简要总结
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of myofascial release on foot mobility and sportive performance in basketball players with hypomobile feet. This study was designed as randomized controlled experimental research.
详细描述
Hypomobility in the foot structure causes functional limitations. These functional limitations affect the sportive performance negatively, especially in basketball where dynamic movements such as jumping and sudden change of direction are very intense. In this context, reducing hypomobility is important in terms of eliminating performance disorders caused by hypomobility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of myofascial release on foot mobility and sportive performance in basketball players with hypomobile feet. This study was designed as randomized controlled experimental research. Twenty-four male basketball players (23.46±2.81 years) participated in the study. Athletes were first subjected to foot mobility, balance and vertical jump tests. Then the participants were divided into two groups as myofascial release (MR) and placebo myofascial release (PMR). Myofascial release was applied to the MR group and placebo myofascial release was applied to the PMR group. After the application, foot mobility and performance measurements were performed again and the results were analyzed. It was observed that there was a significant difference in right foot mobility (RFM), left foot mobility (LFM), vertical jump (VJ) and dynamic balance (DB) parameters after the application in MR group (p<0.001), while there was no change in any parameter after the application in PMR group (p>0.05). The results of this study show that a single session of myofascial release applied to the plantar sole temporarily increased foot mobility and improved vertical jump and dynamic balance performance in basketball players with chronic hypomobility.

结局指标
主要结局
hypomobility measurement
时间窗: 6 hours
Therefore, firstly, the degree of foot mobility of all participants was measured, and height and body weight measurements the balance characteristics and vertical jump levels of the participants who met the inclusion criteria were determined. TParticipants were not informed which group they were in. The MR group received myofascial release and the PMR group received placebo (superficial) myofascial release. All myofascial release applications were performed by an expert physiotherapist. After the application, the degree of foot mobility, balance characteristics and vertical jump levels of the participants were measured again. In order to determine the duration of the acute effects of mobility after myofascial release, the MR group was subjected to a 2-hour standard basketball training after the second measurements. Foot mobility was measured three more times at one-hour intervals in the first hour of the training, at the end of the training and then at rest.
次要结局
