The Immediate Effect of Stabilization Type Trunk Exercise on Y Balance Test in Male Adolescent Mallakhamb Players: A Randomized Control Trial
Shirodkar Sridhar [2] | Deo Medha [2]
Abstract: Introduction: One of the most overlooked areas is sports-related injury owing to the fact that many athletes simply "play through the pain." They avoid seeing a doctor for fear of missing out on their physical training or a tournament if things go wrong. A critical thing for majority of sports is the ability to maintain truncal stability. True stability is essential for coordination, performance, and injury prevention. Trunk stability refers to the ability to maintain the trunk's posture and motion throughout dynamic loading and movement scenarios.Y Balance test was used in this study for evaluation of dynamic balance. In terms of dynamic balance, it's a demanding test for athletes and other physically active people. Methods: This was an experimental, randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the benefits of adding trunk stability exercises to Mallakhamb players in order to improve their performance and lower their risk of injury. We selected 126 male Mallakhamb players. Random sampling was used. The outcome measures was distance traversed in Y Balance test. Results: The control and intervention groups were comparable at baseline. Significant differences were observed between the 2 groups. Results indicated that the experimental group's Y balance test score improved in the anterior, posterior-medial, and posterior-lateral directions. However the anterior direction of the control group did not alter. Conclusion: The SEBT improved in the posteromedial and posterolateral directions immediately after the SE, but not in the anterior direction.
