Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: NA
Conditions: Sports Physical Therapy
Keywords: Ice hockey

Lead sponsor: Uskudar University
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2023-08-18
Enrollment: 50
Sex: FEMALE
Minimum age (years): 15
Maximum age (years): 30
Standard ages: CHILD
ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: The intervention group will be given neuromuscular exercises 5 days a week for 12 weeks.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in dynamic balance, vertical jump and trunk endurance parameters in athletes included in body weight neuromuscular program in addition to regular training programs.

Detailed description: As a randomization method, the participants will be divided into two groups as control and experimental groups by using a computer-based program and a simple randomization method. This study will be scheduled five times a week for six weeks. After the evaluations, all exercises will be taught to the experimental group by the physiotherapist. While the experimental group will apply to this program and traditional education, the control group will continue to the traditional education program. Since all exercises are done with body weight, no extra equipment will be needed. Reviews:

Balance evaluation: Y balance test The Vertical Jump Test will be used to evaluate muscle strength in the lower extremities.

McGill Trunk Endurance Test: To be used for Muscular Endurance Assessment.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being a licensed athlete of any team affiliated with the Turkish Ice Hockey Federation and competing in the league,
* Athletes who do not use any medication and do not have a medical condition that would interfere with the tests
* be between the ages of 15-30

Exclusion Criteria:

* Not having had a musculoskeletal injury in the last 1 year that would prevent him from training or that would affect the results of the measurements.
