Effect of Thrower's Ten Exercises on Flick Movement Kinematics in Underwater Hockey
A study testing Thrower's Ten Exercise Group in people with Hockey, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Underwater hockey is a team game which is played at the bottom of the swimming pool with palettes, a mask, a snorkel, earmuffs, a stick, and a puck. The aim of the game is for one of the teams to try to score goals to the goalpost of the other by using a flicking movement. Read more about this study

About this study
Underwater hockey is a team game which is played at the bottom of the swimming pool with palettes, a mask, a snorkel, earmuffs, a stick, and a puck. The aim of the game is for one of the teams to try to score goals to the goalpost of the other by using a flicking movement. The players can drag the puck, being a kind of ball, or pass it to a teammate to reach the opponent's goalpost. The puck is passed by way of pushing or flicking.
The Thrower's Ten exercises are used for such sports branches, which involve the upper extremity and particularly the overhead activity and throwing, in order to ensure coordination, proprioception, balance and symmetry in the double upper extremity. The Thrower's Ten exercises are comprised of special exercises selected for the improvement of the flexibility, strength and endurance of the major muscles that are frequently used for throwing and overhead activity such as deltoid muscles, supraspinatus muscles, latissimus dorsi, biceps, triceps and wrist extensors. The Thrower's Ten exercises are an exercise program that focuses on the scapular muscles, particularly on posterior rotator cuff muscles in order to ensure the balance of the anterior and the posterior shoulder muscles.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of The Thrower's Ten exercise program on the flicking movements in underwater hockey players.

the athletes were subjected to "Thrower's Ten" exercise program under the supervision of the same physiotherapist 3 days a week for a period of 6 weeks in addition to their routine practice programs.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Thrower's Ten Exercise Group | Experimental | the athletes were subjected to "Thrower's Ten" exercise program under the supervision of the same physiotherapist 3 days a week for a period of 6 weeks in addition to the routine practice programs thereof. Each session started with a 10-minute warm-up program and ended with a 10-minute cool-down program. The warm-up program included low-intensity aerobic activities and short stretching exercises. Stretching exercises for anterior-posterior-inferior capsule, right and left trapezoid muscles, chintug as well as posterior-lateral neck and latissimus dorsi muscles were given. Following the exercises, the athletes were made to perform low-intensity jogging and static stretching exercises. All athletes, who were included in the study sample, continued attending their 2-hour routine pool practice on 4 days a week in addition to the "Thrower's Ten" exercises for 6 weeks.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Flicking Distance Measurement
Flicking Distance will be measured by using video cameras. Assessment will be recorded at baseline and the end of the six weeks treatment sessions
Measured: from baseline to six weeks after treatment sessions

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?
Flicking Distance Measurement (time frame: from baseline to six weeks after treatment sessions). 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 25 Sep 2023.
