Brief Summary

Plyometric exercises are used in many sports branches to increase sportive performance and neuromuscular coordination. It is known that side values such as the time to reach peak torque next to muscle strength, which is one of the evaluations of sportive performance, are also important. Our aim with this study is; To evaluate the effects of plyometric exercises on proprioception, time to peak torque and performance in young female basketball players by training the dominant and non-dominant upper extremity on these parameters.

Conditions

Plyometric Exercise; Proprioception; Upper Quarter y Balance Test; The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test

Keywords

plyometric exercise; upper extremity; proprioception; upper quarter y balance test; basketball; ckcuest

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Proprioception

  The player will be laying down on the Cybex Humac NORM device and the investigators will be quetioning the player to put her arm in the same position as the investigatorsdo while her eyes are closed. The investigators will show the player 3 times and make he player do the angles themselves again 3 times and note down the degrees that are more than ours or less ( eg. if the investigators show them 90° and they do 93° the investigators write down the 3°.) The angles the investigators are using are 0°, 90° and 172°. After the exercise period ends, same staff will measure the same angles and see if there is any difference.
