Brief Summary

In order to examine the effects of hip strength training on upper extremity function and performance, 60 healthy volleyball players with an age range of 13 to 40 years will be included in our study. Shoulder joint range of motion, shoulder and hip muscle strength, upper extremity functional performance, and spike speed will be evaluated. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups as Training Group (TG) (will receive 6-week, 3 days a week, hip strength training in addition to their sport-specific training) and Control Group (CG) (will continue their sport-specific training). Evaluations will be repeated 3 times before exercise training, after 6 weeks of exercise training, and at the 12th week, and the results will be analyzed.

Conditions

Volleyball; Healthy

  Baseline, 6 weeks later and 12 weeks later

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Shoulder range of motion

  Baseline, 6 weeks later and 12 weeks later

• Hip strength

  Baseline, 6 weeks later and 12 weeks later
