The Gender-Specific Effect of Different Instruction Training

Summary

Feedback is incorporated into training programs to prevent injuries. The superiority of several feedback techniques is still debated and there is a need for gender specific studies. The main aim of the study was to investigate the gender-specific effectiveness of two different feedback techniques (combined verbal training with internal and external focus feedback and video training with instructional feedback) on the landing technique after vertical jump, frontal plane projection angle, and joint position sense in male and female volleyball players with asymptomatic knee valgus. In addition, the continuity of potential positive results in a retention test performed one week after the test session will be evaluated.

Video Instructed Training Group

"Pre-test" measurements were taken to determine the baseline values of the athletes before the training packages specific to their group. The pre-test measurements included a landing error scoring system, knee position error sense, and frontal plane projection angle. After the pre-test measurements, 2 training packages with special instructions were performed for the video instructed training (VIT) group. The special instruction for the VIT group included a previously prepared video of a successful vertical jump landing task. This video was shown to the VIT group. Immediately after the training packages, post-test measurements were taken. The post-test measurements included the same tests as the pre-test measurements. A follow-up test was taken 7 days after the measurements. The follow-up test included the same measurements as in the pre-test and post-test phases.

OTHER

Verbal Combined Focus Instructed Training Group

"Pre-test" measurements were taken to determine the baseline values of the athletes before the training packages specific to their group. The pre-test measurements included landing error scoring system, knee position error sense, and frontal plane projection angle. After the pretest measurements, 2 training packages with specific instructions were performed for the CSE group. The special instruction given to the CSE group consisted of the following sentence, which included the both internal and external focus of attention; "focus on how hard you push yourself off the ground and how fast you straighten your knees during this push-off". Immediately after the training packages, post-test measurements were taken. The post-test measurements included the same tests as the pre-test measurements. A follow-up test was taken 7 days after the measurements. The follow-up test included the same measurements as in the pre-test and post-test phases.
