About this study

Official title: A Comparison of a Dance Programme Delivered With the XBOX Kinect With Traditional Agility Ladder Drills on Agility Scores of Club Level Volleyball Players of the University of the West Indies, Mona

Read the detailed description

A randomised clinical trial will be used consisting of 34 (17 in each group) athletes undergoing training. Both groups will undergo one hour of training three times weekly for six weeks, with one group doing dance training (DT) using the Xbox Kinect and the other doing standard training (ST) using traditional ladder drills. Outcomes will be assessed using the Illinois Agility test for agility, sit and reach test for general flexibility, straight leg raise test for hamstring flexibility and the Thomas test for hip flexor extensibility.

Conditions: Healthy Athletes
Being tested: XBOX Kinect Just Dance 2014, Agility Ladder Drills

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Change in Agility From Baseline to 6 Weeks
Illinois Agility Test - The athlete is timed during completion of a marked out course
Measured: baseline and at 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)

Change in Hamstring Extensibility From Baseline to 6 Weeks
Straight leg raise test - the person lies on their back and are asked to lift the leg straight up trying to keep the knee straight. The knee angle is measured with a goniometer.
Measured: Baseline and at 6 weeks
Change in Hip Flexor Extensibility From Baseline to 6 Weeks
Thomas test - person lies on their back with the one leg held close to the chest and the other hanging off the bed. The angle at the knee is measured with a goniometer.
Measured: baseline and at 6 weeks
