Agility was an important component that must be owned by a basketball player. The study aims was to determine influence of ladder drill exercise and shuttle run toward agility level among basketball players in Bosowa International School. The study was experimental research design using two group pre-test and post-test. The independent variables such as ladder drill exercise and shuttle run and dependent variable was agility level. The samples were 30 male students who met the inclusion criteria. The samples were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The samples were divided into two groups by using random sampling techniques. The data was measured using Illinois Agility Test and conducted within 4 weeks. The Mann-Whitney test found there was no influence of ladder drill exercise and shuttle run toward agility level among basketball players, p=0.575<0.05. Meanwhile, Wilcoxon test and paired t-test found there was significant influence of ladder drill exercise and shuttle run toward agility level, p=0.001.
Non-specific neck pain is common cause of neck pain due to poor posture and mechanical disorder included pain following whiplash injury that not includes bone injury and neurological deficit. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of nerve mobilization by slump technique toward changes in the non-specific neck pain patients. The study was used quasi-experimental with time-series experimental design. The samples were 20 patients who met the inclusion criteria were patients seeking treatment at Blora and Cepu hospitals with neck pain and positive pain by slump technique with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The result showed 3 times of slump technique was not significant influence toward non-specific neck pain patients, p=0.025, while there was significant influence of 6 times of slump technique toward non-specific neck pain patients, p=0.000. No patient has improved condition or persistent pain after neural mobilization by slump technique method. These results indicated there was an effect of giving slump technique toward the non-specific neck patients’ pain level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
