Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between hip adductor muscle strength and endurance, core stabilization, and lower extremity performance.
Methodsː One hundred thirty-three healthy individuals were included in the study. Bilateral hip adductor muscle strength was evaluated with a compression test by using a sphygmomanometer, and endurance was evaluated by the number of hip adduction repetitions for each extremity performed in the side-lying position in one minute. Core stabilization was evaluated by the endurance of the trunk muscles (the time of maintaining the flexion of the trunk 60 degrees, the lateral bridge position, and the trunk extension against gravity). Lower extremity dynamic balance (Y balance test) and performance (single-leg and triple-crossover hop test) were also evaluated.
Resultsː A positive and moderate correlation was found between hip adductor muscle strength and endurance of nondominant (r=0.529, p<0.001) and dominant (r=0.355, p<0.001) trunk lateral flexors on the lower extremity side, dominant single-leg hop test (r=0.314, p<0.001), and dominant (r=0.362, p<0.001) and nondominant (r=0.331, p<0.001) triple-crossover hop test. A negative and low level of correlation was found between hip adductor muscle strength and dominant (r=-0.235, p=0.007) and nondominant (r=-0.244, p=0.005) Y balance test total scores, and dominant (r=-0.167, p=0.055) and nondominant (r=-0.186, p=0.032) Y balance test posteromedial scores.
Conclusionː Hip adductor muscle strength and endurance were significantly correlated with core stabilization, lower extremity dynamic balance and performance, and hip adductor muscle strength, balance, and performance test scores were affected by gender.

SAĞLIKLI BİREYLERDE KALÇA ADDUKTÖR KAS KUVVETİNİN, KOR STABİLİZASYONU VE ALT EKSTREMİTE PERFORMANSI İLE İLİŞKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kalça adduktör kas kuvveti ve enduransı ile kor stabilizasyonu ve alt ekstremite performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktı.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya 133 sağlıklı birey dahil edildi. Bilateral kalça adduktör kas kuvveti sfigmomanometre kullanılarak sıkıştırma testi ile, endurans ise her bir ekstremite için yan yatış pozisyonunda bir dakika içinde yapılan kalça adduksiyon tekrar sayısı ile değerlendirildi. Kor stabilizasyon, gövde kaslarının enduransı (gövdenin 60 derece fleksiyonunu, lateral köprü pozisyonunu ve yerçekimine karşı gövde ekstansiyonunu sürdürme süresi) ile değerlendirildi. Alt ekstremite dinamik dengesi (Y denge testi) ve performans (tek ayak ve üç adım çapraz sıçrama testi) değerlendirildi.
Sonuçlar: Kalça adduktör kas kuvveti ile nondominat (r=0,529, p<0,001) ve dominant (r=0,355, p<0,001) alt eksremite tarafındaki gövde lateral fleksörleri enduransları, dominant tek ayak sıçrama testi (r=0,314, p<0,001), dominant (r=0,362, p<0,001) ve nondominant (r=0.331, p<0,001) üç adım çapraz sıçrama testi skorları arasında pozitif yön ve orta düzeyde ilişki bulundu. Kalça adduktör kas kuvveti ile dominant (r=-0.235, p=0.007) ve nondominant (r=-0.244, p=0.005) Y denge testi toplam skorları ve dominant (r=-0.167, p=0.055) ve nondominant (r=-0.186, p=0.032) Y denge testi posteromedial skorları ile negatif yön ve düşük düzeyde ilişki bulundu.
Tartışma: Kalça adduktör kas kuvveti ve enduransı ile core stabilizasyon, alt ekstremite dinamik denge ve performansı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur ve kalça adduktör kas kuvveti, denge ve performans test skorları cinsiyetten etkilenmektedir.
