About this study

Official title: The Impact of FIFA 11+ Exercise Program on Isokinetic Muscle Strength and Balance on Adolescent Amateur Soccer Players.

FIFA 11+ program; It consists of simple, easily remembered, and time-consuming, sport-specific exercises underlying fair play. Although the FIFA 11+ program is a well-established warm-up protocol for injury prevention among football players, the performance improvement aspect of the program is not often discussed in the literature. The study's objective is to investigate the efficacy of the FIFA 11+ program on sports performance parameters such as dynamic balance, isokinetic muscle strength performance in adolescent amateur male football players.

Read the detailed description

This study was planned in a randomized controlled experimental type. The footballers of a team from an amateur league will be included in the research. All participants will be tested at baseline and 9 weeks after baseline. The participants will be submitted to the following testing procedures: dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance Test), muscle strength assessment (Isokinetic assessment). After the baseline measurements will be completed, the control group members will be advised to continue their regular warm-up program. This program consists of jogging and stretching exercises. The experimental group will complete the FIFA 11+ training, which consisted of six different types of running exercises; six exercises with three levels of increasing difficulty to improve the participants' strength, agility, core stability, eccentric control, etc.; and advanced running exercises, such as running across the pitch, bounding, planting, cutting. The FIFA 11+ will be applied to the experimental group 3 times a week for 9 weeks. The control group's warm-up duration will be matched to the experimental group's duration (20-25 min). This routine workout will perform 3 times a week for 9 weeks. At the end of 9 weeks, the evaluations will be repeated (Star Excursion Balance Test, Isokinetic assessment).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FIFA 11+ exercise programBehavioural

    FIFA 11+ program; It consists of simple, easily remembered, and time-consuming, sport-specific exercises underlying fair play. The F 11+ consisted of 3 parts: the first part consisted of running exercises (part 1); the second part included six exercises, which were made up of three levels of difficulty and aimed at enhancing balance, strength, muscle control, and core stability (part 2). The final and the third part covered advanced running exercises (part 3) .

What is being measured

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

  1. Isokinetic assessment

    When assessing the football players in terms of strengths, frequently use isokinetic systems . Computer aided muscle-testing dynamometers are utilized for measuring muscle force and this provides us with an assessment of muscles and group of muscle in an isokinetic manner. Isokinetic muscle testing is conducted with a stable speed of angular motion yet variable resistance.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Isokinetic assessment

Computer aided muscle-testing dynamometers are utilized for measuring muscle force and this provides us with an assessment of muscles and group of muscle in an isokinetic manner. Isokinetic muscle testing is conducted with a stable speed of angular motion yet variable resistance

    Measured: After the 9-week intervention

  3. balance assessment

    Dynamic postural control will be measured with the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), which will be applied with a system of 8 lines. The foot will be placed in the center of the testing system to be bisected equally in the medial-lateral anteroposterior planes. SEBT is made up of 8 directions: anterior, anterolateral, lateral, posterolateral, posterior, posteromedial, medial, and anteromedial.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. balance assessment

The foot will be placed in the center of the testing system to be bisected equally in the medial-lateral anteroposterior planes. SEBT is made up of 8 directions: anterior, anterolateral, lateral, posterolateral, posterior, posteromedial, medial, and anteromedial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FIFA 11+ exercise program and routine program in people with Injury Prevention, run by Yeditepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Isokinetic assessment (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06049628, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
