What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a battle rope training program on enhancing athletic performance in young adaptive bocce players aged 10 to 18 years. Eighteen participants with physical disabilities will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving structured battle rope training or a control group continuing regular bocce training over an 8-week period. The intervention focuses on improving upper body strength, endurance, and coordination, with assessments conducted before and after the program to measure bocce throwing accuracy, grip strength, and shoulder endurance. Data analysis will utilize SPSS to determine the impact of the training on performance metrics.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are young adaptive bocce players aged 10 to 18 years with physical disabilities who can follow instructions.
Not a fit: Patients with recent injuries or surgeries affecting upper body function may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance athletic performance and physical fitness in young adaptive bocce players.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific application of battle rope training in adaptive sports is novel, similar strength training interventions have shown positive outcomes in enhancing athletic performance in other sports.
