Effect Of Six-Week Hop Stabilization Exercise Program On Balance And Lower Limb Power In Amateur Volleyball Players: Randomized Controlled Trial
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Volleyball is one of the popular sports across the globe. The major actions carried out in volleyball sports are serving, forearm passing, setting the ball, jumping which are mainly influenced by the athlete’s ability to control their dynamic balance. Hopping exercises are one of the many skilled controlled stability exercises effective in improving ability to control balance. Hence this study aimed to find the effect of Hop stabilization exercise program (HSEP) on balance and lower limb power in amateur volleyball players.
Objective: To find the effect of (HSEP) on balance and lower limb power in amateur volleyball players.
Methodology: After designing the study Institutional Ethical Approval was taken. Consent was obtained from all the participants. 58 samples were screened based on eligibility criteria, 6 were excluded and 52 were further divided into Group A (experimental group) and Group B (control group). Pre-assessment was done at Week 0. The experimental group received the HSEP and regular exercise program for 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks, receiving total 18 sessions. The control group received regular exercise program. Post-assessment was done at week 6. Result: The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess the normality of data distribution. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for comparison of mean at different time intervals. One participant from the experimental group and one from the control group did not complete the study. After 06 weeks the mean between-group difference for the balance was -0.96 and vertical jump height was -0.12 at (95% CI).
Conclusion: The study concludes that 4 weeks of HSEP is effective in improving balance and lower limb power in volleyball players.
Trial Registration: Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI) registration no is CTRI/2023/04/051766
