Perturbation Based Neuromuscular Training Effects on Peroneal Strength, Fatigue and Functional Performance Parameters

August 31, 2023 updated by: Ozge Kocaer, Acibadem University

The Effects of Neuromuscular Training on Peroneal Eccentric Strength, Fatigue and Functional Performance in Young Women Basketball Players

In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players. Literature lacks of perturbation exercises and its effects on peroneal's muscle strength, fatigue and individual's performance parameters. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations.

Detailed Description

Chronic ankle instability is very common in adolescent female basketball players. In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players that usually contains of strength and/or balance exercises. Perturbation exercises are oftenly used in sport players for returning the sport or prevention but literature lacks of its effects statistically. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations. Strength and fatigue evaluations will be made with Cybex dynanometer. Dynamic balance evaluations will be made with Y-Balance Tests. Individual's performance parameter evaluations will be made with vertical jump test, cross jump test and side hop test.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Neuromuscular Training+Basketball training
After all participiants are evaluated, they will be divided randomly to two groups, which one group will be taking neuromuscular training+usual basketball training

Neuromuscular training is designed as 8 weeks and 2 times a week, and approximately 20 minutes per session for Neuromuscular training+usual basketball training group. Other group is only going to keep attending usual basketball training.

Neuromuscular training consisted 3 exercises:

First exercise is passing the ball to side to side on bosu with standing on one leg. 60-90 seconds on time, 30-60 seconds off time. 2 sets for both passing sides and bilaterally.

Second exercise is standing on bosu unilaterally and while standing stabilized, switching basketball hand to hand as dribbling on the floor. Exercise will be on for 60-90 seconds and off for 30-60 seconds, 2 sets for each side Third exercise is jumping with one stance/leg, and landing with double stance while a therabant is attached to the belly and pulling with a minimum/medium force from one side. Changing legs after one jump, 6 times for both side is equal to 1 set of the exercise. It will be done 2 sets for both sides.

No Intervention: Control group(Basketball training)
After all participiants are evaluated, they will be divided randomly to two groups, which one group will be taking just the usual basketball training and not any extra interventions.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in Peroneal eccentric strength
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Force will be evaluated with Cybex Humac NORM, as Nm/kg(Newton-meters/kg). At 30° /s speed, 3 trials will be made with submaximal force for participants to understand the movement. After trials 4 maximal strength repetition will be made. Highest repetition, and average of 4 repetition will be used for analysis. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
10 weeks
Changes in Peroneal endurance parameters
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Endurance will be evaluated with Cybex Humac NORM, as Nm/kg(Newton-meters/kg). At 180° /s speed, 5 trials will be made with submaximal force for participants to understand the movement. After trials 20 maximal strength repetition will be made. Endurance is described as containing strength for a duration of time, it can be evaluted with Fatigue index/Endurance parameters will be evaluated with comparing last 10 repetion to first 10 repetion to assess the difference. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
10 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in Dynamic Balance
Time Frame: 10 weeks
It will be evaluated with Y Balance test to anterior, posteromedial, posterolateral sides. The distance will be recorded with cm's. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
10 weeks
Changes in Cross Hop Test
Time Frame: 10 weeks
It will be evaluated through cross jumping 3 times on a 6 meter-line. The distance will be recorded wtih cm's. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
10 weeks
Changes in Vertical Jump Test
Time Frame: 10 weeks
It will be evaluated with Takei Jumpmeter. The height of the jump will be recorded with Takei Jumpmetre with cm's. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
10 weeks
Changes in Side Hop Test
Time Frame: 10 weeks
2 lines with 30 cm distance will be placed. Players will complete 10 jumping from side to side without stepping on the lines. Unsuccessfull jumps will be excluded. The time will be recorded with chronometer. Before and after the intervention evaluation will be made.
10 weeks
