Filter by:Improvement of proprioception in athletes has been found to be effective in preventing fear of movement. The importance of these parameters has not been sufficiently emphasized in volleyball players. In addition, the relationship between upper extremity proprioception and the sense of touch, which is an important component of the somatosensory system, and common anxiety states in athletes has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between shoulder joint proprioception and psychometric parameters, kinesiophobia and palmar tactile sensation in volleyball players.
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.
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.
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.
This study aims to assess the recovery kinetics following an exercise-induced muscle damage activity (using flywheel) on active healthy university students. The main questions are: - Is intermittent pneumatic compression superior to a placebo recovering from EIMD? Participants will perform a fatiguing protocol using flywheel and recover with either intermittent pneumatic compression or with a placebo treatment (micro-current treatment, but the device turned off). They will perform several performance tests before, following the recovery period, and at the 24h and 48h following the intervention
This study will be a randomized clinical trial will be conducted in Ayub national park cricket club Sample size will be 48 to evaluate the effects of Pilates and Burpees exercises training among cricket players with an age range of 16-24 years. Non probability convenient sampling technique would be used. Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group A will include participants who received Pilates exercises training (6 weeks) along with the warm up. Group B participant who will receive burpees exercise training (6 weeks) and warm up. Outcomes of both trainings are the effects on core strengthening and dynamic balance on players in A group and the B group. Post interventional assessment was done via Star excursion balance test, prone bridge test and 1 minute sit-up test. Data will be collected at baseline and 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25
The aim of this randomized crossover trial is to assess the hemodynamic effects caused by the use of 2 distinct intermittent pneumatic compression protocols on athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does intermittent pneumatic compression enhance athletes blood flow? - If yes, what pressure is better to cause this enhancement?
The aim of this study is to investigate muscular activations during various quadriceps exercises commonly used in clinical settings.
It is essential to practice and train appropriate activation techniques to ensure optimum strength development. Knowing the effects of exercise variations that will minimize the tension forces acting on the knee by increasing the activation of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex muscles, which are critical during sports activities, is extremely important in terms of preventing injuries. The aim of this study is to compare muscular activations during traditional and suspension-based Bulgarian split squat exercises and to examine the effect of trunk position on muscular activations.
