Effect of Whole-body Vibration on Postural Stability, Muscle Flexibility and Lower Limb Power in Young Basketball Players with Generalized Joint Hypermobility

NCT ID: NCT06691737

Last Updated: 2024-11-15

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 75 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2025-01-20
• Study Completion Date: 2025-06-04

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) on postural stability, flexibility of the lumbar-pelvic-hip complex and lower leg muscles, and jumping ability in basketball players aged 9-15 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does WBV affect the level of postural stability in basketball players aged 9-15 years? Does WBV affect the level of postural stability in basketball players aged 9-15 years? Does WBV affect the flexibility of the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, posterior group of hamstrings, soleus and gastrocnemius in basketball players aged 9-15 years? Does WBV affect the jump height, relative peak power, contraction time in basketball players aged 9-15 years?

Participants will take part in 6 vibration sessions at 20Hz over 6 weeks. Vibration will be performed on the Galileo Med35 platform (3x3 min).

Conditions

Generalized Joint Hypermobility

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NON_RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: CROSSOVER
• Primary Study Purpose: PREVENTION
• Blinding Strategy: DOUBLE

Study Groups

Generalized Joint Hypermobility

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Whole Body Vibration

Intervention Type: OTHER

Whole body vibration consists of 3-minute vibrations with a 30-second break. Participants were asked to step onto the platform barefoot and position their feet "3" from the center of the platform, with feet pointing forward, knees slightly bent, and upper limbs along the body. The training was divided into two parts: week 1 with a frequency of 20 Hz, and a constant amplitude of 3 mm.
