Genç Erkek Futbolcularda İzokinetik Diz Kuvveti İle Ultrasonografik Kas Kalınlığı Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, izokinetik kas kuvveti ile kas kalınlığı arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmaya Türkiye profesyonel futbol 1. ligi takımlarından U17 ve U19 yaş gruplarında oynayan 54 genç erkek sporcu (ortalama yaş: 18.296 ± 1.312 yıl, ortalama boy 177.592 ± 5.063 cm; ortalama vücut ağırlığı 67.037 ± 6.564 kg) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Kas kalınlığı (rektus femoris, vastus intermedius, gluteus maksimus) Gerçek zamanlı ultrason (RTUS) görüntüleme kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Kas kuvveti (30°/s-1, 60°/s-1, 180°/s-1) Humac Norm/Cybex dinamometri kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. İstatistiksel olarak izokinetik kas kuvveti ve kas kalınlığı arasında GMAX (mm) - 30°/s-1 Glut Con Torku (N.m-1), RF (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torku (N.m-1), VI ( mm) - 180°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), RF+VI (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1) değerleri anlamlıydı. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma kuadriseps kalınlık ölçümleri ile kas kuvveti arasında anlamlı ve yüksek korelasyonlar göstermiştir.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Isokinetic Knee Strength and Ultrasonographic Muscle Thickness in Young Male Soccer Players

Abstract

The aim of this study is assessment of correlation between isokinetic muscle strength and muscle thickness. 54 young male athletes (mean age: 18,296 ± 1,312 years, mean height 177,592 ± 5,063 cm; mean body weight 67,037 ± 6,564 kg) playing in the U17 and U19 age groups of a Turkish professional football 1st league team voluntarily participated in the study. Muscle thickness (rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, gluteus maximus) was measured using Real-time ultrasound (RTUS) imaging. Muscle strength (30°/s-1, 60°/s-1, 180°/s-1) was measured using Humac Norm/Cybex dynamometry. Statistically between isokinetic muscle strength and muscle thickness GMAX (mm) - 30°/s-1 Glut Con Torque (N.m-1), RF (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), VI (mm) - 180°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), RF+VI (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1) values were significantly. In conclusion, this study showed significant and high correlations of quadriceps thickness measurements with muscle strength.
