Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı yüzücülerde ayak boyu ile ayak bileği plantar ve dorsifleksör kaslarının izokinetik kas kuvveti arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 18 kadın 35 erkek olmak üzere toplam 53 müsabık yüzücü dahil edildi. Sporcuların ayak boyu kaliper ile, ayak bileği plantar ve dorsifleksör kas kuvveti izokinetik dinamometre ile değerlendirildi. Sporcuların ayak uzunluğu ile ayak bileği izokinetik kas kuvveti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak alındı. Sporcuların ayak boyu ile ayak bileği plantar ve dorsifleksör kaslarının 60°/sn açısal hızdaki izokinetik kas kuvveti arasında orta derecede ilişki olduğu (r=450/347; p<0,05); ayak bileği plantar fleksör kaslarının 180°/sn açısal hızdaki izokinetik kuvveti arasında orta derecede ilişki olduğu (r=403; p<0,05); ayak bileği dorsi fleksör kaslarının 180°/sn açısal hızdaki izokinetik kas kuvveti arasında ilişki olmadığı belirlendi (r:0,145; p>0,05). Çalışmamız sonucunda yüzücülerde ayak uzunluğu arttıkça ayak bileği plantar ve dorsi fleksör kasların kuvvetinin arttığı belirlendi. Bu sonuca dayanarak yüzücülerde ayak uzunluğunun ayak bileği kas kuvvetini etkileyebileceği fikri ortaya çıkmıştır, ancak bu ilişkinin yüzme performansına etkisini araştıracak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Examining the Relationship Between Foot Length and Ankle Muscle Strength in Swimmers

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between foot length and isokinetic muscle strength of the ankle plantar and dorsiflexor muscles in swimmers. A total of 53 competitive swimmers, 18 women and 35 men, were included in the study. The athletes’ foot length was assessed by calipers, and their ankle plantar and dorsiflexor muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between athletes' foot length and ankle isokinetic muscle strength. There was a moderate relationship between the foot length of the athletes and the isokinetic muscle strength of the ankle plantar and dorsiflexor muscles at an angular velocity of 60 ° / sec (r = 450/347; p <0.05); there was a moderate correlation between the isokinetic strength of the ankle plantar flexor muscles at 180 ° / sec angular velocity (r = 403; p <0.05); It was determined that there was no relationship between the isokinetic muscle strength of the ankle dorsi flexor muscles at an angular velocity of 180 ° / sec (r: 0.145; p> 0.05). As a result of our study, it was determined that the strength of the ankle plantar and dorsi flexor muscles increased as the foot length increased in swimmers. Based on this result, the idea that foot length can affect ankle muscle strength in swimmers has emerged. However, some studies are needed to examine the effect of this relationship on swimming performance.
