Effectiveness of a Protocol of Specific Activation.
Effectiveness of a Protocol of Specific Activation.
In football, knee is the joint that suffers the most severe injuries. Sometimes, this is
 produced by poor pre-activation of the musculature that is responsible for knee stability and
 central stability.

 OBJETIVE: Study the efficacy of specific gluteus medius and core activation protocol in knee
 stability in youth football players.
A randomized, longitudinal clinical trial with a blinded and prospective evaluator will be
 carried out, in which the knee stability will be evaluated with the following tests:
 Y-balance test and Flamingo balance test. The measurements will be made before and after the
 intervention. The study will be carried out with patients evaluated by a specialist in
 Traumatology and will be randomly divided by a system of numerical tables through a computer
 program between the experimental and control groups. The control group will perform a typical
 warm-up of competitive football; and the experimental one will do this above, added to a
 specific activation of gluteus medius and core. Dynamic stability (Y-balance test) and
 postural and static stability (Flamingo balance test) will be measured before and after the
 intervention.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Perform soccer sports practice, at least 3 times a week at a competitive level.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Subjects with a knee surgery.

 -  Patients who are injured at the time of the study.
