5. Study Description
Brief Summary
In football, knee is the joint that suffers the most severe injuries. Sometimes, this is produced by poor pre-activation of the musculature that is responsible for knee stability and central stability.
OBJETIVE: Study the efficacy of specific gluteus medius and core activation protocol in knee stability in youth football players.
Detailed Description
A randomized, longitudinal clinical trial with a blinded and prospective evaluator will be carried out, in which the knee stability will be evaluated with the following tests: Y-balance test and Flamingo balance test. The measurements will be made before and after the intervention. The study will be carried out with patients evaluated by a specialist in Traumatology and will be randomly divided by a system of numerical tables through a computer program between the experimental and control groups. The control group will perform a typical warm-up of competitive football; and the experimental one will do this above, added to a specific activation of gluteus medius and core. Dynamic stability (Y-balance test) and postural and static stability (Flamingo balance test) will be measured before and after the intervention.
