Conditions
Brief summary
Currently, it is difficult to find studies in the literature assessing the impact of manual therapy on preventing lower limb injuries in basketball players, which may later translate into improved strength and balance in athletes, when planning training or therapy programming, e.g. in patients after ankle sprains.
Interventions
OTHERManual therapy
This technique involves a low-amplitude, high-velocity push on the hip joints with an additional two-second tension
OTHERPlacebo
This technique involves a low-amplitude, high-velocity push on the shoulder and elbow joints with an additional two-second tension
OTHERExercise
The following exercise will be performed: lunges

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of MVC. | The study will be conducted 3 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention and after training). Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds. | Muscle EMG is an assessment of electrical characteristics during the test, the electrical source of which is the muscle membrane potential, and measured in μV. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of proprioception. | The test will be performed three times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after the training). Each joint measurement will be performed at three settings: 15, 30, 45 degrees. | Assessing proprioception is an assessment of the angular position of a joint and then an attempt to reproduce it, measured in degrees. |
| Y balance test | The test will be conducted three times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after training). | Consists of the volunteer standing on one leg while simultaneously stretching the other lower limb in 3 different directions. These are: anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral. |
| Standing Long Jump Test | The test will be conducted 3 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after the training). Each test is repeated 3 times. | Attempt to jump as far as possible while landing on both feet without falling backwards. The distance will be measured and given in centimeters. |
