The Relationship Between Upper Extremity Explosive Power and Trunk Muscles in Volleyball Players
Turkey (Türkiye)30 participantsStarted 2023-10-26
Plain-language summary
Volleyball is an interval sport involving consecutive aerobic and anaerobic loads. Strength training based on explosive movements can improve performance in the upper extremities. Strength performance has an important place in this sport. Trunk stabilization is defined as 'proximal stability for distal mobility'. Disorder in any segment of the kinetic chain model will affect the quality of movement in the lower and upper segments.The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the morphological features of the transversus abdominis, lumbal multifidus (L4-5), internal external oblique muscles, and the anaerobic power of the upper extremity and shoulder girdle functionThis study was designed as a cross-sectional. They will consist of 30 volleyball players between 14-30 years of age. Muscle morphological features of the participants by ultrasound; explosive strength will be evaluated by Medicine Ball Throw test, functional evaluation will be evaluated by Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Endurance test.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
