About this study

Official title: Effects of a Neuromuscular Training Program for the Prevention of Ankle Functional Instability in Male Soccer Players Aged 17-20: Randomized Clinical Trial With FIFA 11+

Objetive:To determine the effects of a functional ankle instability prevention neuromuscular training (PENMT) program compared to the conventional FIFA 11+ program on the occurrence of ankle sprains, flexibility, balance and muscle activation in 17-year-old male youth soccer players to 20 years.

Subjects and Methods: An experimental investigation, controlled, randomized and single-blind clinical trial was carried out in 40 subjects randomized to start the control or experimental group (soccer Players). The trial compared the effects of a differential intervention with a protocol focused on an ankle neuromuscular training program vs the usual FIFA 11+ program, in order to strengthen functional ankle stability in youth soccer in male players. In each subject, 2 measurements were taken: Pre-intervention and Post-intervention. For each measurement, a hypothesis test was performed.

Results: The FIFA11+ is expressed as an injury risk factor when buying it with the PENMT after their participation.

Conclusion:The neuromuscular training program for the ankle or PENMT applied in the experimental group did not generate a negative effect with respect to the FIFA 11+ program, in addition to the time of departure in the post test, the PENMT program is expressed as a protection factor of player injuries when contrasted with the FIFA 11+ program, that is, it presents effectiveness against the risk factor of functional ankle instability.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Preventive program (Type of)

    Neuromuscular and functional training protocol

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Ankle instability perception

    Two measures were performed for each patient; Cumberland Ankle Instability Questionnaire (CAIT): 30 points no instability; less than 27 points presence of ankle instability. (applied pre and post intervention moments)

    Measured: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week

  2. Measurement flexibility (centimeters)

    Two measures were performed for each patient; of the ankle joint (Lunge test) and chain of the lower limb (sit and reach: (BSSR); measurement in centimeters (cm), report of negative values or less than 0 cm, presence of retraction was lost. Both before and after the test.(applied pre and post intervention moments)

    Measured: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week

  3. Limits of stability - balance (millimeters)

    Two measures were performed for each patient;Dynamic and static balance with eyes open and closed, in a movement analysis laboratory, measured in millimeters -mm. (Applied moments pre and post intervention)

    Measured: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week

  4. Measured with conduction velocity in seconds under maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)

    Two measures were performed for each patient; surface electromyography, musculature - at 25 percentage, 50 percentage and 75 percentage of muscle activation. (moments before and after the intervention).

    Measured: Two measurements: first week and twelfth week

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Preventive program (Type of) (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05688930, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2023.
