Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the injury risk and balance performance of elite windsurfers. 28 elite windsurfers with an average age of 14.90±1.89 (years), average height 162.70±33.25 (cm), average body weight 55.78±8.97 (kg), and average body mass participated in our study. Leg length, Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), Y Balance Test and Functional Movement Adequacy Test (FMS) were applied to the athletes. The mean of FMS of the participants was found to be 16.21±1.77. Also, it was determined that the difference in asymmetry was over 4 centimeters in more than 40% of the participants in the Anterior-Posteromedial-Posterolateral directions according to the Y balance reach distance. In addition, when the FMS and BESS data were compared according to the Y balance reach distance asymmetry differences, no difference was observed between the genders (p>0.05). However, in the variable of Y balance reach distances, which is an evaluation of dynamic balance, a significant difference was found between male and female athletes in the right foot Posterolateral, right foot Composite, left foot Anterior and left foot Composite scores (p< 0.05). As a result, it can be said that the dynamic balance performances of female athletes are better than male athletes. And also the athletes with a large asymmetry difference are at risk of injury. Additional strength, balance and flexibility exercises may be recommended for windsurfers to reduce the risk of injury.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı elit rüzgâr sörfçülerinin sakatlık riski ve denge performanslarının incelenmesidir. Çalışmamıza yaş ortalaması 14,90±1,89 (yıl) boy ortalaması 162,70±33,25 (cm), beden ağırlık ortalaması 55,78±8,97 (kg), beden kütle indeksi ortalaması 19,63±1,76 (kg/m2) olan ve elit düzeyde rüzgâr sörfü yapan 28 sporcu katılmıştır. Sporculara bacak uzunluğu, Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), Y Balance Testi ve Fonksiyonel hareket yeterlilik testi (FMS) uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların FMS ortalamaları 16,21±1,77 olarak tespit edildi. Ayrıca katılımcıların %40’tan fazlasında Anterior-Posteromedial-Posterolateral yönlerinde Y balance reach distance asimetri farklarının 4 santimetrenin üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanında Y balance reach distance asimetri farklarına göre FMS ve BESS verileri karşılaştırıldığında cinsiyetler arasında bir fark görülmedi (p>0,05). Ancak dinamik denge değerlendirmesi olan Y balance reach distances değişkeninde sağ ayak Posterolateral, sağ ayak Composite, sol ayak Anterior ve sol ayak Composite skorlarında erkek ile kadın sporcular arasında anlamlı fark olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak kadın sporcuların dinamik denge performanslarının erkek sporculardan daha iyi olduğu ve asimetri farkı fazla olan sporcuların sakatlık riski taşımakta olduğunu söylenebilir. Sakatlık riskinin azaltılması açısından rüzgâr sörfçülerine ekstra olarak kuvvet, denge ve esneklik egzersizlerinin yapılması önerilebilir.
