Abstract

Background: Women's football has experienced exponential growth over the last 10 years. Its popularity is associated with an increase in ACL injuries. They constitute a major current problem as they account for 43% of the injury burden during the sports season. Despite the existing training programs, no uniform criteria have been established to design a precise intervention protocol, with specific tasks linked to women's football, nor has it been proposed to optimize the current programs.

Methods: Randomized, double-blind, single-center clinical trial protocol scheduled for the 2025-2026 women's football season. There will be 2 groups: a group that will follow a specific ACL injury prevention protocol and a control group. The intervention period will last 12 weeks. Measurements will be taken at 3 time points. The biomechanics of the lower limbs, the jump-landing dynamics, and the pre- and post-training satisfaction of the players will be evaluated. Image capture and processing systems will be used as well as tests such as the DVJ and the LESS scoring system, among others.

Discussion: This protocol aims to be one of the first to implement an ACL injury prevention program for women footballers with DKV. Despite the scarcity of research in this area, studies support beneficial effects at a preventive level.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06083818. Registered on 03 October 2023.

治疗性运动方案预防女足球运动员动态膝外翻前交叉韧带损伤（RCT）。

背景：在过去的10年里，女子足球经历了指数级的增长。它的流行与前交叉韧带损伤的增加有关。它们构成了当前的一个主要问题，因为它们占运动季节受伤负担的43%。尽管有现有的训练计划，但没有建立统一的标准来设计精确的干预方案，并将具体任务与女子足球联系起来，也没有提出优化现有计划的建议。方法：随机、双盲、单中心临床试验方案，计划于2025-2026年女子足球赛季进行。将有两组：一组将遵循特定的ACL损伤预防协议和对照组。干预期将持续12周。测量将在3个时间点进行。对运动员下肢的生物力学、起落动力学以及训练前后的满意度进行评估。将使用图像捕获和处理系统，以及诸如DVJ和LESS评分系统等测试。讨论：本协议旨在成为第一个为患有DKV的女子足球运动员实施ACL损伤预防计划的协议之一。尽管这方面的研究很少，但研究支持在预防层面上的有益效果。试验注册：ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06083818。注册于2023年10月3日

期刊介绍： Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
