Effectiveness of Stabilization Exercise in Youth Basketball Players With Ankle Sprain
Condition: Basketball Player; Injury, Ankle
MeSH terms: Ankle Injuries
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Ankle injuries are one of the most common sports injuries. Ankle injuries account for 10% to
      30% of all injuries and 5% to 20% of all time-wasting injuries. Athletes involved in sports
      such as football, basketball, and volleyball are particularly at risk for such injuries,
      largely due to the running and jumping activities involved. Basketball has one of the highest
      injury rates of any team sport, with 10 injuries in a 1000 hour period.
    

Detailed description: 
      The ankle is anatomically strong because of the structure of the bones and ligature that make
      it. Despite this, ankle injuries are the most common type of injury in sports injuries due to
      the stress and impact of athletes. It is estimated that 25% of the injuries occurred were
      ankle injuries. Approximately 85% of ankle injuries are lateral ankle sprain.

      In basketball, ankle sprain is the most common type of injury. This is because repeated
      jumps, landings and sudden changes of direction in the nature of basketball. Due to
      degeneration in the bond structure as a result of ankle sprained, balance problems are also
      seen in athletes. Therefore, it is important that athletes evaluate the jump performance. In
      order to better understand the type and severity of injury of athletes, it is necessary to
      assess not only the physical characteristics but also the anxiety of physical activity and
      the relationship between this anxiety and injury, as fear of moving in athletes can develop
      as physical and psychological maturity is not developed enough during the pub period. The
      fear of moving can negatively affect the healing phases of the injured athlete, or even delay
      healing.

      Plyometric training has been proven to improve muscle strength and power production. In
      addition, regular exercise can lead to significant improvements in postural control, jumping,
      sprinting, diversion speed and agility performance in young basketball players. Fear of
      re-injury is the fear of being vulnerable to painful re-injury even though physical recovery
      has been achieved. This situation also has an effect on psychological changes such as
      movements to protect the muscles, insecurity and focusing problems in the physiologically
      injured area. Studies show that fear of re-injury also influences muscle activation patterns,
      influencing muscle recovery, neuromuscular function, and rehabilitation outcomes. As a
      result, this delays the return to sports.
    

Intervention name(s): Exercise; Exercise 2
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): After evaluating the age groups and physical characteristics of the athletes under the titles of Warm-Up, Core/Balance/Reactive, Speed/Agility/Quickness, Resistance and Cool-Down, the exercise programs that differ for the athlete under these exercise types are listed with the NASM program and shared with the athletes. During the 8-week period between the 2 evaluations, it was applied 2 days a week on the team's fitness days.; After evaluating the age groups and physical characteristics of the athletes under the titles of Warm-Up, Core/Balance/Reactive, Speed/Agility/Quickness, Resistance and Cool-Down, the exercise programs that differ for the athlete under these exercise types are listed with the NASM program and shared with the athletes. During the 8-week period between the 2 evaluations, it was applied 2 days a week on the team's fitness days.
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention model description: Athletes included in the study; They were divided into two groups as those with ankle injury and those without. After the first measurements and evaluations were made, the athletes were given a program that included strength and stabilization exercises. After 8 weeks, the athletes were evaluated for the second time and the effects of the given exercise program on the athletes were examined.
