Brief Summary

Basketball is an aerobic-based anaerobic sport that calls for both high-intensity movements like jumping (for rebounds, blocks, and shots), spins, dribbling, sprinting, and screening and low-intensity movements like walking, stopping, and running.This sport requires sudden and fast movements where jumping performance is often a decisive factor for sporting success and Whether crouching in a defensive situation or throwing a long pass, a player needs to have a sufficient level of flexibility for adequate efficiency. Fascia connects the structures of the body with muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Limitations may occur due to injury. These limitations can reduce flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination.Therefore, this study aims to compare the acute effects of manual and self-myofascial release on flexibility and jump performance in basketball players. The secondary aim was to examine the acute improvements in flexibility and jump performance after myofascial therapy.

Conditions

Myofascial Spasm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• counter movement jump(CMJ)

  Players were asked to jump as high as possible; the highest jump will then was recorded in centimeter scoring: The timing mat may give a score of the time in the air, and the calculated vertical jump height can be calculated. Height can be calculated using this formula: jump height = 4.9 x (0.5 x Time)\^2 ). The jump height is usually greater than achieved with the Squat Jump.

  a day before the rehabilitation

• counter movement jump(CMJ)

  Players were asked to jump as high as possible; the highest jump will then was recorded in centimeter scoring: The timing mat may give a score of the time in the air, and the calculated vertical jump height can be calculated. Height can be calculated using this formula: jump height = 4.9 x (0.5 x Time)\^2 ). The jump height is usually greater than achieved with the Squat Jump.

  at the time of discharge(2 weeks)

• Squat jump (SJ)

  The squat jump test measures explosive strength. This test is performed by starting with your knees bent in a 90 degree angle, and jumping vertically as high as possible from that position. Hands should be held on the hips to avoid the effect of arm swinging to the test.

Study Arms (2)

Foam Roller group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Myofascial release with foam roller, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscle groups were trained with foam roller for 30 seconds with 2 repetitions

Other: Self myofascial Release

Manual myofascial release group(Hands on)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

We used the following treatment protocol for all patients in the MFR group. The techniques were performed by a physiotherapist with experience in MFR.

Other: myofascial release

Interventions

Self myofascial Release OTHER

Myofascial release participants on their own will roll the foam roller in each area for two minutes.

Also known as: SMFR

Foam Roller group

myofascial release OTHER

Myofascial release will be applied to the participants by the physiotherapist.

Also known as: Hands-on

Manual myofascial release group(Hands on)
