Hip Rotation Limitation and Turning Performance in Young Football Players

Abstract

Aim: This study compared the rotation times from the dominant side to the non-dominant side and from the non-dominant side to the dominant side in male football players under 20 years of age with bilateral hip internal and external rotation limitations. Method: A total of 46 male football players aged between 15 and 20 participated in the study. Hip rotation angles were measured using a digital goniometer with high reading accuracy; players with bilateral internal and external rotation angles below 45° were included in the study. Turn durations were evaluated using the SpeedCourt system. Results: According to the analysis results, the return time from the dominant side to the non-dominant side (0.398 ± 0.083) was longer than the return time from the non-dominant side to the dominant side (0.380 ± 0.093), and this difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions and Suggestions: The findings obtained indicate that hip rotation limitation may have an effect on rotation performance, and therefore, rehabilitation programs applied to these individuals should be reviewed

GENÇ FUTBOLCULARDA KALÇA ROTASYON LİMİTASYONU VE DÖNÜŞ PERFORMANSI

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, bilateral kalça internal ve eksternal rotasyon limitasyonu olan 20 yaşın altındaki erkek futbolcularda, dominant taraftan non-dominant tarafa ve non-dominant taraftan dominant tarafa dönüş sürelerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmaya, yaşları 15 ile 20 arasında değişen toplam 46 erkek futbolcu katılmıştır. Kalça rotasyon açıları, yüksek okuma hassasiyetine sahip dijital gonyometre kullanılarak ölçülmüş; bilateral internal ve eksternal rotasyon açıları 45°’nin altında olan futbolcular çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Dönüş süreleri, SpeedCourt sistemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda, dominant taraftan non-dominant tarafa dönüş süresi (0.398 ± 0.083), non-dominant taraftan dominant tarafa dönüş süresinden (0.380 ± 0.093) daha fazladır ve bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Elde edilen bulgular, kalça rotasyon limitasyonunun dönüş performansı üzerinde etkili olabileceğini ve bu nedenle bu bireylerde uygulanan rehabilitasyon programlarının gözden geçirilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.
