The present pilot study aimed to investigate whether a 6-week multicomponent intervention, comprising a structural lumbopelvic and sprint technique program, could reduce anterior pelvic tilt in soccer players who regularly participated in soccer practice.
This pilot study aimed to evaluate the impact of a 6-week multicomponent intervention combining lumbopelvic control exercises and running technique training on pelvis structure and lower limb kinematics in semi-professional soccer players. Seventeen players were randomly assigned to a control group (CG) or an intervention group (IG). Data on static anterior pelvic tilt (APT) and three-dimensional kinematics during high-speed running (HSR) and high-speed soccer running (HSSR) were collected before (PRE) and after (POST) the intervention period.

Anterior Pelvic Tilt (APT) Reduction.
The primary outcome measure is the reduction in static anterior pelvic tilt (APT) immediately after 6 weeks of the multicomponent intervention. APT is measured using a three-dimensional kinematic analysis during static and high-speed running tasks. The reduction in APT will be assessed before (PRE) and immediately after (POST) the intervention period to determine the effectiveness of the intervention in modifying pelvic alignment.
Time frame: Baseline (PRE) and immediately after 6 weeks of intervention (POST).
biomechanical variables during high-speed running (HSR) and high-speed soccer running (HSSR) tasks
"This outcome measure assesses changes in specific biomechanical variables, including segment orientations (trunk, pelvis, femur, and tibia) relative to the sagittal plane, and joint angles (hip flexion and knee flexion) during high-speed running (HSR) and high-speed soccer running (HSSR) tasks. The study aims to evaluate the shift towards a more front-side oriented sprint technique model and the associated improvements in sprint performance time. Measurements will be taken using three-dimensional motion capture analysis to quantify the kinematic changes during HSR and HSSR."
Time frame: Baseline (PRE) and immediately after 6 weeks of intervention (POST).
