Brief Summary

Basketball is a team sport where aerobic and anaerobic performance is important. Knowing how to reduce common injuries and risk is important when designing a warm-up exercise program for basketball. Various warm-up programs, including neuromuscular training, are thought to reduce the incidence of lower extremity injuries and improve athletic performance in athletes. There are several neuromuscular training programs designed to improve joint position sense, increase joint stability, develop protective joint reflexes, and ultimately prevent lower extremity injuries. In the literature, there is a need for studies comparing the effects of various warm-up programs applied to adolescent licensed basketball players on injury risks and basketball-specific sportive performance parameters. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of different exercise programs on injury risk and sportive performance in adolescent basketball players.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Functional Movement Screen

  Functional Movement Analysis (FMS) will be used to determine the risk of injury and functional movement. Identification of movement disorders assists clinicians in the preparation and implementation of an appropriate rehabilitation program following injuries and the development of injury prevention plans. FMS consists of 7 subtests including the deep squat, high stepping, cross stepping, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability, rotational stability. It is stated that there is a risk of injury below 14 points, with a maximum of 21 points.

Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in the control group will continue their routine warm-up programs.

Other: Routine Exercise Program

Core Stability Group

EXPERIMENTAL

A warm-up program including core stability exercises will be applied to the participants.

Other: Core Stability Exercise Program

Neuromuscular Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

A warm-up program including dynamic neuromuscular exercises will be applied to the participants.

Other: Body Weight Neuromuscular Warm-Up Program

Interventions

Routine Exercise Program OTHER

8 weeks of routine basketball training will be done. Dynamic stretching exercises, in which large muscle groups are exercised, can be applied for 20 minutes.

Control Group

Core Stability Exercise Program OTHER

In addition to the 8-week routine basketball training, 20 min core stability exercises will be given to the Core Group. Core stability exercises will be performed on the stable surface for the first 4 weeks, and core stability exercises will be performed on unstable surfaces for the next 4 weeks.

Core Stability Group

Body Weight Neuromuscular Warm-Up Program OTHER

Each 20-minute program consists of 5 different parts. The beginning of the program consists of low-speed running exercises with the ball. The running track for each exercise will include 4 basketball court areas. The second part consists of active stretching exercises. The third part consists of exercises focusing on general strength. The fourth part consists of plyometric, balance, and jump exercises. The final section consists of a sprint with sudden changes of direction and basketball movements.
