Perturbation Based Neuromuscular Training Effects on Peroneal Strength, Fatigue and Functional Performance Parameters

The Effects of Neuromuscular Training on Peroneal Eccentric Strength, Fatigue and Functional Performance in Young Women Basketball Players

In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players. Literature lacks of perturbation exercises and its effects on peroneal's muscle strength, fatigue and individual's performance parameters. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations.

Chronic ankle instability is very common in adolescent female basketball players. In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players that usually contains of strength and/or balance exercises. Perturbation exercises are oftenly used in sport players for returning the sport or prevention but literature lacks of its effects statistically. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations. Strength and fatigue evaluations will be made with Cybex dynanometer. Dynamic balance evaluations will be made with Y-Balance Tests. Individual's performance parameter evaluations will be made with vertical jump test, cross jump test and side hop test.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• That has a injury within 6 months with missing trainings at least 2 times in a row or having vestibuler dysfunction
