Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
