Effects of FIFA 11+ With and Without Dynamic Core Stability Training on Balance and Dynamic Knee Valgus in Amateur Soccer Players at Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating FIFA 11+ protocol with additional Core training exercises and FIFA 11+ protocol for Injury Prevention and Postural Balance. Targeting 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The incidence of soccer-related injuries is reported to have the highest rate amongst all sports. To reduce the incidence of soccer injuries in youth and amateur soccer players, an injury prevention framework namely FIFA 11+ was established. Although the FIFA 11+ is a comprehensive warm-up and training program for soccer players, yet in the second component focusing on strength and plyometric training, the exercises consist of only static core training whereas dynamic core training is not included in the protocol. Hence this study will observe the effect of including dynamic core training targeting the remaining core musculature as well in the FIFA 11 + program for risk factor modification and correction of muscular imbalance.

Timeline
Interventions
Slow paced running exercises of 8 minutes' duration (2 rounds each), followed by Strength, plyometric and balance exercises including 3 sets of 20-30 sec of The Bench, Sideways Bench each side, Nordic Hamstring strengthening, single leg stance balance training, squatting and high speed running. The protocol will end with additional core training exercises including leg raises, crunches, superman, plank hip twist, and supine bridge. Each exercise plan will be progressively increased. Core training will be followed by 30 sec stretch of major muscle groups.
Slow paced running exercises of 8 minutes' duration including running straight, running with hip out, running hip in, running circling partner, running shoulder contact and running quickly forward and backwards (2 rounds each), followed by Strength, plyometric and balance exercises including The Bench, Sideways Bench each side, Nordic Hamstring strengthening and single leg stance balance training, squatting and jumping. All exercises will be progressively increased as per established protocol. The final phase of the study includes fast running for 2 minutes.
