Trial summary

The specific training of the elastic-explosive force of the muscles involved in vertical jump and active mobilizations is used to improve the quality of the jump. It is also intended to reduce the loss of centimeters, recovery times and fatigue produced during a series of vertical jumps. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of a Physiotherapy Intervention Through an Elastic-explosive Strength Training Combined With Active Joint Mobilizations, on the Improvement of the Efficiency of Repeated Vertical Jumping in Basketball Players

The specific training of the elastic-explosive force of the muscles involved in vertical jump and active mobilizations is used to improve the quality of the jump. It is also intended to reduce the loss of centimeters, recovery times and fatigue produced during a series of vertical jumps.

The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of active mobilizations together with specific training in lower limbs, in ankle mobility, the perception of effort and the height and resistance of vertical jumping in amateur basketball players.

Randomized clinical study. 50 basketball players from 20 to 35 years will be randomized to the study groups: control group (resistance strength exercises, elastic-explosive force) and experimental group (resistance strength exercises, elastic-explosive force together with active mobilizations). The dependent variables will be: repeated jump (15 second Jump test, my Jump 2), maximum vertical jump (CMJ free arms, my Jump 2), subjective perception of effort (Borg scale) and ankle dorsiflexion (goniometer). The sample distribution will be calculated using a Kolmogorov-Smmirnof analysis. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test and with an ANOVA of repeated measures the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula.

It is expected to observe an improvement in the resistance of vertical jumps, with a decrease in the loss of centimeters in the repetitions of jumps.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline maximum vertical jump after treatment and at month

    The My Jump 2 application will be used. With the video we can see the moment when the feet do not touch the ground and with this data the application automatically calculates the height in centimeters. From a squat position, the player will have to perform a vertical jump, landing in the same starting position.

    Measured: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline resistance of the explosive force after treatment and at month

    The 15 sec repeated jump test will assess the resistance of the explosive force. With the My Jump 2 application we will calculate the height in repeated jumps in 15 seconds. To do this, we will ask the athlete to, from a squat position, perform 15 repeated vertical jumps, returning to the starting position every time.

    Measured: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

  2. Change from baseline subjective perception of effort after treatment and at month

    We will use the modified Borg scale with a scoring range of 1 to 10 points (the higher the score, the greater the perception of effort). The concept of perceived effort is a subjective assessment that indicates the person's opinion regarding the intensity of the work performed. 1 indicates little fatigue, 10 is the maximum effort perceived by the athlete

    Measured: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

  3. Change from baseline dorsal ankle flexion after treatment and at month

    This variable will be measured with the use of a goniometer. With the athlete standing, from a stride position, with the first finger placed 10 cm from the wall, we will ask him to do a knee flexion towards the wall, with the heel always resting on the floor. We will place the goniometer axis in the center of the outer malleolus. The fixed arm will be parallel to the ground, while the mobile arm will be aligning the fibula. The unit of measure is the degrees.

    Measured: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Elastic-explosive and resistance strength and Elastic-explosive strength in people with Basketball Players, run by Investigación en Hemofilia y Fisioterapia at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change from baseline maximum vertical jump after treatment and at month (time frame: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit). 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 2 Sep 2021.
