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

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
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.

İntervention Group
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.
Myofascial Release Therapy
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.
