An interventional study of foot exercise in Healthy, sponsored by Universidad del Magdalena. Completed at 1 site in Colombia. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 26 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-08-15.
Sponsored by Universidad del Magdalena · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The purpose of the study is to assess whether high or low arch foot types influence the overall performance of the athlete.
After meeting the eligibility criteria for the study, university athletes have their general athletic condition variables evaluated in the laboratory and in the field. Subsequently, athletes with high and low arches perform 12-week foot muscle strengthening exercises to re-evaluate the variables in both athletes with high and low arch types who performed the strengthening exercises, as well as those with neutral arch who did not perform the exercises.
This is the only study on the registry with Universidad del Magdalena as lead sponsor.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Athletes do 12 weeks of exercises and then evaluate how they influenced core stability
Other: foot exercise
Athletes do 12 weeks of exercises and then evaluate how they influenced on sport performance
Other: foot exercise
These are foot and ankle muscle strengthening exercises described and evaluated by the literature
Alterations change from baseline of the muscles of the center of gravity at 12 weeks
Measurement of the activity of the muscles of the center of gravity with electromyography 1. Voltage amplitude of the anterior rectus muscle measured in millivolts 2. Erector spinae muscle voltage amplitude measured in millivolts 3. Voltage amplitude of the external oblique muscle measured in millivolts 4. Voltage amplitude of the Internal oblique muscle measured in millivolts Electrodes were placed on the subjects according to literature recommendations (Oliva-Lozano \& Muyor, 2020). Three sets of three exercise repetitions were performed (García-Vaquero et al., 2012).

The dynamic stability in terms of left-right and forward/backward displacement were measured in centimeters The participants were instructed to perform five single-leg jumps using their dominant foot.
Time frame: Baseline and week 12
Alterations change from baseline of dynamic stability: covered area at 12 weeks
The dynamic stability in terms of covered area measured in centimeters² The participants were instructed to perform five single-leg jumps using their dominant foot.
Time frame: Baseline and week 12
Alterations change from baseline in sport performance of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) and anaerobic threshold (AT) at 12 weeks
We used an Ergospirometry system to assess: VO2max and AT measured in milliliters/kilogram/minute They followed Marcos' protocol for a continuous treadmill exercise test (Marcos et al., 2018) and estimated VO2max and AT.
Time frame: Baseline and week 12
Alterations change from baseline in sport performance of countermovement jump test: maximum force measured at 12 weeks

Time frame: Baseline and week 12
Alterations change from baseline in sport performance of countermovement jump test: rate of force development at 12 weeks
Sport performance of countermovement jump test: rate of force development measured in Newton/kilogram/second. For the countermovement jump (CMJ), participants started upright, knees and hips flexed, and then jumped while crossing their hands behind their back (Bobbert et al., 1996).
Time frame: Baseline and week 12
