Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of non-pathological longitudinal arch height on anaerobic power levels in sedentary individuals. A total of 81 sedentary males and 67 sedentary females aged between 18 and 25 participated in the study. Participants were divided into high arch (HA) and low arch (LA) groups based on the Hernandez-Corvo Longitudinal Arch Index (LAI). Anaerobic power was assessed using the vertical jump (VJ), horizontal jump (HJ), and penta jump (PJ) tests. According to the findings, in females, the HA group showed significantly higher performance in HJ (157.44±18.67 cm, 139.78±24.1 cm) and PJ (781.89±76.9 cm, 698.53±125.6 cm) compared to the LA group (p<0.001). Furthermore, in females, LAI was positively correlated with HJ (r=0.398) and PJ (r=0.400). However, no significant relationship was found between LAI and VJ performance. In males, no significant differences were found between LAI and anaerobic power parameters. In conclusion, a high longitudinal arch appears to positively influence horizontal and sequential jump performance in sedentary females, while this effect was not observed in males. This difference may be attributed to sex-related biomechanical variations. The study highlights the potential influence of foot morphology on anaerobic performance in sedentary individuals and suggests that future research should include kinematic analyses and athletic populations for more comprehensive results.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, sedanter bireylerde patolojik olmayan longitudinal ark yüksekliğinin anaerobik güç düzeyine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya, 18-25 yaş aralığında sedanter 81 erkek ve 67 kadın dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılar Hernandez-Corvo longitudinal ark ındeksine (LAI) göre yüksek ark (YA) ve düşük ark (DA) gruplarına ayrılmıştır. Anaerobik güç ölçümleri için dikey sıçrama (DS), yatay sıçrama (YS) ve penta sıçrama (PS) testleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgulara göre, kadınlarda YA grubunun DA grubuna kıyasla YS (157.44±18.67 cm, 139.78±24.1 cm ve PS 781.89±76.9 cm, 698.53±125.6 cm) performanslarında anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.001). Ayrıca, kadınlarda LAI ile YS (r=0.398) ve PS (r=0.400) arasında pozitif korelasyon saptanmıştır. Ancak, DS performansı ile LAI arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Erkeklerde ise LAI ile anaerobik güç parametreleri arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, sedanter kadınlarda yüksek ark yapısı, yatay ve ardışık sıçrama performansını olumlu yönde etkilerken, erkeklerde bu etki görülmemiştir. Bu durum, cinsiyete bağlı biyomekanik farklılıklardan kaynaklanıyor olabilir. Çalışma, sedanter bireylerde ayak morfolojisinin anaerobik performans üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymuştur. Gelecek araştırmalarda kinematik analizler ve sporcu popülasyonlarıyla desteklenmiş çalışmalar önerilmektedir.
