Filter by:The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from Ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in groups A & B through the sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in group A will receive plyometric training. Group B will receive explosive strength training.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial will be to determine the effectiveness of the dynamic strength index (DSI) in optimizing training programs to improve physical performance proxies (sprinting, jumping, and CoD) in basketball players. Subjects will be randomly allocated to one of two groups: the intervention group and the control group. Measurement and intervention will occur during a 7-week in-season period, right before the play off starts. Throughout this period, all participants will engage in an average of 10 hours of basketball training per week, which will comprise 5 basketball sessions and 2 strength training sessions. In addition, they are anticipated to play 2 games weekly. A pre-test will be performed one week before the first training session, and post-tests will be performed in the week after the training sessions have finished. Athletes will perform both testing sessions at the same time of the day (± 2 hours). Each athlete will perform a 20-m sprint test, with timing gates positioned at every 5 m distance, a 505 CoD test, countermovement jump (CMJ), and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP). Based on CMJ peak force and IMTP peak force data, we will calculate DSI. Based on the average DSI value, the participants in the intervention group will be divided into two groups - strength group and ballistic group.
The study will be carried out at the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. The study has been approved by the Animal Research and Experimentation Ethics Committee of the University of Alcalá. A total of 92 female basketball players aged between 12 and 25 will be selected and randomized in two different groups. The control group will carry out a conventional preventive work out and the experimental group will carry out a specific strengthening program for the gluteus maximus in addition to the conventional preventive exercises. The treatment will take place during the basketball club season and will last 4 months, from January to April 2022. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the inclusion of a specific gluteus maximus strength program in the conventional preventive work to improve the dynamic stability and to reduce the injury rate and pain in female basketball players.
The objective of plyometric exercises is to improve the range of mobility of the ankle, as well as decrease the stiffness of this joint and increase the strength in the sural triceps, by improving the explosive elastic force. The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of plyometric exercises in increasing ankle mobility and increasing strength in the sural triceps, in professional female basketball players aged 18 to 40 years. Randomized, simple blind clinical study. 48 basketball players will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (they will perform the Counter Movement Jump (CMJ) and Drop Jump (DJ) exercises) and control (they will follow their usual routine). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of 15 minutes each. The study variables will be: range of dorsal flexion movement of the ankle (goniometry) and strength of the sural triceps (My Jump 2). A descriptive statistical analysis will be performed calculating the main statistical characteristics. The sample distribution will be analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test for related samples and with the ANOVA test of repeated measures the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. Cohen's formula will be used to calculate the effect size. It is intended to observe improvement in the range of dorsal ankle flexion movement and strength in the sural triceps.
Basketball has gained worldwide popularity and fascinated players and spectators with its dynamic characteristics as a team sport. This kind of sport is multifaceted that requires well-developed physical ļ¬tness to be played successfully. Many authors have suggested that strength, power, agility, and speed are important performance related physical components for elite basketball players. The physical components require that fitness and conditioning attributes of basketball players are well developed to negate the limiting aspect of sport performance. Moreover, functional training is becoming increasingly popular within the fitness industry and has been considered to be a better alternative than traditional training methods for improving various measures of performance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether functional training has effects on performance and related various physical components of basketball players.
