Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this prospective study, male jump-landing athletes (volleyball and basketball) will be screened pre-season and followed for one consecutive season. Pre-season screening consists of 3D biomechanical analysis of standardized (such as drop vertical jump) and sports-specific jumps (such as stop-jump) before and after a high-intensity, intermittent exercise protocol and clinical field tests (such as force measurements).

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Jump-landing biomechanics [1 year]

      Full-body (trunk, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle) jump-landing biomechanics (3D joint angles and moments) during drop vertical jumps, block jumps and spike jumps

    2. Jump-landing biomechanics after fatigue [1 year]

      Full-body (trunk, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle) jump-landing biomechanics (3D joint angles and moments) during spike jumps during and after a fatigue protocol

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Clinical tests - force [1 year]

      Force measurements of the quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteal muscles by means of hand-held dynamometry

    2. Clinical tests - mobility [1 year]

      Flexibility of the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles, and ankle dorsiflexion angle during dynamic weight-bearing lunge

    3. Clinical tests - foot posture [1 year]

      Navicular height and position of the calcaneal bone

    4. Clinical tests - force endurance [1 year]

      Prone bridge until fatigue

    5. Clinical tests - endurance [1 year]

      Intermittent yo-yo test (level 1)
