An observational study in Sports Physical Therapy, sponsored by Bezmialem Vakif University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to male participants aged 10 Years to 24 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-20.
Sponsored by Bezmialem Vakif University · Observational
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition, aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength in young male basketball players.
The study will take place at a local basketball academy. Young male athletes between the ages of 10-24 and enrolled in a basketball academy will be included in the study. Participants who have been involved in basketball for less than a year, and those who have injuries that prevent participation in the study will be excluded.
Individual development differences in young people can have an impact on physical fitness components such as aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength required for basketball. At the same time, differences in these components can have effects on each other.
There is a complex relationship between anthropometric changes during growth and physical fitness because many differences can occur during the physiological development of players. In this context, differences in growth rate and development in young basketball players are complex factors that affect game performance and player success. Characteristics such as body height, body weight, skeletal muscle ratio and body fat are among the basic anthropometric components of a basketball player, and these components are considered to be important indicators of a player's game performance.
Bezmialem Vakif University is the lead sponsor of 345 studies on the registry; 58 are open to participants now.

Young male basketball players enrolled in a local basketball academy
Exclusion Criteria:
Male athletes between the ages of 10-24 who are involved in a local basketball academy and have been involved in basketball for more than a year
Other: OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor
The OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor is a digital scale and participants' body compositions will be evaluated with this device. The aerobic capacities of the participants will be evaluated with the Multi-Stage 20 m Shuttle Run Test and the maximum oxygen consumption levels will be calculated with the help of the formula with the data obtained from this test. The trunk extensor muscle endurance of the participants will be evaluated with the Biering-Sorensen Test and the trunk flexor endurance will be evaluated with the Kraus-Weber Test. Participants' M. Quadriceps, M. Hamstring, M. Biceps Brachii and M. Triceps Brachii muscle strengths will be evaluated with MicroFET® 2 hand dynamometer.
Also known as: Multi-Stage 20 m Shuttle Run Test, Biering-Sorensen Test and Kraus-Weber Test, MicroFET® 2 hand dynamometer

The body lengths of the participants will be evaluated with a tape measure and recorded in meters (m).
Time frame: One Month
Body Mass Index
The body mass index of the participants will be calculated and recorded with the formula kg/m\^2.
Time frame: One Month
Body Fat
Participants' body fat will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in percent (%).
Time frame: One Month
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Participants' skeletal muscle mass will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in percent (%).
Time frame: One Month
Visceral Fat
Participants' visceral fat will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in levels.
Time frame: One Month
Resting Metabolic Rate
Participants' visceral fat will be evaluated with the OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor and recorded in kilocalories (kcal).
