About this study
Official title: Determination of the Effect of Hamstring Muscle Length on Lunge Distance in Fencing Athletes
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hamstring muscle length on lunge distance in fencing sword athletes.
Read the detailed description
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hamstring muscle length on lunge distance in fencing sword athletes. A goniometer was used to assess hamstring muscle length and a tape measure was used to assess lunge distance in 20 athletes who agreed to participate in the study and signed the consent form. We believe that the results of our study will provide new perspectives on increasing the success of fencing sword athletes and reducing their injuries. SPSS 24.0 program will be used for statistical analysis. Pearson correlation test will be applied to evaluate the relationship between hamstring muscle length and lunge distance.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hamstring Muscle Length
The athlete was positioned supine with the hip joint at 90 degrees of flexion and was asked to perform active knee extension. The waist and the knee that was not being measured were fixed to the bed. The athlete was asked to slowly extend the knee, and the measurement was recorded with a goniometer at a level where there was no tremor in the knee.
Measured: at baseline
Lunge Distance
Lunge distance was evaluated by measuring the distance between the position of the front foot on the ground in the anguard position and the new position of the front foot on the ground after the lunge, using a tape measure.
Measured: at baseline

Primary outcome
Hamstring Muscle Length
Time frame: at baseline
The athlete was positioned supine with the hip joint at 90 degrees of flexion and was asked to perform active knee extension. The waist and the knee that was not being measured were fixed to the bed. The athlete was asked to slowly extend the knee, and the measurement was recorded with a goniometer at a level where there was no tremor in the knee.
Lunge Distance
Time frame: at baseline
Lunge distance was evaluated by measuring the distance between the position of the front foot on the ground in the anguard position and the new position of the front foot on the ground after the lunge, using a tape measure.
Results and safety
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
