Effects of the Football+ warm-up program on kinematics and kinetics related to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during single-leg landing in young male soccer players.
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention 1: Intervention Group (Football+ Warm-up training): This is a football-specific injury prevention program recently designed, developed, and implemented by the Movement and Exercise Scien
2) Ball-based training and small-sided games (SSGs)
and 3) Explosive performance, including plyometric, agility, and speed drills. The Football+ exercises are categorized into three difficulty levels and are modified and adapted every 4 to 6 weeks base

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Biomechanical Risk Factors Associated with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury. Timepoint: At baseline (pre-intervention) and one week post-training. Method of measurement: Single-leg landing test from a 30 cm box to assess lower limb kinematics and kinetics.;Lower extremity performance. Timepoint: At baseline (pre-intervention) and one week post-training. Method of measurement: Static and dynamic Y balance test. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Isokinetic strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (pre-test) and then at the end of the study (post-test). Method of measurement: Isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex Multi-joint System 3, Biodex Medical Systems, USA). | — |
