Study Details

Study Description

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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: exercise
  • Other: control
 N/A

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.

The control group was asked to continue the standard (routine) classical training training (5 days/12 weeks).
Experimental: exercise group

The neuromuscular training program has been adapted to ice hockey players. The content of the program includes core stabilization, balance and plyometric exercises. The session duration was set to be approximately 60-90 minutes. An average session is 15 minutes of warm-up, followed by 30-40 minutes. continued with neuromuscular training program, 15 min. It was ended with cooling and stretching exercises. Since all exercises are done with body weight, no extra equipment is needed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Y balance test [13 weeks]

    The test is a practical functional test that can predict dynamic balance and postural stability. The player's performance improves with balance, flexibility, coordination and power integration. For this test, players stand in the center of a 'Y' shaped arrangement with 3 lines drawn at certain angles. The players are asked to reach in anterior, posterolateral and posteromedial directions using one foot. Three applications are made in each direction and the average of the reach distances is recorded in centimeters. Pre-measured leg length is used to normalize the mean score of these three treatments. Percentage of maximum reach = deflection distance/leg length. Leg length; Spina iliaca anterior superior to the distal point of the medial malleolus. To obtain an overall measure of the Y Balance Test, data from all directions must be averaged to calculate the composite score.

  2. Vertical Jump Test [13 weeks]

    The Vertical Jump Test is used to evaluate muscle strength in the lower extremities. The maximum jump height reached gives information about the muscle strength and functional capacity of the lower extremities in many sports. The player keeps the feet flat on the ground. The point of the fingertips reached is recorded. This is called standing reach height. The player then begins in a stance with the knees extended, standing away from the wall, feet shoulder-width apart. After the player flexes their knees and hips, they jump up and reach the highest point they can reach with their hands. The test is performed three times and the highest distance is used as the jump height.

  3. McGill Body Endurance Test [13 weeks]

    For trunk flexors, extensors and lateral muscles, a series of isometric tests showing the endurance of trunk muscles have been defined. The test consists of 3 parts. There is a 5-minute break between each test. Tests: Trunk Flexor Muscle Endurance Assessment Right and Left Lateral Trunk Muscle Endurance Assessment Back Extensor Muscle Endurance Evaluation
