THE EFFECTS OF CORRECTIVE EXERCISE AND KT APPLICATIONS IN YOUNG BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Официальное название

THE EFFECTS OF CORRECTIVE EXERCISE AND KİNESİOTAPE APPLICATIONS ON PERFORMANCE AND FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY IN YOUNG BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Обзор

The main objective of this research is to comparatively examine the effects of corrective exercise programs and kinesio taping (KT) applications on performance parameters and functional mobility in adolescent male basketball players. Kinesio taping is used with the aims of regulating muscle tone, increasing proprioception, improving circulation, and supporting pain management. In this context, corrective exercises are applied to correct movement disorders, eliminate musculoskeletal imbalances, and improve the functional movement quality in athletes. Although the effects of both methods on the performance parameters and functional mobility of athletes have been examined separately in the literature, a direct comparative study in adolescent basketball players is noticeable.

Подробное описание

Basketball is characterized by dynamic movement patterns involving high intensity, multi-plane, and sudden changes in direction. These characteristics require athletes to have highly developed physical parameters such as balance, strength, flexibility, and coordination. At the same time, the application of supportive methods to minimize the risk of injury without experiencing performance loss is of great importance in terms of training science and athlete health.

This research aims to achieve the following objectives:

Comparison of the effects of corrective exercise and chemotherapy on functional mobility in young basketball players, Analysis of the effects of both methods on fundamental performance parameters such as vertical jump, balance, acceleration, and change of direction, Measurement of pre- and post-application improvement levels through functional movement screening tests (e.g., Y-balance test, single-leg squat test, overhead squat, etc.), Evaluation of the effect of chemotherapy when combined with a corrective exercise program compared to applications performed alone, Providing concrete suggestions that can be used in planning preventive and performance-enhancing approaches for young basketball players. This research contains measurable objectives based on scientific data and is applicable in a short time, and aims to obtain important findings that will contribute to the performance development of young athletes in the field of sports science.

The study will include a total of 45 basketball players from Avrupa Karşıyaka Sports Club. The players will be divided into three groups using a simple lottery method: a kinesio taping group, a corrective exercise group, and a control group. Study timeline: The project will be completed within 12 months after obtaining ethical approval from the İstinye University Human Research Ethics Committee.

Sample and research group: Basketball players from Avrupa Karşıyaka Sports Club will be included in the study. 45 volunteer players meeting the inclusion criteria will be included. The sample size was calculated using \*Power Version 3.1 software. For our study, with 80% power and a type 1 error of 0.05, and a moderate effect size (effect size = 0.54), it was found that a total of 45 people should be included in the study, with 15 people in each of the three different groups, to compare the effects.
