The Effect of Exercise Training and Arch Supported Insoles on Balance and Vertical Jump Performance in Football Players With Foot Pronation Deformity

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Foot; Pronation, Congenital
• Interventions: Other: Using Insoles; Other: Foot Core Exercises

• Registration Number: NCT05821803
• Lead Sponsor: Yeditepe University

Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of foot pronation exercises and arch support insoles on balance and vertical jump test in football players.

Detailed Description

The study took place in FootBalance Turkey, which works on foot analysis and insoles.

30 professional football players with pronation who divided into two groups. The football players in the Experimental Group used insoles and also participated the foot core exercise program twice a week for 4 weeks duration. The football players in the Control Group just used the insoles.We used the FootBalance assessmnet system for insoles. Navicular Drop Test, Y Balance Test, Flamingo Testand Vertical Jump Test applied to evalute foot pronation, dynamic balance, static balance and jump performace respectively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Navicular Drop Test	4 weeks	It is the one of the static foot assessment tool and is intended to represent the sagittal plane displacement of the navicular tuberosity from a neutral position.
Flamingo Balance Test/ Static Balance Evalutaion	4 weeks	The flamingo balance test is a total body balance test in order to test static balance.
Vertical Jump Test	4 weeks	Vertical jump test to determine an athlete's physical ability. The vertical jump as a test of lower body explosive power
Y Balance Test/ Dynamic Balance Evaluation	4 weeks	The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception. It is a measure of dynamic balance that provides a significant challenge to athletes and physically active individuals.
