The Effect Of Plyometric Training On Balance And Proprioception In Different Branches Athletes (Plyometric)

March 2, 2023 updated by: mustafa gulsen

The Effect Of Plyometric Training On Balance And Proprioception

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of plyometric training on balance and proprioception in athletes in different branches.

54 athletes participated in the study. Two groups were included as 27 athletics and 27 karate groups. Plyometric training was applied to the athletes participating in our study, 2 days a week for 6 weeks, after 20 minutes of warming up and stretching movements before each training. Sociodemographic characteristics of the athletes were recorded. Dynamic balance Y balance test and static balance Stroke balance test; sense of proprioception was evaluated with Angle reproduction test.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: athletes
Plyometric training was applied to the athletes (Group 1) (n=27) participating in our study, 2 days a week for 6 weeks, after 20 minutes of warming up and stretching movements before each training. Sociodemographic characteristics of the athletes were recorded. Dynamic balance test was applied with Y balance test and static balance was applied with strok balance test before and after plyometric training. Proprioception assessment was applied with kinematic angle reproduction test before and after plyometric training.

Plyometric training was applied to the karate practitioners (Group 2) (n=27) participating in our study, 2 days a week for 6 weeks, after 20 minutes of warming up and stretching movements before each training. Sociodemographic characteristics of the athletes were recorded. Dynamic balance test was applied with Y balance test and static balance was applied with strok balance test before and after plyometric training.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Plyometric training
Time Frame: 2 days a week for 6 weeks
The individuals included in our study were divided into two groups by a simple randomization method. Plyometric training was applied to the both groups (athletes and karate practitoners).
2 days a week for 6 weeks
Y balance Test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
It is used to dynamically measure balance. This test includes extensions in the anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial directions. .
6 weeks
Stroke Balance Test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The athlete warms up for 10 minutes. The athlete stands comfortably on both feet, his hands are on his hips. The athlete raises the right leg and places the sole of the right foot on the edge of the left kneecap. The tester gives the command "GO", starts the stopwatch, and the athlete raises the heel of the left foot and stands on the toes.
6 weeks
Proprioception assessment (Eyes-closed kinematic angle reproduction test)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Participants in this test were asked to stand on one leg. The goniometer support point is placed lateral to the knee joint, one side parallel to the trochanter major line, and the other side along the lateral malleola line with the knee extended. In order to get results, the goniometer is fixed. The participant is asked to bring the knee from extension to flexion and stop the knee at a target angle of 30 degrees of flexion at a very low speed (about 10 degrees per second). The participant is asked to remain in this position for 4 seconds and then to extend the knee. The participant is asked to close their eyes and flex the knee to a target degree. In this way, the degree of deviation of the participant is recorded.
