Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of ski sport on physical performance, pain, and quality of life compared to sedentary individuals of similar age groups and to examine the existence of gender-specific differences.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of skiing on physical performance, pain, quality of life, and gender-specific differences. In this context, aerobic/anaerobic performance, body balance, hand-grip strength, and back-leg-chest strength were evaluated in male and female ski athletes and age- and sex-matched sedentary controls.

In addition, pain experiences, low back pain-related disability level, and quality of life of all participants were questioned using SF 36, McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLBPDQ), and VAS scales.

The data thus collected were used to determine whether skiing had any effect on physical performance and quality of life, as well as the possible impact of skiing on gender-specific differences.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Skiers group

The skiers group was formed from licensed ski athletes (17 male, 17 female) who have been active in sports for at least the last 2 years.

There will be no interventions. Physical performance tests and observational assessments will be conducted.

Intervention Type OTHER

There will be no interventions. Physical performance tests and observational assessments will be conducted.

Control group

The control group was composed of non-athletic and age-matched participants (17 male, 17 female) with no skiing experience.

There will be no interventions. Physical performance tests and observational assessments will be conducted as in the Skiers Group.
