Evaluation of the Contribution of Basketball-specific Target Shooting Exercises to Strength, Position Sense, Stability and Endurance in Young Basketball Players

Overview

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of open kinetic chain proprioception exercises on joint position sense, strength, functional stability and endurance in adolescent basketball players

Adolescent basketball players, aged 13-16, were randomly divided into two groups as exercise group (n = 11) and control group (n = 11). Exercise group performed open kinetic chain functional proprioception exercises twice a week for 6 weeks. Control group did not participate in any exercise program. Before and after the exercise program all athletes were subjected to the proprioception test and isokinetic muscle strength test on the isokinetic dynamometer, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test and modified push-up test.
