THE EFFECT OF ANAEROBIC FATIGUE ON PROPRIOCEPTION IN ADOLESCENT FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

Purpose: Muscle fatigue is known to alter the proprioceptive system, the central proprioception process, and power generation capacity. This study aims to determine the effect of anaerobic fatigue on lower-extremity proprioception in adolescent female basketball players. Methods: The study included licensed female basketball players (n=30) between the ages of 12 and 16. Their dominant lower extremities were evaluated for knee joint position-sense measurements. Active and passive knee joint position senses were measured with an isokinetic dynamometer at 30° and 60° degrees prior to, immediately after anaerobic fatigue, and finally after 10 minutes of the recovery period. The Wingate Anaerobic Strength Test was used to induce anaerobic fatigue. We documented the knee joint position sense of each participant. Results: Following a 30-second anaerobic fatigue, a significant reduction in the sense of active joint perception at 30° and 60° knee flexion was observed compared to baseline values (p> 0.017). The knee joint's proprioception at 30° and 60° flexion returned to baseline levels after a 10-minute recovery from fatigue. The passive joint perception did not show any statistical changes. Conclusion: Anaerobic fatigue reduces knee proprioception in adolescent female basketball players. Moreover, proprioceptive sensitivity can return to baseline levels with a recovery time of as little as 10 minutes.

ANAEROBİK YORGUNLUĞUN ADÖLESAN KIZ BASKETBOL OYUNCULARINDA PROPRİOSEPSİYON ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ

Öz

Amaç: Kas yorgunluğunun proprioseptif sistemi, merkezi propriosepsiyon sürecini ve güç üretim kapasitesini değiştirdiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma, adölesan kız basketbol oyuncularında anaerobik yorgunluğun alt ekstremite propriosepsiyonu üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 12-16 yaşları arasında lisanslı kız basketbol oyuncuları dahil edildi (n=30). Dominant alt ekstremiteleri, diz eklemi pozisyon hissi ölçümleri için değerlendirildi. Aktif ve pasif diz eklemi pozisyon duyusu, izokinetik dinamometre ile istirahatte (test öncesi), anaerobik yorgunluktan hemen sonra ve 10 dakikalık dinlenme döneminden hemen sonra 30° ve 60° derecelerde ölçüldü. Anaerobik yorgunluk oluşturmak için Wingate Anaerobik Güç Testi kullanıldı. Her katılımcı için test öncesi diz eklemi pozisyon algıları kaydedildi. Sonuçlar: 30 saniyelik anaerobik yorgunluktan sonra, istirahat değerlerine kıyasla 30° ve 60° diz fleksiyonunda aktif eklem pozisyonu algısında önemli bir azalma gözlendi (p>0,017). Yorgunluktan sonra 10 dakikalık bir iyileşmenin ardından, 30° ve 60° diz fleksiyonunda aktif eklem pozisyonu algısı istirahat seviyelerine döndü. Pasif eklem algısında istatistiksel bir değişim gözlenmemiştir. Tartışma: Anaerobik yorgunluğun adölesan kız basketbol oyuncularında diz proprioception'ını azalttığı belirlendi. Ayrıca, proprioseptif duyarlılığın 10 dakikalık kadar kısa bir iyileşme süresi ile bazal seviyelere döndüğü gözlemlenmiştir.
