Nerve Conduction Studies in Amateur Football, Volleyball and Tennis Athletes

Turkey (Türkiye)64 participantsStarted 2024-05-15

Plain-language summary

The aim of the study was to determine how nerve conduction velocities in the upper and lower extremities of athletes in football, volleyball and tennis branches change. The study was completed with a total of 64 participants in 4 groups, with equal numbers of participants in the groups: football, volleyball and tennis players, and a control group that does not do sports. Nerve conduction studies (ulnar sensory, median motor, tibial motor and sural sensory nerves) with an EMG (electromyography) device were applied to participants in 4 groups.
