Futbolcularda Uygulanan Kuru Kupa Uygulamasının Bazı Performans Parametrelerine Akut Etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, futbolculara hamstring kasına uygulanan kuru kupa uygulamasının esneklik, sıçrama, kuvvet ve eklem hareket açıklığına akut etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışmaya Yukatel Denizlispor kulübünün altyapı takımlarından U-19 futbol takımındaki yaşları ortalaması 18,80 ± 0,41 yıl olan 25 erkek sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Futbolcularda ilk önce hamstring esnekliği, normal eklem hareket açıklığı, sıçrama ve kas kuvvet testleri bilateral olarak değerlendirildi. Tüm sporcular ilk değelendirilmelerinden sonra hamstring kasına bilateral olarak kasın insersio ve origo hattı boyunca 10 dakikalık kuru kupa uygulandı. Daha sonra tüm ilk değerlendirmeler tekrar edilip veriler kaydedildi.

Bulgular: Kuru kupa uygulamasının hamstring kasının esneklik parametresinde ve bilateral olarak değerlendirilen diz fleksiyon ve kalça ekstansiyon normal eklem hareketi açıklığında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Kuru kupa uygulamasının sıçrama ve bilateral olarak değerlendirilen diz fleksiyon ve kalça ekstansiyon kuvvet parametrelerinde ise istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı bulunmuştur (p>0,05).

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak kuru kupa uygulaması, daha az masrafla non-invaziv bir yöntem olması ve daha kolay uygulanabilen bir tamamlayıcı tıp uygulaması olarak futbolcularda esneklik ve eklem hareket açıklığı parametrelerini arttırmada kullanışlı bir yöntemdir.

Acute Effects on Some Performance Parameters of The Dry Cupping Therapy by Soccer Players

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the acute effect of dry cupping therapy applied to the hamstring muscle in footballers on flexibility, jumping, strength and range of motion.

Materials and Methods: 25 male athletes with an average age of 18.80 ± 0.41 in the U-19 football team, one of the infrastructure teams of Yukatel Denizlispor club, voluntarily participated in this study. Soccer players first evaluated flexibility, range of motion, jumping and strength tests bilaterally. All athletes were administered a 10-minute dry cupping along the muscle bilaterally to the hamstring muscle after their initial change. Then all initial assessments were repeated and data recorded.

Results: Dry cupping therapy was found to have a statistically significant effect on the flexibility parameter of the hamstring muscle and bilateral evaluated knee flexion and hip extension range of motion (p>0.05). Dry cupping therapy was found to have no statistically significant effect on the strength parameters of knee flexion and hip extension, which were evaluated bilaterally and jumping parameters (p>0.05).

Conclusion: We concluded that, dry cupping therapy is a useful method as a non-invasive, easy-to-apply and economical complementary medicine application to increase flexibility and range of motion parameters in football players.
