Optimisation of Performance and Avoidance of Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
On the basis of clinical and movement analysis records players are informed on what parameters can be optimized in order to improve their performance and avoid injuries
Interventions
OTHERadvise for exercices given by team staff
To respond to questions asked: it is not the investigator who decides on the intervention, but the daily team staff (e.g. trainer, coach, PT,.....). So no predetermined intervention is provided

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2D and 3D joint angles of different movements together with kinetics | 1 day | kinematics and kinetics with regard to gait, running, jumping and arm movements. This means for example joint angles (measured by 3D motion analyses data, 2D measurement data) and kinetics (joint moments, pressure plate measurements) Time frames: these data will recorded by one measurement session. For information of clinicaltrials.gov (also other outcome measures): at this point it really is an observational study. It is a kind of service project for an elite athletes team. Advice is provided, but not as is meant within a real clinical trial. It might evolve to such a project, but at this state it is not the case. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| joint stability | 1 day | nominal scale (good, poor) |
| joint control | 1 day | nominal scale (good, poor) |
| prevalence injury past | 1 day | interview (frequency/percentage of occurrence) |
| muscle strength | 1 day | isokinetic measurements (expressed in Nm) |
| (segmental) length | 1 day | Meter |
| weight | 1 day | Kg |
| Body mass index | 1 day | Kg/m² |
| prevalence injury present | 1 day | interview (yes/no) |
