AI Summary & Key Takeaways

AI Insight
⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Results: It was found that the right upper, middle, lower and left upper and lower trapezius muscle strength and weightlifting performance values were higher in the elite group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively).

Abstract

Abstract Aim; In this study, it was majorly aimed to investigate trapezius muscle strength, and also to determine the relationship between trapezius muscle strength and weightlifting performance, and anthropometric characters in female weightlifters. Materials and Methods: In the study conducted on 42 Elite and Sub-Elite female weightlifters, trapezius muscle strengths were measured with a manual hand dynamometer. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS program. p < 0.05 was accepted significantly. Results: It was found that the right upper, middle, lower and left upper and lower trapezius muscle strength and weightlifting performance values were higher in the elite group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively). Moreover, a high level of correlation was found between left middle trapezius muscle strength and body mass index (BMI) and weightlifting performance in both groups (r=0.57, p < 0.01; r=0.59, p < 0.01; r=0.56, p < 0.01, r=0.70, p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: It can be said that there is a close relationship between trapezius muscle strength, which is higher in elite female weightlifters than in sub-elite weightlifters, and BMI and weightlifting performance.

Özet

Özet Amaç; Bu çalışmada, öncelikle kadın halter sporcularında trapezius kas kuvvetinin araştırılması, ayrıca trapezius kas kuvveti ile halter performansı ve antropometrik karakterler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 42 Elite ve Sub-Elite kadın halter sporcusu üzerinde gerçekleştirilen çalışmada trapezius kas kuvvetleri manuel el dinamometresi ile ölçüldü. İstatistiksel analiz SPSS programı ile yapıldı. p < 0,05 anlamlı olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Sağ üst, orta, alt ve sol üst ve alt trapezius kas kuvveti ile halter performansı değerlerinin elit grupta daha yüksek olduğu bulundu (sırasıyla, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01). Ayrıca, her iki grupta sol orta trapezius kas kuvveti ile vücut kütle indeksi (VKİ) ve halter performansı arasında yüksek düzeyde korelasyon bulundu (r=0.57, p < 0.01; r=0.59, p < 0.01; r=0.56, p < 0.01, r=0.70, p < 0.01, sırasıyla). Sonuç: Elit kadın halter sporcularında sub-elitlerden daha yüksek bulunan trapezius kas kuvveti ile VKİ ve halter performansı arasında yakın ilişkili olduğu söylenebilir.
