Acute Effects of Trampoline Exercises

Investigation of the Acute Effects of Trampoline Exercises on Balance, Proprioception, Vertical Jump and Cognitive Functions

The aim of the study is to investigate the acute effects of trampoline exercises on balance, proprioception, vertical jump and cognitive functions. As a result of the study, it is thought that trampoline exercises will affect balance, proprioception, vertical jump, cognitive functions and myotonometric properties of the muscle more positively than walking.

30 healthy, volunteer women who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into two group randomly. The women in the study group will be evaluated before the first trampoline exercise sessions and the acute effect will be evaluated by re-evaluating at the end of the 45-minute (min) session. The control group women will be evaluated and after 45 minutes of walking, they will be evaluated again for the acute effect over the relevant parameters. The evaluations to be made to the participants are given below;

• Demographic Information Form (Age, height (cm), weight (kg), occupation, education level, previous and present diseases, smoking, etc.)
• Balance Evaluation - Y Balance Test
• Ankle joint position sense - Electrogoniometer
• Cognitive assessment - Stroop test
• Vertical jump test - tape measure
• Myotonometric properties of gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior and peroneal muscles- Myoton device

Inclusion Criteria:

• Females who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily,
• Female individuals between the ages of 18-65 years old
• Females who have mini mental test score more than 25

Exclusion Criteria:

• Those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m²,
• Pregnant women,
• Those with following problems; neural findings, malignancy, inflammation, arthritis, metabolic bone disease, column vertebralis or lower extremity surgery, cardiovascular system diseases, severe osteoporosis, communication and hearing disorders, chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension,
• Those who illiterate,
• Individuals who do sports for more than 150 minutes a week,
• Individuals with a professional sports background, Individuals who do sports for more than 150 minutes a week
