Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Anterior Pelvic Tilt; Sprint Kinematics

Keywords

Hamstring strain; Muscle Injury; Pelvic Tilt; Sprint Kinematics; Sprint Mechanics

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Anterior Pelvic Tilt (APT) Reduction.

  The primary outcome measure is the reduction in static anterior pelvic tilt (APT) immediately after 6 weeks of the multicomponent intervention. APT is measured using a three-dimensional kinematic analysis during static and high-speed running tasks. The reduction in APT will be assessed before (PRE) and immediately after (POST) the intervention period to determine the effectiveness of the intervention in modifying pelvic alignment.

  Baseline (PRE) and immediately after 6 weeks of intervention (POST).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• biomechanical variables during high-speed running (HSR) and high-speed soccer running (HSSR) tasks

  Baseline (PRE) and immediately after 6 weeks of intervention (POST).

Study Arms (2)

Multicomponent Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Other: Multicomponent program

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

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

Interventions

Multicomponent program OTHER

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

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Masking Details: 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.
• Purpose: PREVENTION
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Principal Investigator and PhD Candidate.

Model Details: 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.
