Relationship between functional movement screening and static balance scores: Increasing the educational level of elite female wrestlers

The importance of balance is considerably high in many sports that require struggle and close contact such as wrestling. Some losses in maintaining the balance due to the movements requiring high intensity during competitions and increase in the risk of injury due to these losses may occur in wrestling athletes. The aim of this study is to Increase the educational level of elite female wrestlers by examining the relationship between Functional Movement Screening Test Scores and static balance performance scores of elite young female wrestlers. 19 elite female wrestlers having average age of 22.94 ± 2.67 years, body weight 61.63 ± 7.25 kg, height 165.37 ± 5.17 cm and BMI 22.46 ± 1.60kg / m2 participated in the study. Functional Movement Screen Test ™ (FMST™) battery was used in determining the functional movements of the participants, while Tecnobody Prokin 200 Bergamo/Italy was used to determine the total postural stability index values. All static balance measurements were evaluated as standing Double-Leg Eyes Open (DLEO), Eyes Open Single-Leg Dominant Non-Dominant (EOSL-DM and EOSL-ND). Since higher stability index values indicate lower stability, the participants were found to have a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU, and between dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU. In addition, it was found out that, there was a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance, dominant leg static balance and double leg static balance and the FMST™ scores of the participants. The results of this research can be very effective in improving the educational process in the field of wrestling

ACUTE RESIDUAL EFFECTS OF SHORT AND LONG DURATION STATIC STRETCHING ON COUNTER MOVEMENT JUMP PERFORMANCES IN WELL-TRAINED FEMALE COMBAT ATHLETES

Duration of static stretching is the most crucial factor associated with static stretch-induced impairments in explosive muscular performances. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute residual effects of lower body short (S-SS) and long duration static stretching protocols (L-SS) on counter movement jump (CMJ) performances in skilled female combat athletes. Twelve well-trained female combat athletes (training experience: 11.5 ∓ 3.6 years) performed S-SS (6 min of total stretch duration) and L-SS (12 min of total stretch duration) separated by 48 hours in a randomized, balanced order. After each protocol, participants performed, respectively, counter movement jump with arm swing (CMJAS) and with hands on hip (CMJHH) separated by 30-second rest interval at the 15th second and 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th minute of the 20-minute recovery period. An insignificant interaction effect was found for Protocol × Time in CMJ heights (p = 0.722) indicating that both S-SS and L-SS reduced CMJ heights to a similar extent over the course of 20 min recovery period. S-SS and L-SS led to a mean CMJ height reduction of 6.29% (p < 0.05, d = 0.603) and 6.74% (p < 0.05, d = 0.610), respectively. Greater than 50% of participants experienced a reduction in CMJAS height exceeding minimum detectable change score with 90% confidence at each time point during the recovery period without exception. Use of static stretching protocols ≥ 6 minutes prior to competitions and/or training sessions may lead to impairment in lower body explosive strength of well-trained female combat athletes that persists at least 20 minutes. This impairment may also indirectly hinder their sport-specific performance since combat sports include a great deal of movement patterns related to lower body explosive strength.   Article visualizations

The aim of this study is to Increase the educational level of elite female wrestlers by examining the relationship between Functional Movement Screening Test Scores and static balance performance scores of elite young female wrestlers. 19 elite female wrestlers having average age of 22.94 ± 2.67 years, body weight 61.63 ± 7.25 kg, height 165.37 ± 5.17 cm and BMI 22.46 ± 1.60kg / m2 participated in the study. Functional Movement Screen Test ™ (FMST™) battery was used in determining the functional movements of the participants, while Tecnobody Prokin 200 Bergamo/Italy was used to determine the total postural stability index values. All static balance measurements were evaluated as standing Double-Leg Eyes Open (DLEO), Eyes Open Single-Leg Dominant Non-Dominant (EOSL-DM and EOSL-ND). Since higher stability index values indicate lower stability, the participants were found to have a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU, and between dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU. In addition, it was found out that, there was a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance, dominant leg static balance and double leg static balance and the FMST™ scores of the participants. The results of this research can be very effective in improving the educational process in the field of wrestling.La importancia del equilibrio es considerablemente alta en muchos deportes que requieren lucha y contacto cercano, como la lucha libre. Algunas pérdidas en el mantenimiento del equilibrio debido a los movimientos que requieren alta intensidad durante las competiciones y un aumento en el riesgo de lesiones debido a estas pérdidas pueden ocurrir en los atletas de lucha libre. El objetivo de este estudio es aumentar el nivel educativo de las luchadoras de élite examinando la relación entre las puntuaciones de las pruebas de detección de movimiento funcional y las puntuaciones de rendimiento del equilibrio estático de las luchadoras jóvenes de élite. Participaron en el estudio 19 luchadoras de élite con una edad promedio de 22,94 ± 2,67 años, un peso corporal de 61,63 ± 7,25 kg, una altura de 165,37 ± 5,17 cm y un IMC de 22,46 ± 1,60 kg / m2. La batería Functional Movement Screen Test ™ (FMST ™) se utilizó para determinar los movimientos funcionales de los participantes, mientras que Tecnobody Prokin 200 Bergamo / Italia se utilizó para determinar los valores del índice de estabilidad postural total. Todas las medidas de equilibrio estático se evaluaron como ojos abiertos con dos piernas de pie (DLEO), ojos abiertos con una sola pierna, dominante, no dominante (EOSL-DM y EOSL-ND). Dado que los valores más altos del índice de estabilidad indican una estabilidad más baja, se encontró que los participantes tenían una correlación negativa entre el equilibrio estático de la pierna no dominante y la HS. SM. y TSPU, y entre el equilibrio estático de la pierna dominante y HS. SM. y TSPU. Además, se descubrió que había una correlación negativa entre el equilibrio estático de la pierna no dominante, el equilibrio estático de la pierna dominante y el equilibrio estático de las dos piernas y las puntuaciones FMST ™ de los participantes. Los resultados de esta investigación pueden ser muy efectivos para mejorar el proceso educativo en el campo de la lucha libre
