NCT05854459

Brief Summary

Physiotherapy protocols based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or eccentric hamstring exercises like Nordic Curl (NC) have been scarcely studied in futsal players. The hypothesis of this study is that a HIIT combined with an NC exercise program is more effective than a HIIT-only program in improving physical and functional characteristics in futsal players.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Intermittent work performance

    Intermittent work performance will be assessed with the 30x15 Intermittence Test (30x15IFT). The speed of the test will be recorded in km/h. The higher the speed achieved, the better work performance.

    Baseline

  • Intermittent work performance

    Intermittent work performance will be assessed with the 30x15 Intermittence Test (30x15IFT). The speed of the test will be recorded in km/h. The higher the speed achieved, the better the work performance.

    After the intervention (4 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Vertical jump performance without arm impulse

    Baseline

  • Vertical jump performance without arm impulse

    After the intervention (4 weeks)

  • Vertical jump performance with arm impulse

  • Vertical jump performance with arm impulse

    After the intervention (4 weeks)

  • Maximal quadriceps isometric strength

Study Arms (2)

HIIT and Nordic Curl exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will perform a weekly 50 minutes session for four weeks.

Other: HIIT and Nordic Curl exercise program

HIIT-only group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The participants will perform a weekly 40 minutes session for four weeks.

Other: HIIT-only program

Interventions

HIIT and Nordic Curl exercise programOTHER

The training program in the HIIT+NC group was divided into the following parts: i) warm-up (10 minutes); ii) HIIT (25 minutes) consisting of a circuit of eight exercises; iii) Nordic curl exercise (10 mintues); and iv) stretching.

HIIT and Nordic Curl exercise group
HIIT-only programOTHER

The HIIT group performed the same exercises in the warm-up, HIIT and stretching sections as the HIIT+NC group, however, they did not perform the NC eccentric exercises.

HIIT-only group
