Summary

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is vital for knee stability, and ACL injuries in futsal can lead to long-term issues. Reconstruction surgery may be affected by Anthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI), especially in the vastus medialis muscle. This study aims to compare AMI in futsal players with ACL injuries to those without injuries, focusing on measurement techniques, sports performance, muscle strength, and recovery time. The research involves evaluating 54 players (27 injured and 27 non-injured) at various stages of the season using strength tests and imaging.

Anthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI) Assessment Protocol

This study involves evaluating Anthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI) of the vastus medialis muscle in futsal players. The intervention includes assessments of muscle strength, AMI using electromyography, ultrasound evaluation, and single-leg vertical jump tests. These evaluations are conducted at different stages throughout the season: pre-season, 4 months in, and at the end of the season. The goal is to compare AMI levels and muscle function between players with ACL injuries and those without.
