Combined Land- and Water-Based Core and Lower Extremity Strength Training in Improving the Jump Performance Among Volleyball and Basketball Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Combined Land- and Water-Based Exercise, Land-Based Exercise, and 1 other intervention for Athletes. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Given conflicting studies regarding the effect of land-based and water-based training on the jump performance of volleyball and basketball players, a randomized controlled trial is conducted. This study hypothesizes that combined land- and water-based core and lower strength training significantly increase jump performance of volleyball and basketball players in comparison to either land- and/or water-based training alone.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Strengthening exercises targeting the core and lower extremities (quadriceps, hamstring, and gastrocnemius) were implemented both on land and in water. The exercises are done for approximately one hour/day, three days/week for two consecutive weeks. The following are the included exercises: Land-based exercise: 1. Plank exercise 2. Russian twist 3. Push-up 4. Goblet squat 5. Kettle bell swing Water-based exercise: 1. Flutter kicks 2. Isometric core crunches 3. Jump lunges 4. Kicks 5. Resisted knee flexion
