Effects of Percussion Therapy on the Biomechanics of Pickleball Movement

Sponsor: Point Loma Nazarene University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

With increased demand on pickleball as a recreational exercise, it is of interest in investigating the biomechanical characteristics of pickleball and determining the impacts of percussion therapy on them. This study aims to examine the effects of percussion therapy on the biomechanics of pickleball movement and muscle activation patterns in recreational pickleball players. It is hypothesized that kinematics and kinetics of pickleball performance improves after 4 weeks of percussion therapy.
