This thesis investigates how plantar fascia training can influence the improvement of athletic performance, proposing an in-depth study on the third half and stopping power in basketball. In particular, the take-off and landing moments will be analyzed during the execution of these two movements. Six youth basketball athletes from the Horus basketball Padova club aged between 15 and 18 were involved in this study. The subjects were offered a targeted foot training program lasting four weeks. The acquisitions took place in two sessions, one before the start of the proposed training and one after it took place. The data for the video analysis were analyzed with the markerless method which requires the simultaneous recording of the movement through four different cameras, while the pressure data were detected through pressure insoles. The objective of this study aims to verify whether training of the plantar fascia can lead to an improvement in jumping performance not only through the increase in the ability to express force of the fascia itself, given by the activation of its fibres, but also through the improvement of motor control and movement proprioception.
Questa tesi indaga su come l’allenamento della fascia plantare possa influire sul miglioramento della performance atletica, proponendo un approfondimento sul terzo tempo e sull’arresto di potenza nella pallacanestro. In particolare, verranno analizzati i momenti di stacco e di atterraggio durante l’esecuzione di questi due movimenti. In questo studio sono stati coinvolti sei atleti di basket giovanile della società Horus basket Padova di età compresa tra i 15 e i 18 anni. Ai soggetti è stato proposto un programma mirato di allenamento plantare della durata di quattro settimane. Le acquisizioni si sono svolte in due sessioni una prima dell’inizio dell’allenamento proposto e una dopo il suo svolgimento. I dati per l’analisi video sono stati analizzati con il metodo markerless che richiede la registrazione simultanea del movimento tramite quattro diverse telecamere, mentre i dati sulla pressione sono stati rilevati attraverso delle solette di pressione. L’obiettivo di questo studio si propone di verificare se l’allenamento della fascia plantare possa portare ad un miglioramento delle performance di salto non solo attraverso l’aumento della capacità di esprimere forza della fascia in sé, dato dall’attivazione delle sue fibre, ma anche attraverso il miglioramento del controllo motorio e della propriocezione del movimento.

This thesis investigates how plantar fascia training can influence the improvement of athletic performance, proposing an in-depth study on the third half and stopping power in basketball. In particular, the take-off and landing moments will be analyzed during the execution of these two movements.
