Farklı Ayak Bileği Kuvvetlendirme Eğitim Programlarının Ayak Taban Basınçları ve Performans Üzerine Etkilerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate isokinetic eccentric (ECC), isokinetic concentric (CON) and elastic band (LAS) strengthening program effects on healty sedantary males’ ankles on strength, endurance, balance, jumping performance and foot plantar pressure. Sixty-four males between 18 and 26 years of age participated in the study. The participants divided randolmly three groups which are concentric isokinetic (n = 22), eccentric isokinetic (n=21), elastic resistance ankle strengthening groups (n=21). These trainings were done three days a week, for eight weeks for both side. Strengthening programs procedures were progressively harder by using increase with number of repetation or set. Measurement for evaluating strength, endurance, balance and jumping performances and foot plantar pressure were repeated before, after and 1 month follow up after trainings. There were statistically significant increases in concentric evertor strength and endurance for both sides of the all groups after training program (p<0.05). After training programs, it was not shown statistically improvement in invertor muscles strength and endurance except CON group (p>0.05). Eccentric strength values were not statistically significant for isokinetic groups (p>0.05) but there was significantly decreased for both side eccentric invertor muscle strength after training and 1 month follow up after training for LAS group (p<0.05). There were statistically significant increases after training program in jumping performance of the all groups (p<0.05). All parameters were significantly higher among CON compared to LAS group (p<0.05). There was significantly improvement dynamic balance after isokinetic training program (p<0.05). There were not statistically significant differences static balance performances and foot plantar pressure for all groups (p>0.05) except CON group dominant side eyes opened and non-dominant side eyes closed static balance values and nondominant side EKS group medial heel, dominanat side LAS group basis of metatars plantar pressure (p<0.05). In conclusion ankle isokinetic training program is more effective than elastic resistance training program regarding improvement on endurance, strenght, explosive strength and dynamic balance. Ankle muscle strength training programs, which include stabilizator muscles, can improve performance, especially when applied concentrically. Ankle muscles strength training programs may be applied to athletes for ankle injuries prevention especially returning to play after ankle injuries.
