Abstract

Amaç: Elit sporcuların dinamik denge yeteneği, işlevsellik düzeyi ve antropometrik yapısı, spor aktiviteleri sırasındaki performanslarıyla yakından ilişkilidir. Bu sebeple, bu çalışma, farklı kayak disiplinleri olan Alp ve Kuzey disiplini kayak sporcularının dinamik denge, fonksiyonel performans ve antropometrik özelliklerini değerlendirmek ve bu parametreler arasındaki ilişkileri araştırmak üzere tasarlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Çalışma lisanslı Kuzey disiplini kayak sporcuları (n=29) ve Alp disiplini kayak sporcuları (n=33) üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Dinamik denge Y Denge Testi ile, fonksiyonellik ise Tek Bacak Sıçrama Testi ile değerlendirildi. Oturma yüksekliği ve alt ekstremiteye ilişkin antropometrik ölçümler alınarak kaydedildi.
Sonuçlar: Kuzey disiplini kayak sporcularında Y Denge Testi sonucu daha yüksek bulundu (p=0.007). Tek Bacak Sıçrama Testi sonuçları her iki kayak disiplini grubunda benzerdi (p=0.534). Kuzey disiplini kayak sporcularının alt ekstremite uzunluğu (p=0.044), uyluk uzunluğu (p=0.005) ve bacak uzunluğu (p=0.005) Alp disiplini kayak sporcularına göre daha uzundu. Her iki grupta da Y Denge Testi ile Tek Bacak Sıçrama Testi arasında pozitif, orta düzeyde korelasyon bulundu (Alp disiplini r=0.583; p<0.001; Kuzey disiplini r=0.457; p=0.013). Sadece Alp disiplini kayak sporcularında oturma yüksekliği ile dinamik denge arasında (r=0.432; p=0.012) ve bacak uzunluğu ile Tek Bacak Sıçrama Testi arasında (r=0.442; p=0.010) pozitif orta düzeyde korelasyon bulundu.
Tartışma: Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma Alp disiplini ve Kuzey disiplini kayak sporcularının dinamik denge, fonksiyonel performans ve antropometrik özelliklerine ilişkin belirli farklılıkları ortaya koymuş, kayak disiplinlerine yönelik antrenman programlarının düzenlenmesinde ve kayak sporcularında yaralanmaların önlenmesinde yol gösterici sonuçlar sunmuştur.

Evaluation of Dynamic Balance, Functionality and Anthropometric Characteristics in Alpine and Nordic Skiers

Abstract

Purpose: The dynamic balance ability, functionality level, and anthropometric structure of elite athletes are closely related to their performance during sports activities. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the dynamic balance, functional performance, and anthropometric characteristics of Alpine and Nordic skiers, which are different ski disciplines, and to investigate the relationships between these parameters.
Methods: The study was carried out on licensed Nordic skiers (n=29) and Alpine skiers (n=33). Dynamic balance was evaluated with the Y Balance Test, and functionality was evaluated with the Single Leg Hop for Distance Test. Sitting height and anthropometric measurements of the lower extremities were taken and recorded.
Results: The Y Balance Test result for Nordic skiers were higher (p=0.007). The results of the Single Leg Hop for Distance Test were similar in both groups (p=0.534). Lower limb length (p=0.044), thigh length (p=0.005), and leg length (p=0.005) were longer in Nordic skiers. A positive moderate correlation was found between the Y Balance Test and Single Leg Hop for Distance Test in both groups (Alpine skiing r=0.583; p <0.001; Nordic skiing r=0.457; p=0.013). A positive moderate correlation was found between sitting height and dynamic balance (r=0.432; p=0.012) and between leg length and the Single Leg Hop for Distance Test (r=0.442; p=0.010) only in Alpine skiers.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this study revealed certain differences regarding the dynamic balance, functional performance, and anthropometric characteristics of Alpine and Nordic skiers and presented guiding results in organizing of training programs for ski disciplines and in the prevention of injuries in ski athletes.
