Kinetic effect of the taping on the ankle during a change of direction in basketball players

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the kinetic effect, with (WT) and without (WoT) the use of ankle taping, during a change of direction in basketball players. Twenty-two players were evaluated (11 men, 11 women; age = 21.50 ± 1.74 years, mass = 72.80 ± 13.14 kg, height = 1.71 ± 0.11 m). The functional task of "change of direction in 60°" was registered with a 3D motion analysis system and a force plate. The torques of eversion, plantarflexion, and ankle joint reaction force were evaluated during the braking phase, using an inverse dynamics method. To compare between conditions a t-student or Wilcoxon tests were used. The results revealed that the use of ankle taping yield a decrease in the anterior joint reaction force (WoT = 4.21 ± 1.36 N/kg vs WT = 2.92 ± 1.07 N/kg, p < .0001) and the eversion torque (WoT = 0.56 ± 0.24 Nm/kg vs WT = 0.51 ± 0.20 Nm/kg, p = .02) during a change of direction in 60º. In conclusion, according to the sample of assessed basketball players, the use of this bandage could contribute to the functional stability of the ankle, decreasing the torque of fibularis muscles and the shear anterior-posterior between the shank-foot segments.

Exercise Motivation Levels on Student Activity Unit (UKM Basketball) at Universitas Djuanda

“…Benturan antar pemain juga sangat berkontribusi terhadap timbulnya cedera atlet terutama pada bagian kepala (Jildeh et al, 2020). Cedera pada atlet bola basket dapat di perbaiki dengan beberapa metode, salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan tapping (Valencia, Saka, Ramos, Caparrós-Manosalva, & Guzmán-Venegas, 2020). Atlet yang baik adalah atlet yang selalu memiliki motivasi yang tinggi untuk memenangkan setiap pertandingan yang dimainkan oleh dirinya Bersama timnya (Csataljay, James, Hughes, & Dancs, 2012).…”

Observation of children's age to predict maximum height

“…First, of course, from the nutritional factors needed, protein for cell growth and repair, calcium for bones, followed by balanced nutrition from other sources (Acharya et al, 2020;Dogbe & Revoredo-Giha, 2021;Sinharoy et al, 2021). While the environment, in this case, means exercise to circulate blood and help the metabolism run properly (Valencia et al, 2021). However, it should be noted that height gain can be made if the growth plates in the long bones are still open (Saadat Mostafavi et al, 2021).…”
