Brief Summary

In football, knee is the joint that suffers the most severe injuries. Sometimes, this is produced by poor pre-activation of the musculature that is responsible for knee stability and central stability. OBJETIVE: Study the efficacy of specific gluteus medius and core activation protocol in knee stability in youth football players.

Conditions

Injuries:Knee Injuries

Keywords

Knee stability.; Core; Gluteus medius; Warm-up; Football

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Y-balance test

  Y-balance test Measures the strength of the lower limb, neuromuscular control, flexibility and dynamic balance

  Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Y-balance test

  Baseline and four weeks.

• Flamingobalance test

  Baseline and four weeks.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

The control group will perform a typical warm-up of competitive football, added to a specific activation of gluteus medius and core.
