LANDING PATTERN SCREENING OF RECREATIONAL MALE AND FEMALE ATHLETES

Erkek ve kadın atletlerin yere düşüş hareketinin değerlendirilmesinde Hatalı Yere Düşüş Puanlama Sistemi (LESS) kullanışlı, çabuk, güvenilir, geçerli ve duyarlı bir ölçüm aracıdır. Bu çalışmada, rekreatif erkek ve kadın atletlerin LESS ile hareket modelleri araştırılmıştır. Çalışmaya 241 (101 kadın, 140 erkek) gönüllü rekreatif atlet katılmıştır. Atletlerin yere düşüş, sagital ve frontal düzlemden iki el kamerası ile kayıt altına alınmıştır. Bu kayıtlar, LESS konusunda eğitimli bir değerlendirici tarafından izlenerek puanlandırılmıştır. Erkek ve kadın atletler arasında yapılan karşılaştırmalarda toplam ve frontal düzlem LESS skorları anlamlı farklılıklar göstermiştir. Toplam LESS ile birlikte, her bir LESS maddesi ayrı olarak değerlendirilirse yere düşüş hata tespitinde daha faydalı bir araç olabilir. Bununla beraber, özellikle frontal düzlem değerlendirmeleri, kadın atletlerin sıçrama-düşüş aktivite programları tasarımında yol gösterici bir faktör olabilir.

REKREATİF ERKEK VE KADIN ATLETLERİN YERE DÜŞÜŞ MODEL TESPİTİ

Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) is a useful, quick, reliable, valid and responsive instrument for determination of landing movement errors of male and female athletes. This study focused to investigate the landing pattern of recreational male and female athletes, using the Landing Error Scoring System. The study included 241 volunteer recreational athletes (101 females, 140 males). Jump-landings were recorded by two camcorders from sagittal and frontal planes. These records were replayed and scored by a trained rater on LESS score sheets. Total and frontal plane LESS score was significantly different between male and female athletes. Beside the total LESS score, each item may be evaluated separately; frontal plane evaluation results, in particular, can be a guiding factor in designing such jump-landing activity programs in female athletes.
