简要总结
Injuries to the lower limbs are the most common in rugby and within the lower limbs, the most common are those that affect the ligaments of the knee. That is why we will try to improve knee stability and quadriceps strength.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of performing a pre-workout exercise protocol to improve knee stability and quadriceps strength in rugby players.
Randomized controlled study, simple blind and with follow-up. 30 semi-professional rugby players will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (pre-training exercise protocol that will include continuous running, squats, and squats and monopodal jumps) and control (without intervention). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of 15 minutes each. The study variables will be: knee stability (Y-Balance) and quadriceps strength (Single leg hop). The sample distribution will be calculated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test and with an ANOVA of repeated measures, the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula.
It is expected to see improvement in knee stability and quadriceps strength in athletes who performed the exercise protocol, after the study period.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline knee stability after treatment and at month
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
It will be done using the Y-Balance test. The barefoot sportswoman will be placed with the toes in the center of the Y marked on the floor with adhesive tape. Each of them will have six trials with each foot in each direction (anterior, posterolateral and posteromedial). Subsequently, they will have three attempts with each leg in each direction, taking the best mark of each leg in each direction. The athlete must return to the initial position without losing balance, because if she does not succeed, that attempt will be void. The distance to be measured includes from the central mark where we place the toes to the point where the patient supports the tip of the toes. The unit of measure of this measuring instrument is the centimeter. A higher score indicates greater knee stability.
次要结局
- Change from baseline quadriceps strength after treatment and at month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
