The hypothesis is a reduction in the number of injuries in the experimental group, as well as improvements in muscle mechanical properties, performance, and neuromuscular function in young soccer players.The study will be a randomized clinical trial with a convenience sample of approximately 65 male athletes aged between 14 and 18 years, divided into control and experimental groups. Athletes with no history of injury in the three months prior to the study will be included, while those with a history of previous surgery or lower limb fractures in the past five years, or who are undergoing physiotherapy at the time of the study, will be excluded.Muscle mechanical properties (myotonometry), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (Weight Bearing Lunge Test), motor control (Y Balance Test), and the reactive strength index (Myjump App) will be assessed before, immediately after, and at 8 and 16 weeks post-intervention. Myofascial self-release will be performed bilaterally on the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves for 2 minutes per region, twice a week, using a structured massage roller. All procedures will be demonstrated beforehand during the study.\n\nFor the Myoton procedure, the athlete will simply lie in a supine and prone position on the examination table. The athlete will only be asked to remain still in the \"face-up\" or \"face-down\" position, feeling only the light contact of the device's probe, which is painless and will be demonstrated beforehand.\n\nIn the Y Balance Test, athletes will be asked to balance on one foot atop a grid placed on the floor, with their hands on their hips, and reach as far as possible with the non-supporting leg in three marked directions on the floor, without lifting the heel of the supporting leg.\n\nFor the Ankle Range of Motion - Weight Bearing Lunge Test, the athlete will place the tested foot on a measuring tape positioned on the floor and will be instructed to touch their knee to the wall in front of them without lifting the heel of the tested foot. Three attempts will be allowed, and the longest distance from the big toe to the wall will be recorded.\n\nIn the Sit-and-Reach Test, the athlete will sit on the floor with bare feet and both legs extended. They will be instructed to keep their hands side by side and try to reach the greatest possible distance on the ruler in front of them by bending forward without bending their legs, holding the position for one second to measure the distance. Three attempts will be allowed, and the greatest distance reached will be recorded.\n\nFor ground reaction strength, the athlete will be asked to jump off a 40 cm high box, and as soon as their feet touch the ground, they will be encouraged to jump upward as quickly and as high as possible.\n\nIn myofascial self-release, athletes in the experimental group will be asked to use the myofascial release roller for 2 minutes before training on each of the three muscle groups - anterior and posterior thigh and posterior leg. Athletes will be instructed to roll using as much pressure as possible on the roller.

Gymnasts perform a series of dynamic movements, such as flips, turns, and somersaults, which require explosive muscular power and precise control (Potop et al., 2014). In this sport, jumping ability, balance, muscle strength, and flexibility are fundamental physical parameters that directly influence both movement quality and injury risk. Among these, jumping ability plays a particularly critical role by facilitating take-offs and aerial maneuvers, enabling gymnasts to generate the necessary height and momentum to perform complex routines effectively. Moreover, gymnasts with greater jump capacity are able to absorb landings more efficiently, thereby reducing injury risk and maintaining consistent performance throughout their routines (Feng et al., 2024; Geiblinger et al., 2025).\n\nAnother essential parameter is balance-particularly dynamic balance, which can be defined as the body's ability to perceive and respond to postural changes that occur during motor activities. This involves maintaining the center of mass within the base of support, requiring a high level of neuromuscular activation. Dynamic balance is vital not only in sports but also in daily life activities such as walking, stair climbing, running, and sit-to-stand transitions. Its role in preventing injuries and enhancing athletic performance has been well established (Paillard, 2019; Dana et al., 2021). The Y-Balance Test (YBT), which measures dynamic balance in three directions-anterior (ANT), posterolateral (PL), and posteromedial (PM)-is commonly used in clinical and athletic settings. In clinical practice, a difference of less than 4 cm between limbs in each direction is considered normative. Lehr et al. (2013) reported in a study conducted among collegiate athletes that average YBT performance could serve as a predictor of future lower extremity injuries.\n\nFrom a biomechanical perspective, the foot represents the distal segment of the lower extremity kinetic chain. Any morphological changes or alterations in the weight-bearing alignment of the foot can influence balance control. Considering the critical role of the foot in stabilizing and modulating the kinetic chain, accurately assessing foot posture is essential. Postural characteristics such as high or low arches may impact balance capacity, jump performance, and the ability to attenuate forces during landing (Seyedahmadi et al., 2024).\n\nIn light of this evidence, the primary aim of the present study is to examine the relationships between vertical jump performance, balance, muscle strength, flexibility, and foot posture in artistic gymnasts. Investigating these parameters comprehensively is expected to provide valuable insights from both scientific and clinical perspectives.\n\nSpecifically, the study seeks to: Determine the relationship between vertical jump performance and lower extremity muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. Analyze the potential associations between foot posture and vertical jump, balance, and muscle strength. By addressing these objectives, the study aims to contribute to both guiding the design of training programs and reducing the risk of injury among gymnasts, thereby offering meaningful clinical implications.\n\nThis is an observational, cross-sectional study. Participants will continue their regular gymnastics training routines without any intervention assigned by the investigators. Data collection will consist solely of measurements (vertical jump, balance, muscle strength, flexibility, and foot posture). No exercise program, treatment, or intervention will be applied as part of the study.",[103,104,30,105,106],"Vertical Jump","Dynamic Balance","Foot Posture Index Score","Muscle Strength",[108,35,109,110,111],"dynamic balance","foot posture index","muscle strength","vertical jump","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-09-11",{"date":115,"type":44},"2025-09-12",{"date":117,"type":21},"2025-09-20",{"date":119,"type":21},"2025-10-15",{"name":121,"class":51},"Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa",{"id":123,"slug":124,"hasResults":11,"nctId":125,"briefTitle":126,"officialTitle":127,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":128,"healthyVolunteers":95,"sex":16,"minAge":129,"maxAge":130,"enrollmentInfo":131,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":133,"briefSummary":134,"conditions":135,"keywords":138,"overallStatus":40,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":141,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":142,"startDateStruct":144,"completionDateStruct":146,"leadSponsor":148,"locationsCount":52},"100526201","effects-of-functional-motor-control-on-pain-flexibility-lower-extremity-function-with-itbs-100526201","NCT06131658","Effects of Functional Motor Control on Pain, Flexibility, Lower Extremity Function With ITBS","Effects of Functional Motor Control Exercise on Pain, Flexibility, Lower Extremity Function Among Runners With Iliotibial Band Syndrome","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* male and female athlete within 19-40 years,\n* running a minimum average of 15 running kilometers,\n* Runners with one sided iliotibial band syndrome for at least 3 months were included,\n* Pain along IT band at either Gerdy's tubercle or the lateral femoral epicondyle during running,\n* positive stiffness with Ober's test, and\n* reporting pain during Noble's compression test.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals with a history of previous knee trauma of past 6 months,\n* Individuals with a history of previous knee surgery of past 6 months,\n* Other knee abnormalities including patellofemoral joint pain,\n* popliteus tendinitis,\n* lateral meniscal injury,\n* Degenerative joint disease, and\n* lateral collateral ligament sprain to the affected side.","19 Years","40 Years",{"count":132,"type":21},72,[24],"The study is randomized and single-blinded.
