简要总结
The reverse Nordic curl is a body-weight exercise which mainly works the quadriceps and hip flexors. It has a large eccentric component, meaning the muscles are working whilst lengthening.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the reverse Nordic curl exercise on Quadriceps femoris muscles injuries among soccer players.
It hypothesized that reverse Nordic curl exercise has a beneficial effect in terms of Quadriceps femoris muscles injury prevention.
详细描述
Description of intervention(s) / exposure The intervention group will be instructed to include the reverse Nordic curl exercise into their warm up 15 to 20 mins before training session (3 times per week) during one season (6 months).
Group sessions will be administered by an exercise physiologist and/ or athletic trainer and/ or soccer coaches and/ or strength and conditioning specialists and/ or physiotherapist.
Session attendance checklists will be used to assess or monitor adherence to the intervention.
The reverse Nordic curl is a body-weight exercise which mainly works the quadriceps and hip flexors. It has a large eccentric component, meaning the muscles are working whilst lengthening.
This is a very simple movement to do, but maintaining strict positioning is vital to get the full benefits. Here's how to do it:

结局指标
主要结局
Incidence of initial injuries
时间窗: At the end of the intervention season (6 months).
Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session. Coaches in both the experimental and control groups will be reporting injuries during training and matches by filling in forms once per week and submitting the information using the Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form (Sports Medicine Australia). Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period.
The incidence of recurrent injuries
时间窗: At the end of the intervention season (6 months)
Recurrent injury is defined as a repeat episode of a fully recovered injury. Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session. Coaches in both the experimental and control groups will be reporting injuries during training and matches by filling in forms once per week and submitting the information using the Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form (Sports Medicine Australia). Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period.
