Preseason Y Balance Test Scores are not Associated with Noncontact Time-Loss Lower Quadrant Injury in Male Collegiate Basketball Players.

摘要: The Y-Balance Test-Lower Quarter has shown promise as a screening tool for identifying athletes at risk of injury. Subsequent studies, utilizing heterogeneous populations or different operational definitions injury, have presented equivocal findings. Therefore, studies evaluating the efficacy Test to discriminate injury in homogeneous population is warranted. One-hundred sixty-nine male (mean age 19.9 ± 1.5 y) collegiate basketball players were recruited during 2 consecutive seasons (2016⁻2017/2017⁻2018). Athletes completed testing protocol start each preseason. Athletic trainers tracked noncontact time-loss lower quadrant injuries over course season. Receiver operator characteristic curves failed identify cutoff scores; therefore, previously reported scores utilized when calculating relative risk. There was no association between preseason and back extremity players. This study adds growing body evidence that demonstrates relationship subsequent
