Functional Effects of Tendon Neuroplastic Training in Wrestlers
Functional Effects of Tendon Neuroplastic Training in Wrestlers With Shoulder Tendinopathy: a Randomized Controlled Trial
ABSTRACT AIM: The term tendinopathy describes multifaceted pathologies occurring in the tendon, characterized by pain, functional impairment, and decreased exercise tolerance. The aim of this study is to use Tendon Neuroplastic Training (TNT) in Wrestlers with shoulder tendinopathy between the ages of 14-25; To investigate its effects on balance, coordination, mental performance and shoulder functionality.
METHOD: After determining the sample size of the study with the G Power (Software 3.1.9.2) program, 26 athletes were randomly divided into two groups; the study group received a 4-week TNT training protocol, while the control group received 4 weeks of standard eccentric training. Both groups were given exercises for the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Subscapularis and Biceps muscles. The athletes' balance with "Upper Quarter Y Balance", coordination with "Alternate Hand Wall Toss", and mental performance with Stroop Color-Word tests were evaluated. "Kerlan-Jobe" and "Western Ontario Rotator Cuff" scales were used to evaluate shoulder functionality and pain. All assessments were administered before and after exercise training. The data were analyzed statistically with the "IBM SPSS 25" package program.

实验性的：Tendon Neuroplastic Training Group
The Group that Perceived Tendon Neuroplastic Training
|
Tendon Neuroplastic Training can be adapted to isometric and isotonic exercises with a digital metronome program.
Tendon Neuroplastic Training has been reported to improve functionality and strength, reduce pain and cortical inhibition in athletes by generating 'adaptation' in central nervous system.
Resistance training planned with visual or auditory stimuli (externally paced), can induce changes on motor control.
the exercises paced to an external audio/visual cue on the participant's smartphone

Cognitive function
大体时间："Baseline" and "week 4"
|
Cognitive function was assessed with the Stroop Test TBAG (Temel Bilimler Araştırma Grubu) Form.
The Stroop Test also referred to as the Color- Word Task, was used to assess executive abilities, selective attention, and the ability to inhibit a habitual response.
In sports psychology research, the Stroop test and its derivations are commonly used to investigate the benefits of exercise on cognitive function.
Stroop Test TBAG Form consists of five cards.
For each section, the time taken by participants during the application was measured using a 0.01-second precision smartphone chronometer.
The completion time of reading the card, the number of errors and the number of corrections (if any) for each section were recorded on an evaluation form for each participant.
There are no minimum or maximum score values for this test.
A lower score means a better result.
