ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a specific type of warm-up routine, called Post-Activation Potentiation (PAPE), can help improve the performance of male soccer players. The goal is to see if this warm-up method can enhance their ability to change directions quickly during a game. Soccer players will take part in two testing sessions that are 48 hours apart. During these sessions, they will first complete a pre-test, then perform the PAPE warm-up, and finally do a series of direction change tests at different times to measure their performance.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be healthy male soccer players aged between 65 and 75 years. They should be willing to stick to the planned sessions throughout the study. However, those under 18 years old or with chronic health issues that might affect their ability to exercise won’t be able to participate. This trial is currently active, but it is not recruiting new participants at this time.
