BACKGROUND: This study aimed to examine the effects of stretching, strength, and plyometric exercise programs, implemented in addition to regular training, on jumping performance and knee valgus angles in football players. METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. The experimental group engaged in an eight-week program that included stretching, strength, and plyometric exercises, while the control group continued their standard training regimen. Jumping performance variables, including Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Free CMJ, Drop Jump (DJ), Squat Jump (SJ), Horizontal Jump, and right and left knee valgus angles, were assessed at three different time points. Demographic characteristics were measured using a scale and meter, and the “My Jump 2” application was used for jump tests and knee valgus evaluations. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27. Repeated Measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc comparisons was employed to analyze within-group changes, while Independent Samples T-tests were used to assess between-group differences. RESULTS: Both groups demonstrated increased jumping performance following the intervention; however, the experimental group showed significantly greater increases across all jump parameters. Furthermore, while reductions in right and left knee valgus angles were observed in both groups, these reductions were more pronounced in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that supplementing regular training with stretching, strength, and plyometric exercises significantly enhances jumping performance and more effectively reduces knee valgus angles in football players. These results suggest that such complementary training programs can play a critical role in improving athletic performance and reducing injury risk. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The randomized controlled trial was registered on 06 June 2025 at ClinicalTrials.gov, under the registration number NCT07009041.
背景:本研究旨在探讨在常规训练基础上增加拉伸、力量和增强式训练计划对足球运动员跳跃性能和膝外翻角度的影响。 方法:参与者被随机分配到实验组或对照组。实验组进行为期八周的计划,包括拉伸、力量和增强式训练,而对照组继续其标准训练方案。在三个不同时间点评估跳跃性能变量,包括反向纵跳(CMJ)、自由CMJ、下落跳(DJ)、深蹲跳(SJ)、水平跳以及左右膝外翻角度。使用量表和米尺测量人口统计学特征,并使用“My Jump 2”应用程序进行跳跃测试和膝外翻评估。数据使用SPSS 27进行分析。采用重复测量方差分析及Bonferroni事后比较来分析组内变化,同时使用独立样本t检验评估组间差异。 结果:两组在干预后跳跃性能均有所提高;然而,实验组在所有跳跃参数上的提高更为显著。此外,两组左右膝外翻角度均有所减小,但实验组的减小更为明显。 结论:研究结果表明,在常规训练基础上补充拉伸、力量和增强式训练可显著提高足球运动员的跳跃性能,并更有效地减小膝外翻角度。这些结果表明,此类补充训练计划在提高运动表现和降低受伤风险方面可发挥关键作用。 试验注册:该随机对照试验于2025年6月6日在ClinicalTrials.gov上注册,注册号为NCT07009041。
