Brief Summary

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

In this study, it is aimed to remove the limitations that cause asymmetry and weak connections in functional movement patterns with myofascial relaxation method to be applied to certain muscles and to remove the obstacles in front of the power factor as a result of its application, to reach the highest efficiency of the athlete's performance and to reduce the risk of injury in the musculoskeletal system.Study; It was planned as a control group (n:30) and an intervention group (n:30). Apart from routine training, the intervention group will be treated twice a week for 6 weeks before the training. On the other hand, no application will be made to the control group other than routine training. The evaluations are; It will be done at the beginning of the study and after the 6-week period.

Detailed Description

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

The study will be randomly divided into two groups and it is planned to include 30 people in each group.

After evaluations (demographic information, functional movement screening test (FMS), t agility test, vertical jump test, muscle strength test, muscle viscoelasticity and star balance test) were made at the beginning of the study in the intervention group (n=30), twice a week for 6 weeks. Myofascial release technique will be performed before the training. Final evaluations will be made 6 weeks after starting the intervention.

The control group (n=30) was excluded from the routine training period for 6 weeks after evaluations (demographic information, functional movement screening test (FMS), T agility test, vertical jump test, muscle strength test, muscle viscoelasticity and star balance test) were made at the beginning of the study. No action will be taken. At the end of 6 weeks, evaluations will be made again.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomized with the randomization program called Calculator Soup® (Ashland Global, USA) and divided into 2 groups as intervention and control groups.

The intervention group; (n=30) at the beginning of the study, after the initial evaluations (demographic information, functional movement screening test (FMS), t agility test, vertical jump test, muscle strength test, muscle viscoelasticity and star balance test) were made, twice a week for 6 weeks, pre-training myofascial release technique will be applied. Final evaluations will be made when the intervention period is over.

The control group; (n=30) will do their routine training for 6 weeks after the first evaluations (demographic information, FMS, t agility test, vertical jump test, muscle strength test, muscle viscoelasticity and star balance test) and no application will be made. Final evaluations will be made at the end of 6 weeks.

Final evaluations will be made when the intervention period is over.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myofascial Release Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The increasing number of basketball players also increases the risk of sports-related injuries. Basketball has the highest injury risk of all sports because the game is so powerful and fast moving. Myofascial release therapy; ıt is a form of manual therapy applied on the muscle fascia complex to restore optimal length, reduce pain and improve functions. It is known to be effective in providing rapid relief of pain and tissue sensitivity. By restoring the length and health of the restricted connective tissue with the myofascial release therapy, it aims to relieve pressure on pain sensitive structures such as nerves and blood vessels, as well as improves sports performance.

Control Group

The control group; (n=30) will do their routine training for 6 weeks after initial evaluations (demographic information, FMS, t agility test, vertical jump test, muscle strength test, muscle viscoelasticity and star balance test).No action will be taken. Final evaluations will be made at the end of 6 weeks.
