Detailed Description

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

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of functional motor control exercises on pain, flexibility and lower limb functional. It will be randomized controlled trial (RCT) research design at Pakistan sports board through non probability convenience sampling technique on 72 runners' athletes which will be allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B, 36 athletes will be in each group. Group A (interventional) will be given conventional training with functional motor exercise and Group B (control) will be given conventional training. There will be 3 sessions in a week for 6 weeks. The baseline scoring will be on 1st day, follow up will be taken at 6th week. Assessment will be made by Numeric pain rating scale, Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), Single leg mini squat, Y balance. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 26. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two group

Functional motor control excercise

Functional motor control exercise Includes side plank with clamshell, Side plank with hip abduction, Side-lying hip abduction, Lateral monster walk, Hip hikes, Single leg squat, TKE with T-band-hip abduction All exercises done with 2 sets of 10 reps with 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Functional motor control excercise

Intervention Type OTHER

This include functional motor control thrice a week for six weeks

conventional exercise

The conventional exercise included 4 stages of self-myofascial techniques, strengthening, and integration techniques. In the first phase, individuals did fascial release exercises using foam rolls, focusing on tensor fascia latae, iliotibial band, and hip adductor muscles, and tennis balls for the quadratus lumborum. The exercises were performed at high-intensity maximum pain tolerance for 30 seconds or low-intensity minimum pain tolerance for 90 seconds.
