Abstract :

Background and purpose: Functional indicators and specifically, balance, flexibility and strength of hamstring muscles can have a significant impact on the competitive performance of soccer players, so that it can even reduce the injuries of soccer players to some extent. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using Theraband(elastic band) along with regular football training on the performance indicators of soccer players.Material and Methods: 16 soccer players working in the leagues of Tehran province participated in this research and were randomly divided into two groups of eight people, including the Theraband group (usual soccer training and Theraband training) and the control group (usual soccer training). The training protocol included six weeks of 90-minute football training and 3 sessions per week. The difference between the exercises of the two groups was the core of the exercises in 20 minutes, and the Theraband group did special exercises with the Theraband stretcher during this 20-minute period. The pre-test and post-tests of both groups were taken in the same way and at the same time. The players' balance was measured by the Romberg test, and the players' flexibility was measured by the Wells test (sitting and extending the arms), and the strength of the hamstring muscles was measured by the Biodex model dynamometer. 3 Made in the USA was measured.
