Effectiveness of isolated ankle strengthening and functional balance training in single leg drop jump land in football players and measuring the stability

Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Football is one of the famous sports in the world and associated with many ankle injuries in football players. Many football players use single leg drop jump landing ranging from 13 to 20 out of 1000 players. Functional balance maintain or improve activities of daily living and quality of life. Strength training increases the density of bone and reduces the risk of fractures. Aim of this present study is to analyze the effectiveness of the isolated ankle strengthening and functional balance training in single leg drop jump land in football players.
 Materials and Methods: 30 football players with single leg drop jump were randomly selected to participate in this pre and post test experimental study. Study is done at ACS medical college. Selected players were asked to perform the exercise for about 8 weeks, 40 minutes per day. The subjects performed ankle strengthening for 20 minutes and functional balance training for 20 minutes. Dorsiflexors are at high-risk injury during single leg drop jump land in football players. Thus, exercise is given for strengthening and functional balance and prevailing stability of ankle is measured using foot and ankle measure (sub scale) (FAAM), Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT).
 Results: On comparing mean values of SEBT within group between pretest and post-test values, it shows statistically highly significant difference and improvement in balance between pre-test (89.67) and post-test (94.18) at P<0.001. On comparing the mean value of FAMM sports subscale within group between pretest and post-test values, it shows statistically highly significant difference and improvement in ankle and foot physical function between pretest (45.34) and post-test (60.81) at P <0.001.
 Conclusion: This study shows that isolated ankle strengthening, and functional balance training is effective in improving the ankle strength and balance in football players.

Application of Machine Learning and Information Coverage Centralized Genetic Method in Safety Management of Football Training

“…Vaishnavi experts put forward that the most vulnerable part of football players is the ankle. During training, strength training in the way of one-foot high jump and landing can reduce the risk of fracture and increase bone density [ 4 ]. Narizuka et al select the spatial evaluation to complete the analysis of football game.…”

Apparent Strain Measurement of Ankle Joint in Football Sports Based on Data Mining Algorithm

“…The cluster implementer can summarize the final clusters and find the characteristics of each cluster [13]. A good cluster analysis algorithm is to improve the similarity of objects within the same cluster as much as possible and reduce the similarity between different clusters, and a suitable metric can be selected for the measure of similarity [14,15] (3) Classification: first, selecting the training set that has been classified from the data, and using the data mining classification technology on the training set to establish a classification model. Classifying unclassified data, for example, credit card applicants can be classified as low-, medium-, and high-risk levels (4) Association rules: association analysis is used to explore the association between different data items in data records and generate association rules between data items.…”
