Brief summary
Investigating the acute effects of mobilization on these parameters offers innovative insights for the practitioner community and sheds light on the strategy's potential effectiveness in mitigating injury risk. Therefore, this study aims to assess the immediate effects of mobilization on static and dynamic balance in young male and female soccer players using a randomized, double-blinded study design.
Detailed description
Participants underwent assessment twice: once before the intervention and again afterward. Tests included the single leg lend and hold test and the single leg standing test, measured using force plates.
