About this study

Official title: The Effects of Progressive Core Stabilization Exercise Training on Muscle Strength, Endurance, and Balance in Adolescent Female Volleyball Players

A study to investigate the effects of 6 week-core stability training on adolescent volleyball players

Read the detailed description

Aim: The purpose of this study is to reveal effectiveness of 6-week progressive core stabilization exercise training on muscle strength, endurance, and balance in adolescent female volleyball players.

Method: Adolescent female volleyball players will be divided into study and control groups. Both groups will continue their routine ball training (30 times/day, totally 6-week), the SG will also participate in progressive core stabilization exercise training (45 min/session, 3 times/week, totally 6-week). Core muscle endurance (sit-ups test, lateral bridge test and Biering Sorenson Test), isokinetic muscle strength test of gluteus medius (Biodex 3 dynamometer in 1800/s, 2700/s, and 3600/s) and balance (Star Excursion Balance Test) will be evaluated in all players before and after 6-week follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sit up test

    Athletes will lay on the mat in a supine position. Athletes will be asked to lock their hands behind their necks and stand up until their shoulder-scapula break contact with the ground within 30 seconds (s) and 1 minute (min). Movement will be taught by being given the right to try it once. The number of repetitions of the athlete within the given periods will be recorded.

    Measured: 2 days

  2. Lateral bridge tests

    The athlete will be asked to lay on her side, and a support surface will be created with the lower arm starting from the elbow. The athlete will be informed to hold uninvolved arm akimbo and lift the hips and knees off the ground. All athletes will be allowed to try once before the real test. During the performance, the time when the hips and knees are lifted off the ground with maintained balance while keeping body symmetry will be recorded in second (s) unit by using chronometer. R and L sides will be measured consecutively.

    Measured: 2 days

  3. Biering-Sorenson Test

    To evaluate endurance of the back extensor muscles, the athlete will be asked to lay face down with his body hanging off the bed from the anterior superior iliac spine. The athlete will be fixed from the legs at the level of the gastrocnemius muscle and will be asked to keep the torso parallel to the ground against gravity, with the hands clasped on the chest. Partial trunk extension will be allowed. The time she could stand parallel to the ground will be recorded in second (s) unit by using chronometer. The time will be stopped as soon as body parallelism was broken.

    Measured: 2 days

  4. Star Excursion Balance Test

    Right and left leg balance of the athletes will be tested with shoes. A star shape will be created on the floor by using 8 taping measures. Standing on the side to be tested, foot at the center point of the star, the athlete will be asked to reach and return with her foot in the air in 8 directions without losing her balance. Right side balance will be evaluated first. For this purpose, the athlete will be asked to reach forward, anteromedially, medially, posteromedially, posteriorly, posterolaterally, laterally, anterolaterally three times with her left foot in a clockwise order. A rest period of 5 min will be given and the same procedure will be repeated for the left foot. Values will be recorded in centimeters (cm) and the average of obtained 3 values will be used in the analysis.

    Measured: 2 days

  5. Isokinetic Test

    The strength and endurance of the gluteus medius muscle will be evaluated with the Isokinetic System Biodex 3 device. Before the evaluation, the athletes will be given stretching exercises to warm their lower extremity and waist muscles. For the test, the athletes will be asked to abduct their hips as strong and fast as possible on standing while their hands are on their waist. Before evaluations, a trial will be given to teach movement. After trial, the athlete will perform 5-5-15 repetitions, consisting of a total of 3 sets of 180, 270 and 360 degree per second (0/s), respectively. There will be a 40-second break between each measurement. The athlete will rest for 2 minutes between right and left hip measurements.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Weight

    Weight of the players will be assessed in kilogram unit by using weighting machine

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Height

    Height of the players will be assessed in meter unit by using tape measure

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Body Mass Index (BMI)

    BMI value will be calculated by using formula and noted in kg/m^2 unit.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Menstruation period

    Period that have passed since their first menstruation will be noted in month unit.

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Sports Age

    Period that have passed since their start of playing volleyball.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Progressive Core Stabilization Exercise Training in people with Core Stability and Sports Physical Therapy, run by Halic 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 6 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 27 Jun 2024. 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?

Sit up test (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 5 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 27 Jun 2024.
