Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı cimnastikçilerde dinamik denge, dikey sıçrama yüksekliği ve Q açısı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya, 8-14 yaşları arasında 24 cimnastikçi (ortalama yaş, 11.38 ± 1.83 yıl) katıldı. Katılımcıların Q açısı universal gonyometre ile ölçüldü. Dinamik denge, anterior (A), posteromedial (PM) ve posterolateral (PL) uzanma yönlerini içeren Yıldız Denge Testi’nin (YDT) modifiye versiyonu ile değerlendirildi. Dikey sıçrama yüksekliği squat sıçrama ile ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Hem sağ (p=0.528) hem de sol taraf (p=0.320) Q açısı değerlerinde cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı fark yoktu. Squat sıçrama yüksekliği ile hem sağ (p=0.300) hem de sol taraf (p=0.258) Q açısı arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmadı. Sağ taraf Q açısı değerleri ile YDT'nin hem sağ taraf A (p=0.825), PM (p=0.939) ve PL (p=0.950) hem de sol taraf A (p=0.826), PM (p=0.919), ve PL (p=0.981) uzanma yönleri arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon yoktu. Sol taraf Q açısı değerleri ile YDT'nin hem sağ taraf A (p=0.426), PM (p=0.372) ve PL (p=0.120) hem de sol taraf A (p=0.909), PM (p=0.337) ve PL (p=0.216) uzanma yönleri arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon yoktu.
Sonuç: Cimnastikçilerde Q açısı ile dikey sıçrama yüksekliği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamadı. Ayrıca, Q açısının dinamik denge performansıyla da ilişkisi yoktu.

Relationship Between Q Angle, Dynamic Balance and Vertical Jump Height in Gymnasts

Öz

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dynamic balance, vertical jump height and Q angle.
Method: A total of 24 gymnasts aged 8 to 14 years (mean age, 11.38 ± 1.83 years) participated to study. The Q angle of the participants was measured by a universal goniometer. The dynamic balance was evaluated by the modified version of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) including anterior (A), posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) reach directions. The vertical jump height was measured by squat jump.
Results: There was no significant difference between genders in the Q angle values of both right (p=0.528) and left side (p=0.320). No significant correlation was found between squat jump height and Q angle values of both right (p=0.300) and left side (p=0.258). There was no significant correlation between right side Q angle values and both right side A (p=0.825), PM (p=0.939), PL (p=0.950) and left side A (p=0.826), PM (p=0.919), PL (p=0.981) reach directions of SEBT. There was no significant correlation between left side Q angle values and both right side A (p=0.426), PM (p=0.372), PL (p=0.120) and left side A (p=0.909), PM (p=0.337), PL (p=0.216) reach directions of SEBT.
Conclusion: No significant relationship was found between the Q angle and the vertical jump height in gymnasts. Also, the Q angle was not associated with dynamic balance performance.
