About this study

The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of fatigue on balance, core endurance and player performance in adolescent football players. the main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. What is the effect of fatigue on balance, core endurance and player performance in adolescent football players?
  2. What is the effect of balance on player performance in adolescent football players? participants will be 60 male age from 16 to 18 years selected from Wadi-Degla football club randomly assigned into either fatigue or control group, Each player assessed for core endurance, balance and performance then fatigue protocol applied for the fatigue group and shame protocol for the control group and the repeat all measurements.
Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted in This pre and post controlled trial aiming at determining the efficacy of fatigue on core endurance, balance and player performance in adolescent football players, this study will be conducted in Wadi-Degla football club.

Players will be randomly assigned into either fatigue or control group. Randomizations will be done using computer random generated numbers.

Fatigue group (F.G): 30 players will be assessed for core endurance, balance and performance then fatigue protocol will be applied and reasses for core endurance, balance and performance after fatigue Control Group (C.G): 30 players will be assessed for core endurance, balance and performance.

Players will be assessed at baseline and fatigue for: balance using (MFT challenge disc),Core endurance, 20-m running sprint and Triple-Hop Test (THT) for perfprmace Will apply RSA as fatigue protocol for the fatigue groupe.

What participants receive

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

  • Fatigue protocol (repeated sprint ability)Other

    The test performed on an outdoor field (artificial grass carpet) in the form of 6 repetitions of maximal 2× 15 m shuttle sprints interspersed with 20 seconds of passive recovery , Before the RSA protocol, all players perform a brief standardized warm-up (approximately 20 minutes long), in 1at submaximal speed (followed by 40 seconds of passive recovery The fatigue index (FI) used to characterize the RSA performance was calculated in terms of percentage decrement score At the end of the RSA protocol , usually the time elapsed between the end of the last sprint and the beginning of the measurements was no more than 20 seconds, to avoid masking effects related to progressive recovery from fatigue.

  • Sham Comparator: Control groupOther

    approximately 20 minutes long), which consisted of : 6 minutes of incremental running from 60% to 80% of maximal aerobic speed; 6 minutes of dynamic flexibility exercises; 2 minutes of forward, backward, and lateral jogging and high-knee and ''butt-kick'' runs; 2 minutes of shuttle sprints (5 m in 1 direction and 5 m in the opposite direction, repeated for 2 minutes) at submaximal speed (followed by 40 seconds of passive recovery); and 2 minutes of RSA protocol simulation at submaximal speed (2 repetitions), again followed by 40 seconds of passive recovery. take apenalty of water and rest

What is being measured

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

  1. single-leg balance test

    The "MFT challenge disc" balance measuring system will be used to assess single-leg balance test (SLBT) for both the dominant (D) and non-dominant (N) legs (i.e., SLBT-D, SLBT-N).

    Measured: 20 seconds

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fatigue protocol (repeated sprint ability) in people with Fatigue, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 6 Oct 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

single-leg balance test (time frame: 20 seconds). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Oct 2023.
