Brief Summary

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

The present pilot study aimed to investigate whether a 6-week multicomponent intervention, comprising a structural lumbopelvic and sprint technique program, could reduce anterior pelvic tilt in soccer players who regularly participated in soccer practice.

Detailed Description

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

This pilot study aimed to evaluate the impact of a 6-week multicomponent intervention combining lumbopelvic control exercises and running technique training on pelvis structure and lower limb kinematics in semi-professional soccer players. Seventeen players were randomly assigned to a control group (CG) or an intervention group (IG). Data on static anterior pelvic tilt (APT) and three-dimensional kinematics during high-speed running (HSR) and high-speed soccer running (HSSR) were collected before (PRE) and after (POST) the intervention period.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the multicomponent intervention or a control group with no intervention, with both groups being monitored concurrently throughout the 6-week period.

Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

NONE

In this study, both participants and researchers are aware of the group assignment. Participants know whether they are receiving the multicomponent intervention or are part of the control group. The researchers who administer the intervention and collect data are also aware of the group assignments.

Study Groups

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

Multicomponent Intervention Group

Soccer players in the intervention group (IG) underwent a multimodal training program comprising 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks. All the soccer players in IG were allowed to continue their usual training (5 sessions per week) and matches (1 per week) at their clubs. The training program comprised both lumbopelvic training (foam rolling, manual therapy, mobility, posture, and strength training) and sprint technique components. The intervention included a total of 18 sessions of approximately 50 minutes each and sessions were supervised by 2 physiotherapists. During the 6 weeks of the intervention, participants performed the multicomponent program 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were the chosen days for carrying out the training program, as Sunday was usually a game day.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multicomponent program

Intervention Type OTHER

Lumbopelvic training (foam rolling, manual therapy, mobility, posture, and strength training) and sprint technique program.

Control Group

Soccer players in the control group (CG) were requested not to modify their established training routines during the entire 6-week period.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
