Quality of Life Scale (SF-36)

时间窗: I. evaluation: on the first day of inclusion in the study II. evaluation: after a total of 8 sessions of application, 2 days a week, in the 4th week according to the first evaluation

The SF-36 (Short Form) was used to assess participants' quality of life. It consists of a total of 36 items, including subgroups. The three major health domains included in the SF-36 are functional status, well-being, and general perception of health. These are: physical function (10 items), social function (2 items), role limitations due to physical problems (4 items), role limitations due to emotional problems (3 items), mental health (5 items), energy/vitality (4 items), pain (2 items), and general perception of health (5 items). An average score was calculated for each section. Scores for each section range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. Participants were asked to carefully read the questions and answer each question considering their current and past health status. Higher scores indicate higher quality of life. The Turkish version of this questionnaire was used in our study.

Y Balance Test

时间窗: I. evaluation: on the first day of inclusion in the study II. evaluation: after a total of 8 sessions of application, 2 days a week, in the 4th week according to the first evaluation

During the Y-balance test, it was emphasized that participants should be barefoot. Throughout the test, athletes were encouraged to stand on one leg and reach the maximum distance they could with the other leg in the anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial directions. The test device was configured with an angle of 135° between the anterior and posterior directions, and 90° in the posterior direction. To increase the reliability of the test and reduce the learning effect, each athlete performed at least six trials with each leg. To minimize the effect of fatigue, during the actual test, three repetitions were performed in the anterior direction, followed by three repetitions each in the posteromedial and posterolateral directions with each leg. If athletes touched the ground with their other foot to maintain balance, did not return to the starting position, or removed their hands from their hips to maintain balance, the relevant trial was considered erroneous and invalidated. The

Flexibility Tests

时间窗: I. evaluation: on the first day of inclusion in the study II. evaluation: after a total of 8 sessions of application, 2 days a week, in the 4th week according to the first evaluation

Flexibility Tests Sit-and-reach test: Performed with a standard bench with a 0-50 cm measuring scale, the top surface of which is 15 cm further out than where the feet rest. Trunk Hyperextension: The starting value is taken by measuring the distance between the wall and the sternal notch. With pelvic support, the patient is asked to push their torso backward from the waist. The distance between the sternal notch and the wall is measured again, and the starting value is subtracted from this value to record the amount of movement in centimeters. Trunk Lateral Flexion: The distal end of the toe finger is marked on the thigh, then the patient is asked to slide their hand down the thigh and tilt their torso to the side. Cervical rotation: The patient sits, a long stick is placed in their mouth and squeezed. The pivot point is placed in the middle of the head, the fixed arm is parallel to the floor. The movable arm follows the stick held in their mouth.
