Sağlıklı Bireylerde Farklı Diz Açılarında Yapılan Köprü Egzersizlerinin Kas Kuvveti ve Endurans Üzerine Etkisinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlıklı bireylerde farklı diz açılarında yapılan köprü egzersizinin kasların kuvveti ve dayanıklılığı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 18-27 yaş aralığında, düzenli egzersiz yapmayan 42 sağlıklı birey dahil edildi. Katılımcıların M. Gluteus Maximus, M. Quadriceps Femoris ve M. Gastrocnemius, sırt ekstansörleri, üst abdominal ve alt abdominal kasların kuvvetleri değerlendirildi. Gövde kaslarının enduransını değerlendirmek için katılımcılara Prone Plank Endurans Testi ve Dinamik Abdominal Endurans Testi uygulandı. Alt ekstremite kaslarının enduransını değerlendirmek için Squat Endurans Testi kullanıldı. Tüm ölçümler müdahaleden önce ve sonra olmak üzere iki kez yapıldı. Katılımcılara, değerlendirmeye kör bir araştırmacı tarafından farklı diz açılarında (45⁰, 60⁰ ve 90⁰) altı hafta boyunca haftada üç günlmak üzere köprü egzersiz programı uygulandı. Bulgular: Sonuçlarımız, farklı diz açılarında yapılan köprü egzersizlerinin kasın kuvvetini ve enduransını artırdığını göstermektedir (p<0,05). Ancak, gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Sonuçlara göre, köprü egzersizi kuvvet ve endurans kazanmak için her diz açısında yapılabilir ve köprü egzersizinde kişiye göre en rahat diz açısı pozisyonu fizyoterapistler tarafından tercih edilebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Egzersiz, kas kuvveti, fiziksel endurans, gövde.

Investigation of the Effect of Bridge Exercises Performed at Different Knee Angles on Muscle Strength and Endurance in Healthy Persons: Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of bridge exercises performed at various knee angles on muscle strength and endurance in healthy individuals. Material and Methods: Forty-two healthy individuals between the ages of 18-27 and who do not exercise regularly were included in the study. The strengths of the M. Gluteus Maximus, M. Quadriceps Femoris, and M. Gastrocnemius, back extensors, upper abdominal and lower abdominal were evaluated. Prone Plank Endurance Test and Dynamic Abdominal Endurance Test were applied to the participants to evaluate the endurance of the trunk muscles. Squat Endurance Test was used to evaluate the endurance of the lower extremity muscles. All measurements were taken twice, before and after the intervention. The participants underwent the bridge exercise program at different knee angles (45⁰, 60⁰, and 90⁰), three days a week day for six weeks by a researcher blinded to the evaluation. Results: Our results suggest that bridge exercises performed at different knee angles increase the strength and endurance of the muscle (p<0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, bridge exercise can be performed at any knee angle to gain strength and, the most comfortable knee angle position can be preferred by physiotherapists according to the person being exercised. Keywords: Exercise, muscle strength, physical endurance, trunk.
