About this study
Official title: Effects of Vibration Therapy on Muscle Soreness and Athletic Performance in Wheelchair Basketball Players
No study was found that investigated the effect of vibration therapy (VT) on recovery from exercise in WCB players. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of wearable local vibration device on muscle soreness and athletic performance during recovery from exercise in the elbow area in WCB players.
Read the detailed description
Vibration therapy (VT) has been widely used to increase performance and rehabilitate injuries in athletes. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), caused by excessive overload after training and competitions, leads to loss of performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of wearable local VT on muscle soreness and athletic performance in wheelchair basketball (WCB) players.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Muscle Soreness
Muscle soreness was evaluated for both arms of the athletes with the "Numeric Pain Scale". This scale is horizontally scored between 0-10 (0 = no pain, 10 = unbearable pain).
Measured: pre-exercise (baseline), and 30 minutes and 24 hours post-exercise
Shooting percentage
The participants were asked to shoot 10 free throws in total from the free throw line with the wheelchair after a warmup. The percentage of successful throws was accepted as the shooting percentage value of the athletes (number of successful throws x 100 / total number of throws).
Measured: pre-exercise (baseline), and 30 minutes and 24 hours post-exercise
20-meter sprint test
For the test, a 20-meter track was created on the basketball court floor, and 2 meters were added to the distance and marked so that the athletes would not slow down on the last meters. The time to complete the 20-meter track with the ready and start command of the participants was recorded with a stopwatch.
Measured: pre-exercise (baseline), and 30 minutes and 24 hours post-exercise
Joint position sense
Joint position sense was evaluated with the passive to active joint repositioning method using a digital inclinometer device. The participants sat with the elbow extended and eyes closed on their wheelchairs. The target angles were selected 30°, 60° and 90° of the elbow joint.
Measured: pre-exercise (baseline), and 30 minutes and 24 hours post-exercise
Range of motion
Both elbow joint extension/flexion angles were measured with a universal goniometer (baseline) with the arm in anatomical position on the wheelchair.
Measured: pre-exercise (baseline), and 30 minutes and 24 hours post-exercise
