The Effect of Sports-Metrics Soccer Training (SMST)on Core Muscle Endurance (CME) in Female Soccer Players with Dynamic Knee Valgus (DKV)

Knee Ligament injuries, specially ACL rupture, are very common in female soccer players. Weakness in CME and DKV are the key risk factors for ACL and other lower extremity injures. The SMST is one of the successful lower extremity injury prevention protocols in the female soccer player’s. But its effect on the CME in female soccer player’s with DKV has not been studied. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of the SMST on CME in female soccer player’s with DKV.The subjects of this randomized controlled trial consist of ۲۴ young female soccer players with DKV and randomly divided into two groups (TG: Training Group, n=۱۲, Mean±SD age: ۲۰.۱±۲.۰ years, weight ۵۶.۲±۴.۹ kg, height ۱۶۴.۲±۷.۳ cm, BMI ۲۰.۸۹±۱.۹ kg/m۲, and experience ۵.۱۷±۱.۹ years) and (CG: Control Group, n=۱۲, Mean ± SD age:۱۹.۷۵±۱.۷ years, weight ۵۳.۵±۵.۳ kg, height ۱۲۶.۳.۹±۵.۳ cm, BMI ۲۰.۳±۱.۸ kg/ m۲, and experience ۵.۴±۲.۱ years). The TG performed ۱۸ sessions SMST and CG continued normal exercises. Pre-test and post-test assessment’s included CME test (Trunk flexor, Trunk extensor, right side bridge, and left side bridge). The SPSS (version ۲۵) and the ANCOVA test (P≤۰.۰۵)was used to analyze the statistical data.The results of the ANCOVA showed that a significant improvement (P=۰.۰۱) in CME in TG (from ۳۸/۲ to ۴۱/۱), but in CG the CME did not change significantly. Therefore,۱۸ sessions SMST during ۶ weeks increased the CME by ۷.۵% in the TG with DKV.The SMST is a specialized soccer neuromuscular exercise designed to prevention lower extremity (specially ACL) injuries in female soccer players Base on literature the DKV and weakness in CME are the key risk factors for lower extremity (specially ACL) injuries. Therefore, performing SMST is recommended for female soccer player’s whit DKV because it is effective in both preventing injuries and significant improvement CME.
