Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a core training intervention on jump-landing biomechanics in female amateur basketball players. Additionally, it will assess the impact of this intervention on jumping performance. The primary questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does a core training intervention reduce jump-landing biomechanics errors, as measured by the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)?
2. Will the LESS items related to core and trunk stability improve following the core training program?
3. Will the core training program enhance jumping performance in female amateur basketball players?
4. Is there a relationship between poor LESS scoring and poor jumping performance? Researchers will compare the effects of a core training intervention applied during the warm-up in basketball training with the standard warm-up routine typically used at this basketball level.

Participants will be asked to:

* Attend the scheduled assessments at three points during the study: before the intervention begins, at the end of the 8-week intervention period, and after a 3-month follow-up period.
* Teams in the intervention group will incorporate the core training exercises during their warm-up, twice a week, over the 8-week period.
* Teams in the control group will continue their standard warm-up routine without any modifications.
* All participating teams will document the training sessions completed by the players to monitor adherence to the program.

Core training program in female amateur basketball players

The intervention consists of a core training program specifically designed to improve core and trunk stability in female amateur basketball players. The program is integrated into the warm-up routine and is applied twice a week over an 8-week period. Each session lasts approximately 12-15 minutes and includes five exercises. The training program is divided into three phases of progression, gradually increasing the difficulty of the exercises over the 8 weeks by incorporating more dynamic and functional movements.
