No specific exclusion criteria
Treatment and study plan
advise for exercices given by team staff
OtherTo respond to questions asked:
it is not the investigator who decides on the intervention, but the daily team staff (e.g. trainer, coach, PT,.....). So no predetermined intervention is provided
Primary outcomes
-
2D and 3D joint angles of different movements together with kinetics
Time frame: 1 day
kinematics and kinetics with regard to gait, running, jumping and arm movements. This means for example joint angles (measured by 3D motion analyses data, 2D measurement data) and kinetics (joint moments, pressure plate measurements) Time frames: these data will recorded by one measurement session. For information of clinicaltrials.gov (also other outcome measures): at this point it really is an observational study. It is a kind of "service project" for an elite athletes team. Advice is provided, but not as is meant within a real clinical trial. It might evolve to such a project, but at this state it is not the case.
Secondary outcomes
-
muscle strength
Time frame: 1 day
isokinetic measurements (expressed in Nm)
-
muscle strength
Time frame: 1 day
isokinetic measurements (ratio agonist/antagonist as for example ratio between knee flexors/extensors) Time frames: these data will be recorded during one measurement session. This is during same session as for primary outcome measure.
