Brief Summary

This research shows the effect of stretching exercises on dynamic balance. football players divided into 2 groups do different stretching exercises, dynamic and static. The control group does not do stretching exercises. The study should show which stretching exercises have a greater effect on the Y balance test than the dynamic balance test.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The leg length

    The leg length was measured from the anterior superior iliac spine to the distal edge of the medial malleolus, in centimeter using a tape measure.

    2 minutes

  • Y Balance Test

    During the test, the football players place one foot on the stationary platform of the test set so that the tip of the foot does not exceed the starting line. The second foot, or the tip of the foot, will push the movable part of the platform down the measuring tube, which is marked by half-inch intervals. Any lifting of the standing leg to the heel, toes or loss of balance will be considered a mistake and the attempt will be repeated. Mobility will be tested through 3 trial and 3 valid measurements of the lower limbs in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions. The arms should rest on the hips.

    15 minutes

Eligibility Criteria

Age14 Years - 35 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • No musculoskeletal injury within 10 days of the start of the study,
  • Age over 14 years (The Official Gazette of the Football Federation of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Women's Football League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, article 15. states that female players who have reached the age of 14 and who have a specialist medical examination can play for the first team, a maximum of 5 player's on the field in the same game)
  • Voluntary participation in the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Age below 14 years,
  • Refusal to take the examination,
  • Errors in keeping records of injuries by responsible persons,
  • Lower legs injuries in the last 10 days,
  • Vestibular disorders.
