Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Participants will be included, men between the ages of 13 and 20, football players from the city of Alfenas.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Participants under the age of 13 and over the age of 20 who are not soccer players will be excluded from these studies. Participants with a history of orthopedic injuries to the lower limbs in the last six months prior to screening will be excluded; presence of diseases and/or dysfunctions of any nature that interfere with the movements of the upper and/or lower limbs; dermatological lesions such as ulcers and blisters on the feet; individuals with infectious diseases, myopathies and recognized collagen disorders; those with neurological injuries and rheumatological diseases that affect the trunk; and those who do not wish to participate and do not agree to sign the ICF will be excluded.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the muscular imbalance between knee flexors and extensors (It is expected to find an improvement in muscular imbalance, obtaining muscular rebalancing after 4 weeks of training in the intervention group, through the reassessment of localized muscular repetition (RML) and the use of the RM 2.0 application to calculate muscular imbalance. It was observed whether through the RML test there was an increase in the repetition of the muscles that were unbalanced, thus having an improvement in muscular rebalancing.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the functional performance of athletes. It is expected that with the proposed intervention there will be an improvement in the functional performance of athletes, measuring this improvement through the comparison between evaluation and reevaluation of functional tests (hop tests, and vertical jump) after 4 weeks of intervention. Observing an increase in jumps and the time taken to perform them.
