237 Is gluteus medius muscle strength important in preventing injuries to elite female handball players? Relationship between balance and jump performance
2020
Overview
BackgroundBalance and jumping mechanisms are important to prevent injuries in sports such as handball, which require immediately change of direction, jumping and landing strategy. Strong proximal stability is required for accurate jump performance and stability.ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between gluteus medius strength and static, dynamic balance, horizontal and vertical jump performance.DesignProspective field trial study.SettingElite women handball players in Turkish Handball Super League.Patients (or Participants)Forty-two elite women handball players (Age range:15–40 years, Body Mass Index:22,1±2,2) from Turkish Handball Super League were included in this study.Interventions (or assessment of risk factors)The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer was used to determine the strength of the gluteus medius. Single leg hop (SLH) test was used for horizontal jump and Lafayette Vertimetric device was used for vertical jump (VJ) evaluation. Y Balance Test (YBT) was used for the dynamic balance with direction of anterior, posteriomedial, posteriolateral and Standing Stork Test (SST) with eyes closed for the measurement of static balance.Main outcome measurementsGluteus medius strength with hand dynamometer compared with YBT, SST, VJ and SLH tests.ResultsA statistically significant relationship was found between anterior parameter of YBT and gluteus medius strength (r=0,665 P<0,001). Additionally, a statistically significant relationship was found between gluteus medius strength and VJ (r=0,479 p<0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between gluteus medius and SST test, posteriomedial and posteriolateral parameters of dynamic balance and SLH test parameters (respectively, r=0,109; r=0,152; r=-0,144; r=-0,182, p>0.05).ConclusionsAccording to this study, a significant relationship was found between the strength of the gluteus medius and anterior parameter of the dynamic balance and VJ. It is recommended to support gluteus medius muscle strength for the quality of vertical jump and dynamic balance, which is necessary for the prevention of injuries.
