Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study is designed as a cross-sectional, observational, and multi-group comparative investigation including elite adolescent male athletes from different sports branches. All participants will undergo standardized clinical and biomechanical assessments. Trunk mobility will be measured using a digital inclinometer in flexion, extension, and rotation at the lumbosacral and thoracolumbar regions. Hamstring flexibility will be assessed using the passive Straight Leg Raise test, and functional balance will be evaluated using the Y-Balance Test composite score normalized to limb length.
The primary objective of the study is to compare functional balance performance across sports branches. Secondary objectives include comparing trunk mobility and hamstring flexibility measures and examining potential associations among these biomechanical parameters. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence-based insight into sport-specific musculoskeletal characteristics and may support the development of targeted screening and injury-prevention strategies for adolescent elite athletes.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Wrestling Athletes
Elite adolescent male wrestlers. No intervention is administered; participants undergo standardized clinical and biomechanical assessments including trunk mobility (digital inclinometer), hamstring flexibility (Straight Leg Raise), and functional balance (Y-Balance Test).
Observational Clinical and Biomechanical Assessment
No intervention is administered in this study. Participants only undergo standardized observational assessments, including trunk mobility measurements using a digital inclinometer, hamstring flexibility testing with the Straight Leg Raise test, and functional balance evaluation using the Y-Balance Test. No therapeutic or experimental procedures are applied.
Sprint Athletes
Elite adolescent male sprint runners. No intervention is administered; the same standardized assessment protocol is applied, including trunk mobility, hamstring flexibility, and Y-Balance Test performance.
Observational Clinical and Biomechanical Assessment
No intervention is administered in this study. Participants only undergo standardized observational assessments, including trunk mobility measurements using a digital inclinometer, hamstring flexibility testing with the Straight Leg Raise test, and functional balance evaluation using the Y-Balance Test.
