Brief summary
A program is proposed for two groups of professional indoor soccer players where the effect of plyometric exercises on body stability will be evaluated on a stabilometric platform.
Detailed description
A program is proposed for two groups of professional indoor soccer players where the effect of plyometric exercises on body stability will be evaluated on a stabilometric platform. Four evaluations will be carried out. An initial measurement before the beginning of the first intervention phase (Visit 1), after the intervention (Visit 2; day 30), after a 15-day washout period (Visit 3; day 45) and after the second intervention phase (Visit 4; day 75).
Interventions
OTHERPlyometric exercise
The group of athletes will perform plyometric stability exercises and their usual exercise for 30 days.
OTHERRegular exercise
The group of athletes will perform their usual exercise for 30 days.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Balance Phase 1 | Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 0 and day 30]. | Measurement of the balance measured as a percentage by pressure platform of professional indoor soccer players. |
| Balance Phase 2 | Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 45 and day 75]. | Measurement of the balance measured as a percentage by pressure platform of professional indoor soccer players. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flexibility | Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 0 and day 30]. | Flexibility will be measured with goniometer. |
| Number of injuries | Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 0 and day 30]. | The number of lesions will be collected during the course of the study. |
| Lower limb pain | Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 0 and day 30]. | Pain intensity will be measured with a Visual Analog Score (minimum value 0 - Maximum value 10). Higher values indicate a greater degree of pain |
| Anthropometric measurements | Baseline and end of each intervention [Day 0 and day 30]. | Anthropometric variables measured with a TANITA equipment. |
