Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the bone mineral density (BMD) of children&nbsp; playing volleyball with non-exercising mates by using Quantitative Ultrasonagraphy (QUS). A total&nbsp; of 37 prepubertal girls participated in this study. Subjects were divided into two groups: Volleyball&nbsp; (ages=13.2±0.8 years, n=17) and control (ages=12.62±0.91 years, n=20 ). Children in volleyball&nbsp; groups has been training regularly for 10-12 hours a week for 3-4 years. Children in control group has&nbsp; not been participating in regular exercise training. Dominant and non-dominant leg BUA (Broadband&nbsp; Ultrasonographic Assesessment) values were taken from calcaneus by QUS-2 (Metra Biosystems). Three&nbsp; days milk and dairy products records were obtained from each subject. Food records were analysed by&nbsp; BEBIS food analysing programme and daily calcium intake of the subjects were calculated. Student t-test&nbsp; statistical method was used to compare two groups. Volleyball players’ BUA (dom= 75.9 ± 7.1, nondom=&nbsp; 76.26 ± 7.2) and t-score values were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of non-exercising&nbsp; group (BUA: dom=68.18 ± 8.5, non-dom = 67.12 ± 8.4). In conclusion, volleyball training, which has&nbsp; been regarded as weight bearing and high impact sport, has benefical effeects on bone mineral density in&nbsp; prepubertal girls.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı; düzenli antrenman yapan voleybolcu çocukların ve düzenli antrenman&nbsp; yapmayan çocukların kemik yapılarını karşılaştırmaktır. Bu amaçla; 3-4 yıldır, haftada 10-12 saat&nbsp; düzenli voleybol antrenmanı yapan (yaş=13.2±0.8 yıl, n=17) ve düzenli olarak herhangi bir spor ile&nbsp; uğraşmayan (yaş=12.62±0.91 yıl, n=20), menarş görmemiş toplam 37 kız çocuk, voleybol ve kontrol&nbsp; grubu olmak üzere atanmıştır. Katılımcıların kemik yapıları Metra Biosystems QUS-2 marka Topuk&nbsp; Ultrasonometresi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların üç günlük diyetle süt ve süt ürünleri tüketimi&nbsp; alınmış, BEBİS programı ile analiz edilerek günlük kalsiyum alımı belirlenmiştir. Kemik yapısı ölçümleri,&nbsp; dominant (dom) ve dominant olmayan (non dom) topuklardan alınmıştır. Voleybol ve kontrol gruplarının&nbsp; BUA (Broadband Ultrasonografik Assesment) ve t-skor değerleri bağımsız gruplarda t testi yöntemiyle&nbsp; karşılaştırılmıştır. Voleybolcuların BUA (dom=75.9±7.1, non dom=76.26±7.2) ve t- skor değerleri,&nbsp; spor yapmayan (dom=68.18±8.5, non dom=67.12±8.4) grubun değerlerinden anlamlı derecede yüksek&nbsp; bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak, vücut ağırlığının taşınması ile uygulanan ve yüksek etkili bir&nbsp; spor dalı olarak nitelendirilen voleybol sporu, menarş görmemiş 11-13 yaş arası kız çocuklarının kemik&nbsp; yapılarını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir.
