IRCT20230612058457N4 IRCT 2024-09-13 The University of Bu-Ali Sina The effect of dynamic stretching of hip flexor muscles on flexibility, pain, and physical fitness in football players with low back pain The Effect of 8-Week Dynamic Stretching of Hip Flexors on Hip Flexibility, Pain, and Physical Fitness in Soccer Players with Low Back Pain. A randomized controlled trial. 2024-09-13 anticipated 40 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/78877 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, participants are divided into two experimental and control groups using simple randomization. The randomization process will be done individually using the online tool Randomiser.org, which automatically generates a list of random numbers and assigns each participant to one of the groups. To prevent bias and ensure uniform distribution, the random sequence is designed in a way that group assignment occurs only after the initial stages are completed. Allocation concealment is achieved through computerized encoding software, where random codes are automatically assigned to each participant, and allocation information remains encrypted in the system until the final data analysis, Blinding description: After providing a general introduction to the study and the groups being investigated, participants in the present study will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups by chance. Additionally, the evaluator will be blinded to the group allocation of participants. N/A Low back pain. Intervention 1: Intervention group: In the present study, the intervention group will perform three dynamic stretching exercises for the hip flexor muscles such as Iliopsoas and rectus femoris over eight weeks (five sessions per week). Initially, the players will run at their preferred speed for 5 minutes, followed by 4 minutes of active rest, which involves walking. After that, they will perform the exercises according to the protocol, and each stretching exercise will be executed three times over a distance of 20 meters. Players will rest for 10 seconds between each set of exercises. Intervention 2: Control group: In the present study, the control group will continue with their usual exercises, and no specific stretching protocol will be provided to them. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: All data will be shared after anonymizing individuals, ensuring their non-identifiability. When: The data access period will start immeduately after the results are printed. To whom: The data will be made available to researchers, organizations, and institutions related to the field of football and also for publication in accessible journals Conditions: In order to assist scientific research and promote the implementation of executive goals with a focus on enhancing the performance of football players in the field, Where to obtain: Mohammad Alimoradi/malimoradi@sport.uk.ac.ir How to obtain: Requests for access to data will be answered within a week Comments:
