Abstract

Aim: Muscle injuries are common sports-related injuries that cause the most training loss. Self-efficacy refers to a person's personal belief that he/she can do the behavior necessary to reach his goal. This study aimed to examine the difference in exercise self-efficacy according to the grade of muscle injury in recreational and professional athletes.
Material and Methods: Ninety-three patients who applied to the sports medicine outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with muscle injury and doing sports were included in the study. Gender, age, weight, height, sports branch and exercise duration per week, injury grade, and Tegner activity level of the patients diagnosed with muscle injury were recorded. The patients were asked to fill in the sports fitness index and athlete self-efficacy scale.
Results: A significant difference was found in the sports fitness index score according to the grade of muscle injury (p=0.002), while there was no significant difference in the Tegner activity level (p=0.228) and athlete self-efficacy scale (p=0.791). A negative correlation was found between age and duration of exercise (r=-0.234, p=0.024), and age and Tegner activity level (r=-0.425, p<0.001). A positive correlation was found between exercise duration and Tegner activity level (r=0.308, p=0.003), and exercise duration and professional thought efficacy (r=0.251, p=0.015). Again, a positive correlation was found between the Tegner activity level and sports discipline efficacy (r=0.225, p=0.030) and professional thought efficacy (r=0.226, p=0.029) dimensions of the athlete self-efficacy scale.
Conclusion: No significant difference in exercise self-efficacy depending on the grade of muscle injury in recreational and professional athletes.

Kas Yaralanmasının Evresine Göre Egzersiz Öz Yeterliliğindeki Farkın Araştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Kas yaralanmaları en fazla antrenman kaybına yol açan ve sporla ilişkili olarak sık görülen yaralanmalardır. Öz yeterlilik, kişinin hedefine ulaşması için gerekli olan davranışı yapabileceğine olan kişisel inancını ifade eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı, rekreasyonel ve profesyonel sporcularda kas yaralanmasının evresine göre egzersiz öz yeterliliğindeki farkı araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya spor hekimliği polikliniğine başvurup kas yaralanması tanısı almış olan ve spor yapan 96 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Kas yaralanması tanısı almış olan hastaların cinsiyet, yaş, kilo, boy, spor branşı ve haftalık egzersiz süresi, yaralanma evresi ve Tegner aktivite düzeyi kaydedilmiştir. Hastalardan spora uygunluk göstergesi ve sporcu öz yeterlilik ölçeğini doldurmaları istenmiştir.
Bulgular: Kas yaralanmasının derecesine göre spora uygunluk göstergesi skorunda anlamlı bir farklılık bulunurken (p=0,002), Tegner aktivite düzeyi (p=0,228) ve sporcu öz yeterlilik ölçeğinde (p=0,791) anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. Yaş ile egzersiz süresi (r=-0,234; p=0,024) ve yaş ile Tegner aktivite düzeyi (r=-0,425; p<0,001) arasında negatif korelasyon bulundu. Egzersiz süresi ile Tegner aktivite düzeyi (r=0,308; p=0,003) ve egzersiz süresi ile mesleki düşünce yeterliliği (r=0,251; p=0,015) arasında pozitif korelasyon bulundu. Tegner aktivite düzeyi ile sporcu öz yeterlik ölçeğinin spor disiplini yeterliliği (r=0,225; p=0,030) ve mesleki düşünce yeterliliği (r=0,226; p=0,029) boyutları arasında da pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Rekreasyonel ve profesyonel sporcularda kas yaralanmasının derecesine bağlı olarak egzersiz öz-yeterliliğinde anlamlı bir fark yoktur.
