Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of PNF applications on vertical jump performance and postural control in male basketball players.

The hypotheses of this study are:

H1: PNF applications affect vertical jump performance in male basketball players.

H2: PNF applications have an effect on postural control in male basketball players.

H3: There is no difference between the PNF group and the control group in terms of the effect of PNF applications on vertical jump performance and postural control in male basketball players.

Participants will be included in a 6-week program based on the group they are assigned to in the randomization. Those in the exercise group will perform lower extremity PNF patterns 3 days a week for a total of approximately 20-30 minutes. No intervention will be performed on the control group. Participants' vertical jump performance and postural control will be assessed twice: before and after the intervention.

Conditions

  • Physical Performance and Postural Stability in Healthy Male Basketball Players

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

During training, rhythmic initiation and combined isotonic PNF techniques will be applied. Rhythmic initiation will be performed through passive, active-assisted, and resistive phases to facilitate motor learning and coordination, with each phase repeated three times (one set). Combined isotonic exercises aim to enhance muscle activation and neuromuscular control by sequentially applying concentric, isometric, and eccentric contractions within a single continuous movement. Moderate manual resistance will be provided by the therapist at the beginning, middle, and end of the range of motion. Combined isotonic exercises will be performed bilaterally for 6-10 repetitions and 3-4 sets, with 60 seconds of rest between sets, in accordance with participant tolerance.
