The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of PNF applications on vertical jump performance and postural control in male basketball players. The hypotheses of this study are: H1: PNF applications affect vertical jump performance in male basketball players. H2: PNF applications have an effect on postural control in male basketball players. H3: There is no difference between the PNF group and the control group in terms of the effect of PNF applications on vertical jump performance and postural control in male basketball players. Participants will be included in a 6-week program based on the group they are assigned to in the randomization. Those in the exercise group will perform lower extremity PNF patterns 3 days a week for a total of approximately 20-30 minutes. No intervention will be performed on the control group. Participants' vertical jump performance and postural control will be assessed twice: before and after the intervention.
