• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT06351709
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Bilgi University

Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of heat, cold and stretching on knee proprioception and vertical jump. 60 healthy individuals were randomized into hot, cold, stretching and control groups of 15 each. Pre-test and post-test measurements were made immediately after the application. Knee proprioception was measured with a digital goniometer using the EPD (joint position sense) test. Vertical jump heights were measured with contact mat by countermovement (CMJ) and squat splash (SQS) tests.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Vertical Jump Distance Measurement	Before and immediately after application	Two types of vertical jump distances, squat jump and countermovement jump, were evaluated using a Fusion Sport ® brand jump meter (Fusion Sport, SmartJump; Colorado, USA) with a sensitivity of 1 nanometer, which is one thousandth of an antimeter. Both tests were repeated a total of 3 times and the best results were recorded.
Joint Position Sense Measurement	Before and immediately after application	For the active joint position sense test, which measures the individual's ability to find the taught target angle, a BASELINE ® brand digital goniometer (BASELINE ® Evaluation Instruments, Digital Absolute + Axis goniometer; NY, USA) with a sensitivity of 0.1° was used.
