Neuromuscular Effects of Acute Fatigue in Adolescent Basketball

Effects of Acute Fatigue on Neuromuscular Control and Performance Parameters in Professional Adolescent Basketball Players: A Sex-Based Subgroup Analysis

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Biruni University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 13 Years – 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of acute fatigue on neuromuscular control and performance parameters in professional adolescent basketball players and to determine the relationship between fatigue level and neuromuscular control variables. As a secondary aim, the study seeks to examine whether these effects differ according to sex. The research hypotheses are as follows. The null hypothesis (H1-0) states that acute fatigue has no significant effect on neuromuscular control parameters in adolescent basketball players, including balance performance, landing mechanics, ground contact time, and asymmetry ratios. The alternative hypothesis (H1-1) proposes that acute fatigue has a significant effect on these neuromuscular control parameters. The second null hypothesis (H2-0) states that the effects of acute fatigue on neuromuscular control parameters do not differ according to sex. The alternative hypothesis (H2-1) suggests that the effects of acute fatigue on neuromuscular control parameters differ according to sex.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	basketball practice	The athletes' training session will consist of a 30-minute general and sport-specific warm-up period followed by a 90-minute basketball-specific ball training session. These training sessions will be conducted in accordance with the club's standard training program and will include technical and tactical drills, game-based exercises, movements involving changes of direction, jump-landing activities, and short-duration sprint efforts.
