Abstract

Background: There is a high incidence of soccer injuries and current injury prevention programs are shown not being effective. Optimizing movement patterns will enhance performance and prevent injuries. This pilot study will focus on the transfer from the laboratory to the field. Environmental factors, random practice and external focus of attention could lead to a better transfer. Method: Two young female soccer talents at the Regional Talent Center soccer North are included in this pilot study (aged 14.2 years, 165.5cm, 51.75kg). They are measured and trained for four weeks during laboratory and field sessions. During all sessions, they wore an Xsens suit with 17 sensors. Movement patterns were measured with baseline, post- and retention test. They performed single and double leg landing tests and side-step cutting tests. Each next training session, exercises became more difficult and had increasing contextual interference. Transfer of learned movement technique was measured during field sessions. Results: Results showed progress in executing single leg hop condition (greater ankle plantar flexion) and it was retained over time. Large differences were found between laboratory and field sessions with respect to movement patterns. Conclusion: With respect to injury risk, these differences show that on-field research is important and representative when looking at movement patterns. More research is needed to draw conclusions.
