Brief Summary

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

Physiotherapy protocols based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or eccentric hamstring exercises like Nordic Curl (NC) have been scarcely studied in futsal players. The hypothesis of this study is that a HIIT combined with an NC exercise program is more effective than a HIIT-only program in improving physical and functional characteristics in futsal players.

Detailed Description

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

The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a HIIT combined with an NC exercise program versus a HIIT-only program in futsal players. Therefore, a randomized controlled trial will be carried out. Futsal players will be divided into 1) HIIT+NC group and 2) HIIT group. The HIIT+NC group will perform a HIIT circuit combined with 3 sets of 10 NC repetitions for 4 weeks, while the HIIT group will perform the same protocol without NC exercise. BMI, intermittent work performance, vertical jump performance without and with arms, isometric strength of quadriceps and hamstrings, and the isometric H/Q ratio, will be assessed before and after the interventions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

HIIT and Nordic Curl exercise group

The participants will perform a weekly 50 minutes session for four weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

HIIT and Nordic Curl exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

The training program in the HIIT+NC group was divided into the following parts: i) warm-up (10 minutes); ii) HIIT (25 minutes) consisting of a circuit of eight exercises; iii) Nordic curl exercise (10 mintues); and iv) stretching.

HIIT-only group

The participants will perform a weekly 40 minutes session for four weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

HIIT-only program

Intervention Type OTHER

The HIIT group performed the same exercises in the warm-up, HIIT and stretching sections as the HIIT+NC group, however, they did not perform the NC eccentric exercises.
