Abstract

Objective: To measure femoral cartilage (FC) thickness and to evaluate the association between FC thickness and isokinetic muscle strength and rectus femoris (RF) muscle thickness in adolescent female basketball players. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 female adolescent basketball athletes with a mean age of 12.3 years (SD: 0.9) were included. Isokinetic measurements were performed on quadriceps and hamstring muscles bilaterally using a dynamometer. Bilateral RF and FC thicknesses were evaluated by ultrasonography. For FC thickness, three mid-point measurements were taken bilaterally from each knee as follows: lateral condyle, intercondylar area, and medial condyle. Mean FC thickness for each knee was calculated by values pertaining to the medial and lateral condyles, and the intercondylar area. Results: Right and left mean FC thickness values were 0.23 (SD: 0.03) cm and 0.22 (SD: 0.03) cm. While there was a significant positive correlation between right and left FC thicknesses (r = 0.79, p < 0.001), no correlations were observed between FC and RF thicknesses or between the FC thickness and isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strength. Conclusion: The mean FC thickness does not seem to correlate either with the RF thickness or with the thigh muscle strength in adolescent female basketball players.

Özet

Amaç: Adolesan kadın basketbolcularda femoral kıkırdak (FC) kalınlığını ölçmek ve FC kalınlığı ile izokinetik kas kuvveti ve rektus femoris (RF) kas kalınlığı arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 12,3 yıl (SS: 0.9) olan toplam 31 kadın adolesan basketbol sporcusu dahil edildi. Kuadriseps ve hamstring kaslarında iki taraflı olacak şekilde dinamometre ile izokinetik ölçümler yapıldı. Bilateral RF ve FC kalınlıkları ultrason ile değerlendirildi. FC kalınlığı için her dizden iki taraflı olarak alınan üç orta-nokta ölçümleri şu şekildeydi: lateral kondil, interkondiler alan ve medial kondil. Her diz için ortalama FC kalınlığı, medial ve lateral kondillere ve interkondiler alana ait değerlerle hesaplandı. Bulgular: Sağ ve sol ortalama FC kalınlık değerleri 0.23 (SS: 0.03) cm ve 0.22 (SS: 0.03) cm idi. Sağ ve sol FC kalınlıkları arasında anlamlı pozitif bir korelasyon varken (r = 0.79, p < 0.001), FC ve RF kalınlıkları arasında veya FC kalınlığı ile izokinetik kuadriseps ve hamstring kuvveti arasında herhangi bir korelasyon gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Adolesan kadın basketbol oyuncularında, ortalama FC kalınlığı RF kalınlığı ya da uyluk kas kuvveti ile ilişkili görünmemektedir.
