Abstract

This study examines a case of college students who participated in volunteer conditioning and care activities for high school basketball players. The subjects comprised 43 players who participated in a high school basketball tournament and received conditioning and care. The survey items were subjects’ attributes, areas of discomfort, degree of pain and fatigue before and after conditioning care, and level of satisfaction with these activities. The results revealed that athletes mainly complained about discomfort in the posterior lower leg, lumbar region, anterior thigh, and posterior thigh, in that order. In addition, the degree of fatigue and pain experienced in problem areas was significantly lower after conditioning and care. The satisfaction of athletes who used conditioning and care was also higher. The results suggest that high school basketball players were delighted with the student-led conditioning and care volunteer program, and the program may help reduce fatigue and pain in problem areas.
