Overview
Aim of the study is to examine the impact of a history of hamstring injury on athletes by determining and comparing the pre- and post-training levels of sprint performance, agility, dynamic balance, and body awareness in football players with and without a history of hamstring injury.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to compare sprint performance (10-meter sprint test (10mST) and 30-meter sprint test (30mST)), agility (T-Test of Agility), dynamic balance (Y-Balance Test), and body awareness (Body Awareness Questionnaire) levels in licensed football players with and without a history of hamstring injury, before and after training, in order to reveal the effect of a history of hamstring injury on functional performance and acute fatigue response. Capturing acute changes with pre- and post-training measurements and comparing these between groups with and without a history of injury has the potential to make visible "intra-day/intra-training performance fluctuations" that may be overlooked upon returning to the field. This research study is designed as an observational and cross-sectional evaluation study.
Primary outcome measures
- Sprint Performance (10-meter and 30-meter Sprint Tests) [Time frame: Before and immediately after training]
- T-Test of Agility [Time frame: Before and immediately after training]
- Y Balance Test [Time frame: Before and immediately after training]
- Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) [Time frame: Before and immediately after training]
