About this study
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.
Read the detailed 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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Y balance test
The test is a practical functional test that can predict dynamic balance and postural stability. The player's performance improves with balance, flexibility, coordination and power integration. For this test, players stand in the center of a 'Y' shaped arrangement with 3 lines drawn at certain angles. The players are asked to reach in anterior, posterolateral and posteromedial directions using one foot. Three applications are made in each direction and the average of the reach distances is recorded in centimeters. Pre-measured leg length is used to normalize the mean score of these three treatments. Percentage of maximum reach = deflection distance/leg length. Leg length; Spina iliaca anterior superior to the distal point of the medial malleolus. To obtain an overall measure of the Y Balance Test, data from all directions must be averaged to calculate the composite score.
Measured: 13 weeks
Vertical Jump Test
The Vertical Jump Test is used to evaluate muscle strength in the lower extremities. The maximum jump height reached gives information about the muscle strength and functional capacity of the lower extremities in many sports. The player keeps the feet flat on the ground. The point of the fingertips reached is recorded. This is called standing reach height. The player then begins in a stance with the knees extended, standing away from the wall, feet shoulder-width apart. After the player flexes their knees and hips, they jump up and reach the highest point they can reach with their hands. The test is performed three times and the highest distance is used as the jump height.
Measured: 13 weeks
McGill Body Endurance Test
For trunk flexors, extensors and lateral muscles, a series of isometric tests showing the endurance of trunk muscles have been defined. The test consists of 3 parts. There is a 5-minute break between each test.
Tests:
- Trunk Flexor Muscle Endurance Assessment
- Right and Left Lateral Trunk Muscle Endurance Assessment
- Back Extensor Muscle Endurance Evaluation
Measured: 13 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing exercise in people with Sports Physical Therapy, run by Uskudar University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Y balance test (time frame: 13 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05998057, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Dec 2023.
