Perturbation Based Neuromuscular Training Effects on Peroneal Strength, Fatigue and Functional Performance Parameters

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy Young Women; Basketball Players
• Interventions: Other: Neuromuscular training

• Registration Number: NCT05594628
• Lead Sponsor: Acibadem University

Brief Summary

In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players. Literature lacks of perturbation exercises and its effects on peroneal's muscle strength, fatigue and individual's performance parameters. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations.

Detailed Description

Chronic ankle instability is very common in adolescent female basketball players. In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players that usually contains of strength and/or balance exercises. Perturbation exercises are oftenly used in sport players for returning the sport or prevention but literature lacks of its effects statistically. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations. Strength and fatigue evaluations will be made with Cybex dynanometer. Dynamic balance evaluations will be made with Y-Balance Tests. Individual's performance parameter evaluations will be made with vertical jump test, cross jump test and side hop test.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Neuromuscular Training+Basketball training	Neuromuscular training	After all participiants are evaluated, they will be divided randomly to two groups, which one group will be taking neuromuscular training+usual basketball training

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in Peroneal endurance parameters	10 weeks	Endurance will be evaluated with Cybex Humac NORM, as Nm/kg(Newton-meters/kg). At 180° /s speed, 5 trials will be made with submaximal force for participants to understand the movement. After trials 20 maximal strength repetition will be made. Endurance is described as containing strength for a duration of time, it can be evaluted with Fatigue index/Endurance parameters will be evaluated with comparing last 10 repetion to first 10 repetion to assess the difference. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
Changes in Peroneal eccentric strength	10 weeks	Force will be evaluated with Cybex Humac NORM, as Nm/kg(Newton-meters/kg). At 30° /s speed, 3 trials will be made with submaximal force for participants to understand the movement. After trials 4 maximal strength repetition will be made. Highest repetition, and average of 4 repetition will be used for analysis. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in Cross Hop Test	10 weeks	It will be evaluated through cross jumping 3 times on a 6 meter-line. The distance will be recorded wtih cm's. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
Changes in Dynamic Balance	10 weeks	It will be evaluated with Y Balance test to anterior, posteromedial, posterolateral sides. The distance will be recorded with cm's. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
Changes in Vertical Jump Test	10 weeks	It will be evaluated with Takei Jumpmeter. The height of the jump will be recorded with Takei Jumpmetre with cm's. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
Changes in Side Hop Test	10 weeks	2 lines with 30 cm distance will be placed. Players will complete 10 jumping from side to side without stepping on the lines. Unsuccessfull jumps will be excluded. The time will be recorded with chronometer. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
