Abstract

Aim: Poor oral hygenia status affects nutrition and sleep in children and it is reported to have a negative influence on growth and development. Therefore, similarly it may negatively affect young athletes’ performance in sports activities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between oral hygenia and athletic performance in child athletes from the Sports Academy of Kırıkkale University. Material and Methods: Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index (DMFT) scores were recorded for each subject and sports performance tests were performed. Results: The agility (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) and short sprint (10m, 20m, 30m best) tests conducted in this research showed that athletes whose DMFT values were over 3 were more successful than athletes whose DMFT values were equal or more than 3 (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results from Bosco test revealed that athletes whose DMFT values less than 3 were significantly more successful (P < 0.01). Also a correlation between DMFT values and results of the performance tests were found. Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of informing young athletes regarding oral health.

Özet

Amaç: Kötü ağız hijyeninin çocuklarda beslenme ve uykuyu etkilediği ve büyüme-gelişim üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu durum çocuk sporcuların sportif aktiviteler sırasındaki başarısını da olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Çalışmamızın amacı Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Spor Akademisindeki çocuk hastaların atletik performansları ile ağız sağlığı arasındaki bir ilişki olup olmadığının değerlendirlmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya katılan tüm çocuklara ait “Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index” (DMFT) skorları kaydedilmiş ve spor performans testleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Uygulanan çeviklik (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) ve “short sprint” (10m, 20m, 30m best) testleri, DMFT değerleri 3’ten düşük olan sporcuların, DMFT değerleri 3 ve daha yüksek olan sporculara göre istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Bosco testi sonuçlarına göre de DMFT değeri 3’ten daha az olan sporcuların istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Ayrıca, DMFT skorları ve performans testi sonuçları arasında korelasyon varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar: Bu sonuçlar çocuk sporcuların ağız sağlığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelerinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
