About

The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in dynamic balance, vertical jump and trunk endurance parameters in athletes included in body weight neuromuscular program in addition to regular training programs.

Full description

As a randomization method, the participants will be divided into two groups as control and experimental groups by using a computer-based program and a simple randomization method. This study will be scheduled five times a week for six weeks. After the evaluations, all exercises will be taught to the experimental group by the physiotherapist. While the experimental group will apply to this program and traditional education, the control group will continue to the traditional education program. Since all exercises are done with body weight, no extra equipment will be needed. Reviews:

Balance evaluation: Y balance test The Vertical Jump Test will be used to evaluate muscle strength in the lower extremities.

McGill Trunk Endurance Test: To be used for Muscular Endurance Assessment.

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 15 to 30 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

50 participants in 2 patient groups

control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

The control group was asked to continue the standard (routine) classical training training (5 days/12 weeks).

Treatment:

Other: control

exercise group

Experimental group

Description:

The neuromuscular training program has been adapted to ice hockey players. The content of the program includes core stabilization, balance and plyometric exercises. The session duration was set to be approximately 60-90 minutes. An average session is 15 minutes of warm-up, followed by 30-40 minutes. continued with neuromuscular training program, 15 min. It was ended with cooling and stretching exercises. Since all exercises are done with body weight, no extra equipment is needed.
