Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• vertical jump height

  Optojump device was used for the assessment of jump height. Optojump is an optical sensor system used for sports and performance analysis. It accurately assesses athletes' fundamental parameters like jumping, speed, agility, and vertical leap to measure and enhance their physical abilities. The device uses a series of sensors and specialized software to monitor athletes' performance, enabling them to plan more effective training and continuously improve their performance.

• Y Balance Test

  The Y Balance Test evaluates an individual's dynamic balance, flexibility, and overall neuromuscular control. Commonly used in physiotherapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, it involves a series of movements where an individual maintains balance on one leg while reaching as far as possible with the other leg in various directions, forming a Y shape. Health professionals obtain valuable information about lower limb strength and stability by measuring the reached distances and assessing the ability to control multi-directional movements.

  8 weeks

• Fatigue Severity Scale

  this scale comprises nine items. Participants rate their agreement with each statement on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates strong disagreement and 7 indicates strong agreement. A score of 4 or higher generally indicates severe fatigue

  8 weeks

• The Shuttle Run Test

  It increases in difficulty as participants try to cover the specified distance within shorter intervals between shuttles. The number of completed shuttles reflects the individual's aerobic endurance level, serving as a common too for adjusting training programs and monitoring endurance levels for athletes and sports teams.
