervention	Intervention is 8 weeks in duration with baseline and post-test outcome measurements occurring within 3 days of the commencement and end of the intervention period.	Agility T-test times will be recorded in seconds..; The Agility T-Test involves a stationary participant running forward through a timing gate to touch a cone 10 yards away, shuffle 5 yards to the left to touch a second cone, shuffle right 10 yards to touch a third cone, shuffle left to touch a fourth cone (the first cone touched after the 10 yard run), then back-peddle 10 yards to pass through the timing gate a second time. This running pattern creates a "T" shape with the vertical and horizontal components of the "T" measuring 10 yards each.; Three trials will be performed during the pre-test and the posttest, with the best time being selected for each. Participants will have a 2-minute break between trials.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Warm-up Attendance	8 weeks	Practice and game attendance will be recorded so warm-up compliance may be calculated. This will be done three days per week for eight weeks.
