简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a core training intervention on jump-landing biomechanics in female amateur basketball players. Additionally, it will assess the impact of this intervention on jumping performance. The primary questions it aims to answer are:
- Does a core training intervention reduce jump-landing biomechanics errors, as measured by the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)?
- Will the LESS items related to core and trunk stability improve following the core training program?
- Will the core training program enhance jumping performance in female amateur basketball players?
- Is there a relationship between poor LESS scoring and poor jumping performance? Researchers will compare the effects of a core training intervention applied during the warm-up in basketball training with the standard warm-up routine typically used at this basketball level.
Participants will be asked to:
- Attend the scheduled assessments at three points during the study: before the intervention begins, at the end of the 8-week intervention period, and after a 3-month follow-up period.
- Teams in the intervention group will incorporate the core training exercises during their warm-up, twice a week, over the 8-week period.
- Teams in the control group will continue their standard warm-up routine without any modifications.
- All participating teams will document the training sessions completed by the players to monitor adherence to the program.
详细描述
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a core training intervention on jump-landing biomechanics and jumping performance in female amateur basketball players. Given the high incidence of lower limb injuries in this population, it is essential to identify training interventions that can reduce injury risk and enhance athletic performance.
This is a cluster parallel randomized clinical trial involving female amateur basketball teams. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which will receive core training during warm-up sessions, or the control group, which will continue with their standard warm-up.
The primary objectives of this study are to:
- To investigate the effect of a core training program on biomechanical alterations, measured using the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS), during jump landings in female amateur basketball players.
- To analyze the results of LESS items in a sample of female amateur basketball players.
The secondary objectives are to:

研究组 & 干预措施
Core training program
This group will participate in the core training intervention integrated into the warm-up during basketball training sessions. The core training program will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks. The intervention focuses on improving core and trunk stability to reduce jump-landing errors and enhance jumping performance.
干预措施: Core training program in female amateur basketball players (Other)
Standard warm-up
This group will participate in the core training intervention integrated into the warm-up during basketball training sessions. The core training program will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks. The intervention focuses on improving core and trunk stability to reduce jump-landing errors and enhance jumping performance.
结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline in the mean Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) score after 8-week intervention and 3-month follow-up
时间窗: From baseline (pre-intervention), after 8 weeks of intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
The primary outcome measure is the change in the mean score of the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) at three time points: baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the 8-week intervention, and following a 3-month follow-up period. The LESS is a validated observational tool used to assess jump-landing biomechanics, focusing on errors in movement patterns that may increase injury risk. Participants will perform a Drop Vertical Jump (DVJ) task, which will be recorded and analyzed. A single trained evaluator will assess the video recordings using the LESS criteria. A lower LESS score indicates fewer movement errors and improved jump-landing biomechanics.
次要结局
- Change in jump height measured during drop vertical jump (DVJ) using a contact platform(From baseline (pre-intervention), after 8 weeks of intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.)
