Title: | The Effect of Ice on Shoulder Proprioception in Badminton Athletes | Authors: | Marouvo, Joel Tavares, Nuno Dias, Gonçalo Castro, Maria António |
Keywords: | cryotherapy; joint position sense; force sense; proprioception | Issue Date: | 21-Mar-2023 | Publisher: | MDPI | Serial title, monograph or event: | European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education | Volume: | 13 | Issue: | 3 | Abstract: | This study aims to analyze the influence of the application of cryotherapy on shoulder proprioception in badminton athletes. Thirty federated badminton athletes were included in this study, all of whom belonged to three of the teams currently competing in national competitions (Portugal). Their mean ages were 21.00 ± 5.60 years, and their experience in the modality was 8.40 ± 6.93 years. They practiced in an average of 2.93 ± 1.26 training sessions per week. All of them used their right hand to hold the racket. Each participant's dominant shoulder joint position and force senses were evaluated for four consecutive time points through the isokinetic dynamometer Biodex System 3. The experimental procedure consisted of applying ice for 15 min and the control procedure consisted of no therapeutic intervention. The proprioception outcomes were expressed using the absolute error, relative error, and variable error. All statistical analysis was performed using PASW Statistics 18 software (IBM-SPSS Statistics). There were no statistically significant changes in the joint position and force senses after the intervention, as well as during the subsequent 30 min. We conclude that, after this cryotherapy technique, there is no increased risk of injury associated with a proprioception deficit that prevents athletes from immediately returning to badminton practice. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113922 | ISSN: | 2254-9625 | DOI: | 10.3390/ejihpe13030051 | Rights: | openAccess |
