Дослідження зв’язку між співвідношенням 2d:4d, силою хвату руки та довжиною м’язів підколінного сухожилля в різних видах спорту: дослідження волейболу, футболу та баскетболу

Background and Study Aim. The relationship between the 2nd digit (2D) and the 4th digit (4D) provides much preliminary information about the physiological, psychological, and psychomotor characteristics of individuals. Although there are many studies on the 2D:4D ratio, the number of studies investigating the ratio in different sports is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the 2D:4D ratio, posterior thigh muscle length, and handgrip strength in different sports. Material and Methods. 63 athletes aged 18-29 years from football, volleyball and basketball participated in this study (nFutbol=20, nVoleybol=21, nBasketbol=22). Right and left hand width and length, 2D, 4D, 2D:4D ratio, grip strength, and hamstring muscle length of the participants were determined. When examining the relationship between the parameters, hand grip strength and hamstring muscle length, Pearson correlation analysis was performed. Results. In the study, there was a high correlation between right and left hand width, length, 2D, and 4D measurements and handgrip strength of volleyball and basketball players (p<.05). There was also a high correlation between left 2D:4D ratio in basketball players and handgrip strength (p<.05). There was a moderate correlation between football players’ 2D length of the football players and the length of the hamstring muscle (p<.05). In volleyball and basketball branches, no parameter was associated with hamstring muscle length in volleyball and basketball players. Sport age and right hand 2D:4D ratio were associated in football (p<.05). For volleyball, athletic age was associated with left hand width and length and 2D and 4D measures (p<.05). In basketball, athletic age was associated with left hand width and length. Conclusions. The results of the study suggest that some of the right and left hand measurements can be used to predict performance indicators such as hand grip and hamstring muscle length in the sports of football, volleyball, and basketball.Передумови та мета дослідження. Співвідношення між 2-м пальцем (2D) і 4-м пальцем (4D) дає багато попередньої інформації про фізіологічні, психологічні та психомоторні характеристики індивідів. Хоча існує багато досліджень щодо співвідношення 2D:4D, кількість досліджень, які вивчають співвідношення в різних видах спорту, обмежена. Тому метою цього дослідження є визначення співвідношення між співвідношенням 2D:4D, довжиною заднього м’яза стегна тахвату руки в різних видах спорту.Матеріал і методи. У цьому дослідженні взяли участь 63 спортсмени віком 18-29 років з футболу, волейболу та баскетболу (nФутбол=20, nВолейбол=21, nБаскетбол=22). Були визначені ширина та довжина правої та лівої руки, співвідношення 2D, 4D, 2D:4D, сила хвата та довжина підколінного сухожилля учасників. При дослідженні зв’язку між параметрами, силою хвату руки та довжиною м’язів підколінного сухожилля проводили кореляційний аналіз Пірсона.Результати. У дослідженні була виявлена висока кореляція між шириною, довжиною, 2D та 4D вимірюваннями правої та лівої руки та силою рук волейболістів та баскетболістів (p<0,05). Також була висока кореляція між співвідношенням 2D:4D зліва у баскетболістів і силою хвату руки (p<0,05). Була помірна кореляція між двовимірною довжиною футболістів і довжиною підколінного сухожилля (p<0,05). У волейболі та баскетболі жоден параметр не був пов’язаний з довжиною підколінного м’яза у волейболістів та баскетболістів. Спортивний вік і співвідношення правої руки 2D:4D були пов’язані з футболом (p<0,05). Для волейболу спортивний вік був пов’язаний із шириною та довжиною лівої руки та 2D та 4D показниками (p<0,05). У баскетболі спортивний вік асоціювався з шириною та довжиною лівої руки.Висновки. Результати дослідження свідчать про те, що деякі вимірювання правої та лівої руки можна використовувати для прогнозування показників ефективності, таких як зчеплення рук і довжина м’язів підколінного сухожилля у таких видах спорту, як футбол, волейбол і баскетбол

The Effects of Kinesio Taping on Reaction Time, Pain, Hand Grip Strength and Upper Extremity Functional State in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping (KT) in addition to conventional physiotherapy methods, on visualreaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART), pain, handgrip strength (HGS), and upper extremity function in patients withlateral epicondylitis (LE).Materials and Methods: 70 patients diagnosed with LE by a physician in a university hospital were included in the study. Patientswith LE were randomly divided into “Inhibitory KT” (IKT) and “Sham KT” (SKT) groups. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measureswere made at rest (VAS-R), with movement (VAS-M), and at night (VAS-N) separately. Hubbard Scientific reaction timer for VRTART assessment, quick disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire (Quick DASH) for the functional state, and Jamar handdynamometer measurements for HGS were recorded for pre-treatment and post-treatment comparisons.Results: In pre-treatment and post-treatment group comparison, it was found that both groups showed statistically significant recoveryin all parameters (p<0.05). When post-treatment data of the groups were compared, it was found that VAS-M, VAS-R, VRT, and ARTscores showed a statistically significant decrease in the IKT group (p<0.05).Conclusion: The present study shows that KT application in addition to conventional physiotherapy was an effective method in LE’sconservative treatment. Statistically significant differences were found on pain, reaction time (RT) scores in favor of the IKT groupwhen the post-treatment results of both groups were comparedAmaç. Bu çalışmanın amacı lateral epikondilitli (LE) hastalarda konvansiyonel fizyoterapi yöntemlerine ek olarak uygulanan kinezyo bantlama uygulamasının (KB) görsel reaksiyon zamanı (GRZ) ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı (İRT), ağrı, el kavrama kuvveti (EKK) ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonu üzerine olan etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Araçlar ve Yöntem: Bir üniversite hastanesinde fiziatrist tarafından LE tanısı konulan 70 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. LE’li hastalar randomize olarak “inhibisyon KT” (İKB) ve “sahte KT” (SKB) gruplarına ayrıldı. Vizuel Analog Skala’da (VAS) istirahat (VAS-İ), hareket (VAS-H) ve gece (VAS-G) değerlendirmeleri ayrı ayrı yapıldı. GRZ-İRZ değerlendirmesi için Hubbard Scientific reaksiyon zamanlayıcı, fonksiyonel durum değerlendirmesi için Hızlı Kol, Omuz, El Sakatlık Ölçeği ve EKK için Jamar el dinamometresi ölçümleri tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası karşılaştırmalar için kaydedildi. Bulgular: Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası grup içi karşılaştırmada her iki grubun tüm parametrelerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı iyileşme gösterdiği belirlendi (p<0.05). Grupların tedavi sonrası verileri karşılaştırıldığında ise VAS-H, VAS-İ, GRZ ve İRZ skorlarının İKB grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı azalma gösterdiği tespit edildi (p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, konvansiyonel fizyoterapiye ek olarak uygulanan KT’nin LE’nin konservatif tedavisinde etkili bir yöntem olduğunu gösterildi. Her iki grubun tedavi sonrası sonuçları karşılaştırıldığında ağrı, reaksiyon zamanı (RZ) skorlarında IKT grubu lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulund

Fiziksel Engelli Çocuklarda Beslenme Durumu ile Somatotip Profilleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Değerlendirilmesi

Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenme durumu somatotip karaktertipini etkileyebilir. Bu çocuklarda beslenme durumunun olumsuzetkilenmesi aşırı zayıflığa veya aşırı kilo alımına, özelliklekilonun vücudun santral bölgesinde toplanmasına nedenolabilecek bir etkendir. Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenmeninobezite ile ilişkisi bilinmekle birlikte, somatotip üzerine etkisiniaraştıran sınırlı çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada fizikselengelli çocuklarda beslenme durumunun somatotip karakterleriüzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya 84 fizikselengelli çocuk katıldı. Çocuklar fonksiyonel engel seviyeleri KabaMotor Fonksiyon Sınıflama Sistemi (KMFSS) ile değerlendirildi.Çocukların yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ)değişkenleri belirlendi. Somatotip karakter analizi Heath-Cartermetodu ile beslenme durumu ise Çocuk Beslenme Anketi (ÇBA)ile değerlendirildi. Çocuklarda ‘mezomorfik endomorf’, ‘endomezomorf’, ‘dengeli ektomorf’ ile ‘mezomorfi ve endomorfi’olmak üzere 4 somatotip karakteri belirlendi. Yapılan istatistikselanaliz sonucunda fiziksel engelli çocukların somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki olmadığıbelirlendi (p>0.05). Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Budurum fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotip karakteri belirleyendiğer etkenlerin araştırılması yönünden dikkate alınmalıdır.The nutritional status in physically disabled children may affect the somatotype character type. Negatively affected nutritional status of these children is a factor that may cause excessive weakness or excessive weight gain, especially in the central part of the body. Although it is known that nutrition in children with physical disabilities is associated with obesity, there is limited study investigating the effect of somatotype on nutrition. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nutritional status on the somatotype characteristics of children with physical disabilities. 84 physically disabled children participated in the study. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is used to evaluate the functional disability level of children. Age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) variables of the children were determined. Somatotype character analysis was evaluated by the Heath-Carter Method and nutritional status was evaluated by the Child Nutrition Questionnaire. 4 somatotype characters; mesomorphic endomorph, endo-mesomorph, balanced ectomorph, mesomorphy and endomorphy are determined in children. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that the nutritional status of physically disabled children did not affect somatotype characteristics (p>0.05). It was determined that somatotype characters did not affect the nutritional status of children with physical disabilities. This situation should be taken into consideration in terms of investigating other factors that determine the somatotype character in children with physical disabilities
