Filter by:This prospective feasibility study is designed to assess pre-operative BFR in patients awaiting ACL reconstruction. This study will serve the following: (1) to determine if BFR improves strength testing prior to surgery and (2) to determine if BFR reduces QF muscle group atrophy prior to surgery. Additionally, preliminary results on pre-operative clinical and quality of life scores will be collected. If this study shows encouraging results, it will serve as a template for a more comprehensive randomized control trial.
Purpose: The physical, physiological, and functional characteristics of archers affect target shooting performance. In our study, we aimed to examine the effect of pulmonary functions and respiratory muscle strength on sports performance in archers. Methods: Our study included 46 (27 female, 19 male) professional archers registered in archery sports clubs. Sociodemographic and physical characteristics were recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, shooting performance test, Moberg-pickup collection test, Nelson hand reaction test, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) were applied to all participants.
This study aims to investigate the acute effects of PNF modified sleeper stretches and percussive massage treatment on shoulder rotation movements and attack speed in female volleyball players and compare these applications.
Neural mobilizations (NM) are defined as interventions that aim to directly or indirectly affect neural structures or surrounding tissue through manual techniques or exercise. Neural mobilizations have been studied in both patients and healthy populations. In the study, individuals in the amateur football team will be divided into three groups and will be given pre-training warm-up periods, including neural mobilization, dynamic and static stretching.After the warm-up period, its effect on flexibility and performance will be examined and compared.
To determine the association of hand and forearm anthropometrics on grip strength and forehand smash quality of badminton players after six-weeks of elastic resistance training.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial and the data will be collected from National Cricket Academy and domestic cricket clubs. The sample size will be calculated by conducting a pilot study. There will be three groups. Group-A will be receiving Complex training, Group-B will be receiving Conventional training and Group C as a Control Group. Athletes with same physical fitness level will be recruited. There will be parallel assignment of the participants. Assessor will be kept blinded. All the parameters would be assessed at Baseline, 6 Weeks, 12 Weeks. Physical fitness will be assessed through Field Testing. Bowling performance will be assessed through speed machine and Kinovea Software. Work capacity will be assessed through step testing. Muscle strength will be assessed through Dynamometer. Lastly, BMD will be assessed though Bone Densitometer.
This study aims to examine the relationship between scapular endurance, core endurance, and upper extremity performance in adolescent tennis players. The hypothesis of this study is that better scapular/core endurance in adolescent tennis players is associated with better upper extremity performance. Establishing this relationship will contribute to identifying the exercise training necessary to improve upper extremity performance in tennis players.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of a synchronous-supervised online home-based group during a 6-month exercise program on physical fitness, body composition and adherence compared to an exercise recommendation group of patients undergoing breast cancer treatment without supervision.
In archery, the body morphological and anthropometric characteristics of the prominent athletes change. It is important to examine facial anthropometry, especially since the athlete's equipment touches the facial area, and there are no studies on this subject. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between facial anthropometric measurements and anthropometry-related parameters and sports performance in archery athletes.
The objective of the study is to examine the reliability of the Upper Limb Rotation Test in adolescent male basketball players aged between 14 and 16. According to the sample size calculation for the study, 51 athletes were included. The Upper Limb Rotation Test was administered to the athletes twice, with a one-week interval. The athlete was positioned in a plank stance with shoulder, elbow lateral epicondyle, greater trochanter, and ankle lateral malleolus making contact with the wall. The athletes were instructed to perform a 90° abduction and 90° external rotation of the shoulder, accompanied by trunk rotation for a duration of 15 seconds. The number of repetitions was recorded. The tested side was the upper extremity in which the closed kinetic chain position was maintained. The test was repeated three times, and the average of the results was calculated. The Upper Extremity Rotation Test is a reliable assessment tool for evaluating performance in adolescent basketball players aged 14-16, particularly in relation to shooting skills.
