Detailed Description

This study aims to investigate the effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) on balance, jump performance and sports injury anxiety in American football players. Participants were divided into two groups, Body Awareness Therapy Treatment Group (n=22) and a Control group(n=22), by computer-based randomization. Before starting the study, all participants were given detailed information about the content of the study and filled out a voluntary consent form. All participants in both groups were evaluated under the same conditions and surveys were conducted. The intervention group was given BBAT exercises by a physiotherapist who had received BBTA training 2 days a week for 6 weeks. All participants continued their team training during this period. At the end of the 6 weeks, all participants were given the same conditions and the surveys were repeated.
