The effect of aquatic exercise on Functional Movement Assessments and Elements of Sensorimotor Function in Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability

The effect of a aquatic exercise course on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, lower limb motor performance screening, ankle self-report scores, sensorimotor performance elements, functional tests in athletes with chronic ankle instability.

40 male athletes (20 in each group) participated in this study. They were selected purposefully based on the entry and exit criteria and were randomly divided into two groups (control group and experimental group).

The experimental group does aquatic exercise for 8 weeks, the place of exercises (protocol) is in the pool They did three sessions a week for (1/5) an hour and a half with specific methods of warming up, the main exercise, the number of sets, rests and the number of movements. The control group did not do any intervention and continued their exercises.

Admission: history of sprained ankles in the last two years, feeling of empty ankles twice in the last six months, obtaining the specified score in all four questionnaires, having the age range (18-30) years, voluntary consent of the subjects to participate in the research. Failure to enter: not having a history of ankle sprains in the last two years, not having the feeling of emptying the ankle twice in the last six months, not obtaining the specified score in all four questionnaires, not having the age range (18-30) years.

People in two groups (experimental group did daily exercises and a specialized and specified water sports intervention for 8 weeks, which is designed to be effective for athletes with chronic ankle instability), (interventional control group) did not do and followed up their daily exercises) were divided.

Functional Movement, Sensorimotor Function

Participants will randomly assign to either the aquatic exercise group or the control group using a computer-generated random sequence with a 1:1 allocation ratio. This randomization sequence will be generated by an independent statistician not involved in participant recruitment or data collection. Allocation concealment was achieved using sequentially numbered, opaque envelopes. These envelopes contained pre-printed group assignments and were opened only after obtaining informed consent and completing baseline assessments for each participant.

This study will employ a single-blind randomized controlled trial design. Participants will be aware of their group assignment (aquatic exercise group or control group) throughout the study duration. However, all data collection procedures will be standardized to minimize potential bias from assessors. Data analysts will be blinded to group assignment until after all data collection complete and the primary analyses conduct. A single, un-blinded researcher not involve in data collection or participant interaction will maintain the randomization sequence and ensured proper allocation concealment.
