Abstract
Background and Aims: The most important risk factors for knee injuries include weakness in core stability, poor postural stability, and excessive dynamic valgus of the knee. One of the most successful protocols for preventing knee injuries in female athletes is specialized sportsmetrics soccer training. It seems that the effect of this protocol on core stability of female soccer player with knee valgus has not been studied Materials and Methods: In the present study, 24 footballers with knee valgus in the two training (12 people) and the control group (12 people) participated in specialized sportsmetrics soccer training and regular pre-season exercises for six weeks, respectively. The tests consisted of core stability test (Trunk flexor, Trunk extensor, right side bridge, and left side bridge) and postural stability (Y balance). Results: ANKOVA test (P≤0.05) and SPSS version 25 were used to analyze the data. The results showed a significant improvement (P = 0.01) in postural stability (from 105.2 to 116.7), core stability (from 38.2 to 41.1) and knee valgus (from 25.3 to 12.4). Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the present protocol, which is designed to prevent knee injuries in female soccer players, modifies all three risk factors for knee injuries (weakness in core stability, poor postural stability, and knee valgus). Therefore, performing this protocol is recommended to all female soccer players with dynamic knee valgus.
