Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the thesis is to offer evidence-based holistic guidelines for physiotherapists, coaches, physical activity educators, or adolescent athletes themselves, taking into consideration psychomotor, socio-affective, and cognitive aims for a public lacking physiotherapeutical counselling on a greatly neglected body part in musculoskeletal prevention, the foot/ankle complex.
Theoretical knowledge for this work has been acquired through high quality literature such as books and research, prioritizing systematic literature reviews. A greatly practiced sport worldwide such as basketball allows up-to-date and high-quality findings, yet with the challenges of an underaged tar-get group, that have been overcome by a great variety of studies in different perspectives and spectrums, associated with a fine biomechanical and relevant physiological analysis.
Furthermore, decisions have been taken to expand the guidelines to a holistic scope to increase the rate of actual application of these measures, help more athletes, and develop knowledge related to prevention beyond the common scope of training. Components such as exercise, nutrition, equipment, safety, objective measurements, and compliance have been outlined.
The findings highlighted the significance of promoting education for the athletes and the physical activity facilitator for a more personalized, effective, and durable prevention, regardless of the current recommendations.
