ELBOW BUT NOT KNEE JOINT KINEMATICS CAN BE ASSESED USING PHOTOGRAMMETRIC METHODS DURING A NONSTATIONARY SLAP SHOT IN ICE HOCKEY

Abstract

In this study, elbow and knee joint kinematics of the non stationary ice hockey slap shot was investigated using photogrammetric methods. 4 right handed elite Turkish ice hockey players from various teams participated in the study in order to scientifically obtain a general description of elbow and knee joint kinematics during a non-stationary slap shot. The loading, contact and follow through phases were analyzed using a dual camera and Pictran software system. The results showed an elbow angle pattern consistent with previous studies however a general knee angle strategy could not be obtained

BUZ HOKEYİ SPORUNDA SLAP-SHOT VURUŞUNUN FOTOGRAMETRİK YÖNTEMLER KULLANILARAK BİYOMEKANİK ANALİZİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, buz hokeyinde kullanılan dinamik bir slap-shot vuruşu, fotogrametrik metodlar kullanılarak, dirsek ve diz eklemlerinin kinematiği incelenmiştir. Diz ve dirsek kinematiği tanımının elde edilebilmesi için, istatiksel olarak farklı takımlardan, 4 sağ sopa Türk buz hokeyi oyuncusu bu çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Yükleme, temas ve takip evreleri 2 adet DragonFly ExpressTM dijital video kamera ile çekilmiştir. Değerlendirme fotogrametrik bir yazılım olan Pictran 2.9 yazılımı ile yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, dirsek açısı için önceki çalışmalarla tutarlılık gösterirken, diz eklem açısı için genel bir strateji elde edilememiştir.
