Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of a 12-week proprioceptive training program on the neurofunctional control and the incidence of ankle sprains in fencing athletes. The study will be developed in six stages: familiarization, pre intervention, intervention, post intervention follow-up of three and six months. In the pre intervention stage will evaluate muscle strength inverters, everter, dorsal plantar flexors and ankle flexors through the isokinetic dynamometer; the reaction time of these muscles during Lunge Test; neuromuscular control during the Star Excursion Balance Test and performance in Drop Vertical Jump Test. In the intervention athletes will perform proprioceptive training for 12 weeks, three times a week, lasting 30 minutes. In the post intervention, the follow up of three to six months will be held the same pre intervention of the tests and recording the incidence of injuries occurred during the study. The expected result at the end of the study is to improve all variables, increasing the performance of athletes and decreasing the incidence of ankle sprains.

OTHER

Proprioceptive Training

In this study the training program will be developed for 12 weeks and will be applied during the heating of the athletes , three times a week and the duration of each session is 30 minutes. Each week will be chosen three of the 14 exercises adapted for fencing athletes , and preferably one of each category.

OTHER

Control Group

The control group will not make the intervention and will continue with usual training fencing.
