Brief Summary

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

The study will be carried out at the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. The study has been approved by the Animal Research and Experimentation Ethics Committee of the University of Alcalá. A total of 92 female basketball players aged between 12 and 25 will be selected and randomized in two different groups.

The control group will carry out a conventional preventive work out and the experimental group will carry out a specific strengthening program for the gluteus maximus in addition to the conventional preventive exercises.

The treatment will take place during the basketball club season and will last 4 months, from January to April 2022.

The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the inclusion of a specific gluteus maximus strength program in the conventional preventive work to improve the dynamic stability and to reduce the injury rate and pain in female basketball players.

Control group. Conventional preventive work out

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional preventive work out

Intervention Type OTHER

Female players in the control group will carry out a conventional preventive work that is organised in 3 training days per week. First training session includes preventive strength and proprioception exercises. Junior and senior teams (above 16 years old) will also do plyometrics exercises. In the second training session, players will do preventive strength exercises with an increased load compared to the previous session and proprioception exercises. Junior and senior players will also do anaerobic work. In the third session, players will perform reaction speed exercises.

Gluteus maximus strengthening specific program

Intervention Type OTHER

Female players will carry out a gluteus maximus strengthening work out in addition to the control group programme. Of the following four exercises, the first and the third ones will be done on the first training session and the second and the fourth exercises will be done on the second one. Dosage will be 2 sets of 10 repetitions for each leg.

1. Clam Shell: Lateral decubitus with the knees and hips bend, the working leg placed on top of the other. Separate this knee while feet stay in contact.
2. Unilateral gluteal bridge: Supine decubitus with one foot flat on the floor and bent knee. This leg pushes the ground with the foot until the pelvis is lifted while the other leg remains straight.
3. Quadruped hip extension with knee extension : Quadruped on forearms. Straighten the hip by bringing the whole leg up and back with knee extension.
4. Quadruped hip extension with bent knee: Performed as the previous one, but during this one, the knee of the working leg is bent at 90º.
