An observational study in Landing Biomechanics and Fatigue, sponsored by University Ghent. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-26.
Sponsored by University Ghent · Observational
In this prospective study, male jump-landing athletes (volleyball and basketball) will be screened pre-season and followed for one consecutive season. Pre-season screening consists of 3D biomechanical analysis of standardized (such as drop vertical jump) and sports-specific jumps (such as stop-jump) before and after a high-intensity, intermittent exercise protocol and clinical field tests (such as force measurements).
1,860 studies on the registry are indexed under Fatigue; 376 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 150 is above the median of 100 across 367 observational studies indexed under Fatigue.
