About this trial

Currently, it is difficult to find studies in the literature assessing the impact of manual therapy on preventing lower limb injuries in basketball players, which may later translate into improved strength and balance in athletes, when planning training or therapy programming, e.g. in patients after ankle sprains.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

healthy persons aged 18,

first league competitor,

competitor who regularly competes in the league,

expressing informed consent to participate in the study and undertakes to comply with track regulations and wear a helmet.

Disqualifiers

lack of volunteer consent,

previous surgeries of the upper, lower limb and spine,

other lower limb injuries in the last 6 months,

pain limiting participation in the study,

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Assessment of MVC.

Muscle EMG is an assessment of electrical characteristics during the test, the electrical source of which is the muscle membrane potential, and measured in μV.

Time frame
The study will be conducted 3 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention and after training). Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds.
2

Assessment of MVC.

Muscle EMG is an assessment of electrical characteristics during the test, which is measured by the repetition frequency of muscle motor unit discharges, which is measured in Hz, at the same time of the test.Time

Time frame
The study will be conducted 4 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention and after training).Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds.

Secondary outcomes

1

Assessment of proprioception.

Assessing proprioception is an assessment of the angular position of a joint and then an attempt to reproduce it, measured in degrees.

Time frame
The test will be performed three times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after the training). Each joint measurement will be performed at three settings: 15, 30, 45 degrees.
2

Y balance test

Consists of the volunteer standing on one leg while simultaneously stretching the other lower limb in 3 different directions. These are: anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral.

Time frame
The test will be conducted three times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after training).
3

Standing Long Jump Test

Attempt to jump as far as possible while landing on both feet without falling backwards. The distance will be measured and given in centimeters.

Time frame
The test will be conducted 3 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after the training). Each test is repeated 3 times.
