The Relationship Between Postural Stability, Performance and Trunk Muscle Endurance in Female Athletes
An observational study of Sports Physical Therapy, run by Gazi University.
Trial summary
As core stability improves in handball players, ball-throwing speed increases as well. Postural stability is considered as the most important component of athletic performance as it occurs in almost all movement types. Read more about this study

About this study
As core stability improves in handball players, ball-throwing speed increases as well. Postural stability is considered as the most important component of athletic performance as it occurs in almost all movement types. No studies have yet evaluated postural stability, performance and trunk muscle endurance in female athletes at the same time and examined the relationship between these parameters.This study aims to identify the relationship between the postural stability, performance and trunk muscle endurance of female athletes in different branches of sports.
Read the detailed description
A total of 45 female athletes (15 volleyball, 15 handball, and 15 football players) (average age: 22,26 ± 6,43 / BMI: 21,45 ± 2,39) and 15 sedentary females (average age: 24,86 ± 3,02 / BMI: 21,42 ± 1,90) participated in the study. Trunk muscle endurance of the participants was measured with the McGill core endurance tests and the prone bridge test. Postural stability of the participants was evaluated using Biodex Biosway Portable Balance System (950- 460 USA) device. Sportive performance was tested with the vertical jump test and the hexagonal obstacle test.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Sports Physical Therapy, run by Gazi University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
postural stability (time frame: Baseline assessment, no follow-up). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2018.
