Atletlerde Alet Destekli Yumuşak Doku Mobilizasyonu ve Kinezyolojik Bant Uygulamalarının Denge ve Çeviklik Üzerindeki Akut Etkileri: Randomize Kontrollü Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, atletizm sporcularında hamstring kasına uygulanan alet destekli yumuşak doku mobilizasyonu (ADYDM) ve kinezyolojik bant (KB) uygulamalarının denge ve çeviklik üzerine akut etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır. Çalışmaya; 10-30 yaşları arasında, 45 (KBG=15, ADYDMG =15, Kontrol Grubu =15) atletizm sporcusu (kısa mesafe koşu ve uzun mesafe koşu) dahil edilmiştir. Bilgisayar tarafından oluşturulan liste aracılığı ile basit randomizasyon yöntemi kullanılarak katılımcıları üç gruba atanmıştır: bir gruba kinezyolojik bantlama (KBG), bir gruba alet destekli yumuşak doku mobilizasyonu (ADYDMG) ve kontrol grubu (KG). Üç grubun da denge ve çeviklik parametreleri müdahale öncesinde ve sonrasında Yıldız Denge Testi ve Çeviklik T testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. ADYDM ve KB gruplarının çeviklik bulguları grup içi anlamlı iyileşme gösterirken (p<0,05); KG grup içinde anlamlı bir değişim göstermemiştir(p>0,05). Müdahale sonrası karşılaştırmada çevikilik gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Yıldız Denge Testi sağ ve sol alt ektremitelerde üç grupta da grup içi anlamlı farklılık gösterirken (p<0,05) gruplar arası karşılaştırmada anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). ADYDM ve KB uygulamalarının, denge ve çeviklik üzerine olumlu akut etkilerinin olduğu ve birbirlerine üstünlüklerinin olmadığı görülmüştür.

Acute Effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation and Kinesiological Tape Applications on Balance and Agility in Athletes: A Randomised Controlled Study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the acute effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM) and kinesiological tape (KT) applications to hamstring muscle on balance and agility in track and field athletes. The study included 45 (KTG=15, IASTMG=15, Control Group=15) track and field athletes (short distance running and long distance running) aged 10-30 years. Using a simple randomisation method via a computer-generated list, participants were assigned to three groups: kinesiological taping (KTG) to one group, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTMG) to another group and a control group (CG). Balance and agility parameters of all three groups were evaluated before and after the intervention using the Star Excursion Balance Test and Agility T-test. While the agility findings of IASTM and KT groups showed significant difference within the group (p<0.05); CG did not show a significant change within the group (p>0.05). In the post-intervention comparison, agility did not show a significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). While the Star Balance Test showed significant improvements in the right and left in all three groups (p<0.05), there was no significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). It was observed that IASTM and KT applications had positive acute effects on balance and agility and were not superior to each other.
