Registration Number
NCT05928559
Lead Sponsor
Bezmialem Vakif University
Brief Summary

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition, aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength in young male basketball players.

The study will take place at a local basketball academy. Young male athletes between the ages of 10-24 and enrolled in a basketball academy will be included in the study. Participants who have been involved in basketball for less than a year, and those who have injuries that prevent participation in the study will be excluded.

Detailed Description

Individual development differences in young people can have an impact on physical fitness components such as aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength required for basketball. At the same time, differences in these components can have effects on each other.

There is a complex relationship between anthropometric changes during growth and physical fitness because many differences can occur during the physiological development of players. In this context, differences in growth rate and development in young basketball players are complex factors that affect game performance and player success. Characteristics such as body height, body weight, skeletal muscle ratio and body fat are among the basic anthropometric components of a basketball player, and these components are considered to be important indicators of a player's game performance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Body Mass IndexOne Month

The body mass index of the participants will be calculated and recorded with the formula kg/m\^2.

Body WeightOne Month

Participants' body weights will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in kilograms (kg).

Body HeightOne Month

The body lengths of the participants will be evaluated with a tape measure and recorded in meters (m).

Skeletal Muscle MassOne Month

Participants' skeletal muscle mass will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in percent (%).

Visceral FatOne Month

Participants' visceral fat will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in levels.

Trunk Muscle EnduranceOne Month

Trunk extensor muscle endurance will be evaluated with Biering-Sorensen Test and trunk flexor muscle endurance will be evaluated with Kraus-Weber Test. The maximum time the participants can continue the test will be recorded in seconds.

Body FatOne Month

Participants' body fat will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in percent (%).

Resting Metabolic RateOne Month

Participants' visceral fat will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in kilocalories (kcal).

Aerobic CapacityOne Month

Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max)

Muscle StrengthOne Month

M. Quadriceps, M. Hamstring, M. Biceps Brachii and M. Triceps Brachii muscles will be evaluated in Newtons (N) with MicroFET® 2 hand dynamometer.
