Perturbation Based Neuromuscular Training Effects on Peroneal Strength, Fatigue and Functional Performance Parameters
Condition: Healthy Young Women; Basketball Players
MeSH terms: Fatigue
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport
      players. Literature lacks of perturbation exercises and its effects on peroneal's muscle
      strength, fatigue and individual's performance parameters. This study will investigate if it
      is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance
      and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations.
    

Detailed description: 
      Chronic ankle instability is very common in adolescent female basketball players. In the
      literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players
      that usually contains of strength and/or balance exercises. Perturbation exercises are
      oftenly used in sport players for returning the sport or prevention but literature lacks of
      its effects statistically. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve
      improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's
      performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations. Strength and fatigue
      evaluations will be made with Cybex dynanometer. Dynamic balance evaluations will be made
      with Y-Balance Tests. Individual's performance parameter evaluations will be made with
      vertical jump test, cross jump test and side hop test.
    

Intervention name(s): Neuromuscular training
Intervention type(s): Other
Intervention description(s): Neuromuscular training is designed as 8 weeks and 2 times a week, and approximately 20 minutes per session for Neuromuscular training+usual basketball training group. Other group is only going to keep attending usual basketball training.
Neuromuscular training consisted 3 exercises:
First exercise is passing the ball to side to side on bosu with standing on one leg. 60-90 seconds on time, 30-60 seconds off time. 2 sets for both passing sides and bilaterally.
Second exercise is standing on bosu unilaterally and while standing stabilized, switching basketball hand to hand as dribbling on the floor. Exercise will be on for 60-90 seconds and off for 30-60 seconds, 2 sets for each side Third exercise is jumping with one stance/leg, and landing with double stance while a therabant is attached to the belly and pulling with a minimum/medium force from one side. Changing legs after one jump, 6 times for both side is equal to 1 set of the exercise. It will be done 2 sets for both sides.
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention model description: After first evaluation groups are randomly assigned to 2 groups. Both groups keep attending basketball trainings. One group is just going to keep attending basketball trainings, one group is going to keep attending usual basketball trainings and going to receive neuromuscular training that will be added in warming up exercises
Masking: Single (Participant)
Primary purpose: Prevention
