Investigation of The Relationship Between Strength and Endurance of The Trunk Muscle With Functional Parameters in Young Individuals

Abstract

Objectives: Low strength and endurance of the muscles in the core region cause excessive physiological stress on the passive structures of the spine, which can cause pain and decrease functional performance throughout the other structures of the body. The hypothesis of this study was to investigate the relationship between strength and endurance of core muscles and functional parameters in young individuals. Materials and Methods: 123 healthy young individuals with mean age of 21.04±1.691 years were included in the study to investigate the relationship between muscle strength and endurance of the trunk region and functional parameters. in this study, demographic information, core muscles strength and endurance evaluations, functional parameters evaluating performance were recorded. Core muscles endurance evaluations included lateral bridge, Sorenson, trunk flexor endurance tests; core muscles strength assessment modified push-up, sit-up tests; the evaluation of lower extremity functionality vertical jump, bilateral squat, step down, forward jump tests on one leg. Results: As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that the modified push-up test, which is one of the core force tests, was positively significantly associated with the performance tests (r = 0.188-0.50p <0.05), while the sit-up test from the core force tests did not correlate with the performance tests (p>0.05). As a result of statistical analysis, it was found that core endurance tests were positively correlate with vertical jump test, squat test and step down test(p<0.05). Conclusion: A result of our study, a weakly significant relationship was found between the strength, endurance of the core muscles and functional parameters viewing performance. We think that strength and endurance exercises of core muscles should be taken into consideration increasing functional parameters.

Genç Bireylerde Kor Kasları Kuvvetinin ve Enduransının Fonksiyonel Parametrelerle İlişkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Kor bölgesindeki kasların kuvvetinin ve enduransının düşük olması, omurganın pasif yapıları üzerinde aşırı bir fizyolojik strese neden olmaktadır. Bu durum vücudun diğer yapıları boyunca ağrı oluşturabilmekte ve fonksiyonel performansı azaltabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın hipotezi genç bireylerde kor kasları kuvvetinin ve enduransının fonksiyonel parametrelerle ilişkisinin incelenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Gövde kas kuvveti ve enduransının fonksiyonel parametrelerle ilişkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 21,04±1,691 yıl olan 123 sağlıklı genç birey dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada bireylerin demografik bilgileri kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca kor kaslarının kuvvet değerlendirmesi modifiye push-up testi, sit-up testlerini; endurans değerlendirmesi lateral köprü testi, Sorenson testi ve gövde fleksörleri endurans testlerini içermektedir. Fonksiyonel parametreleri ise dikey sıçrama testi, bilateral çömelme (squat) testi, basamak inme testi ve tek bacak üzerinde öne zıplama testi ile değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: İstatiksel analiz sonucunda kor kuvvet testlerinden modifiye push-up testinin fonksiyonel performans testleri ile pozitif yönde anlamlı olarak ilişkili olduğu görülürken (r=0,188-0,50, p<0,05), kor kuvvet testlerinden sit-up testi ile fonksiyonel performans testlerinin korelasyon içerisinde olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (p>0,05). Kor endurans testleri ile fonksiyonel performans testlerinden dikey sıçrama testi, bilateral çömelme (squat) testi, basamak inme testlerinin pozitif yönde anlamlı olarak ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür (r=0,166-0,385, p<0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda kor kaslarının kuvvet ve enduransı ile performansı inceleyen fonksiyonel parametreler arasında zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Fonksiyonel parametrelerin artırılmasında kor kaslarının kuvvet ve enduransına yönelik egzersizlerin göz önüne alınması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
