Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between balanceskill and concentric and eccentric isokinetic knee muscle strength in elite gymnasts.Materials and Methods: A total of 30 (17 males, 13 females) elite gymnasts wereincluded in the study. Y-balance test, isokinetic concentric and eccentric musclestrength measurements were applied to the subjects on different days. Pearsoncorrelation analysis was used to determine the relationship between isokinetic musclestrength and balance ability. The relationship between isokinetic muscle strength andtotal balance scores of each extremity was evaluated by simple linear regressionanalysis.Results: Statistically significant, weak and moderate correlations were found betweenisokinetic muscle strength and balance ability (r=0.36-0.66). As a result of simple linearregression analysis, significant relationships were found between concentric andeccentric isokinetic muscle strength of right and left knees, and total balance score(adjusted R2 =0.16-0.41).Conclusion: Weak and moderate relationships between balance skill and isokineticknee muscle strength was determined in elite gymnasts. It is concluded that knee jointmuscle strength is related to balance ability. However, the level of relationship mightvary according to the type of strength and balance exercises.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı elit jimnastik sporcularında denge becerisi ile diz çevresi konsantrik ve eksantrik izokinetik kas kuvveti arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 30 (17 erkek, 13 kadın) elit jimnastik sporcusu alındı. Katılımcılara farklı günlerde Y Denge Testi, izokinetik konsantrik kas kuvveti ölçümü ve izokinetik eksantrik kas kuvveti ölçümü yapıldı. İzokinetik kas kuvveti ile denge becerisi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Her bir bacağın izokinetik kas kuvveti ile toplam denge skorları arasındaki ilişki basit doğrusal regresyon analizi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: İzokinetik kas kuvveti ve denge becerisi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı zayıf ve orta düzeyde korelasyonlar saptandı (r=0.36-0.66). Basit doğrusal regresyon analizi sonucunda sağ ve sol diz konsantrik ve eksantrik izokinetik kas kuvveti ile toplam denge skoru arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu (düzeltilmiş R2 =0.16-0.41). Sonuç: Elit jimnastik sporcularında denge becerisi ile diz çevresi izokinetik kas kuvveti arasında zayıf ve orta düzeyde ilişki saptandı. Çalışma sonucunda diz eklemi kas kuvvetinin denge becerisi ile ilişkili olduğu, ancak ilişki düzeyinin kuvvet ve denge egzersizinin türüne göre değişiklik gösterebileceği sonucuna varıldı.
