The effect of special exercises using elastic ropes and aquatic medium in rehabilitating forearm muscle atrophy in advanced handball players.

Abstract

The research problem crystallizes in the presence of moderate-severity forearm muscle atrophy after injury. The researchers reviewed previous studies and interviewed sports experts. After consulting with the supervisor, it became clear through the experts' diagnosis that players are exposed to muscle atrophy, especially the forearm muscles, due to several internal and external factors. The research aimed to prepare special exercises using rubber ropes to rehabilitate forearm muscle atrophy for advanced handball players and to identify the effect of these special exercises using rubber ropes and an aquatic medium in rehabilitating forearm muscle atrophy for advanced handball players. The most important conclusions reached by the researcher are that the use of rubber ropes and an aquatic medium in rehabilitating forearm muscle atrophy for advanced handball players is an effective option. The exercises contributed to increasing muscle strength and range of motion, which indicates that they enhance the performance of handball players
