Brief Summary:
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of different muscle warm-up phases on knee joint proprioception, vertical jump, agility, and balance in professional youth soccer players.
Methods: Twenty-five professional youth football players under 18 were assessed during muscle rest, warm-up, and fatigue phases using tests measuring knee proprioception, dynamic balance, explosive power, and agility.
Detailed Description:
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how different phases of muscle warm-up affect knee joint proprioception, vertical jump performance, agility, and dynamic balance in professional youth soccer players. Understanding these effects is critical for optimizing warm-up protocols to enhance athletic performance and reduce injury risk in this population.
Methods:
Twenty-five male professional youth football players under the age of 18 (mean age 16.5 ± 1.2 years) were randomly selected for this study. Each participant underwent assessments during three distinct muscle states: resting, after warm-up, and post-training fatigue. Knee joint proprioception was evaluated at a 30° angle using a digital inclinometer to measure joint position sense accuracy. Dynamic balance was assessed through the Y-balance test in three directions: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral. Explosive power was measured using the Sargent vertical jump test, while agility was tested with the T-test. All measurements were performed in each muscle condition to compare performance across the different warm-up phases.
