ΜΥΟΣΚΕΛΕΤΙΚΕΣ ΚΑΚΩΣΕΙΣ ΣΤΟΥΣ ΑΘΛΗΤΕΣ. Ο ΡΟΛΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΛΟΓΟΥ ΑΓΩΝΙΣΤΩΝ/ ΑΝΤΑΓΩΝΙΣΤΙΚΩΝ ΜΥΩΝ -ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΙΚΕΣ ΣΩΜΑΤΟΜΕΤΡΙΚΕΣ ΠΑΡΑΜΕΤΡΟΙ-
THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO EXAMINE IF SOCCER INJURIES THAT OCCURED IN AN ANNUAL SOCCER SEASON CORRELATED WITH THE RATIO OF AGONIST/ANTAGONIST OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES AND WITH THE MUSCLE FLEXIBILITY AGE AND PLAYING TIME. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE VARIABLES OF STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY WE USED THE ISOKINETIC APPARATUS TO MEASURE STRENGTH AND DR NICHOLAS FLEXIBILITY SCALE TO EVALUATE FLEXIBILITY. AT THE SAME TIME WE SUPERVISED 36 SOCCER PLAYERS DURING THEIR TRAINING AND GAME ACTIVITIES, IN ORDER TO RECORD ALL INCIDENTS THAT OCCURED DURING AN ANNUAL SOCCER SEASON. THE T OF INJURIES THAT WE RECORDED DURING THE ANNUAL SEASONWERE: MUSCLE STRAINS 54%, ANKLE SPRAINS 15%, KNEE MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT 7%, KNEE LAT. COLLATERAL LIGAMENT 2%, MENISCUS 6%, LOW BACK PAIN 6%, FOOT HEMATOMAS 6%, ETC. THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT THE RATIO OF AGONIST/ANTAGONIST MUSCLES STRENGTH WAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY CORRELATED WITH SOCCER INJURIES. ITIS BELIEVED THAT THIS IS DUE TO MULTIVARIABLE PROBLEM OF WHAT CAUSES THE ATHLETIC INJURY, HOWEVER SEPARATE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RATIO AGONIST/ANTAGONIST WITH MUSCLE STRAINS ALONE SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION AT P<0,03 LEVEL. IT WAS ASSUMED THAT CORRECTING THE MUSCLE STRENGTH IMBALANCE AMONG AGONIST/ANTAGONIST MUSCULATURE OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES WILL HELP TO PREVENT MUSCLE STRAINSIN SOCCER. ADDITIONAL STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF AGE, MUSCLE FLEXIBILITY AND PLAYING TIME VARIABLES WITH SOCCER INJURIES, SHOWED NON SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION. ITIS CONCLUDED THAT THE OUTCOME OF SOCCER INJURIES IS NOT AFFECTED NEITHER BY RATIO OF AGONIST/ANTAGONIST MUSCLE STRENGTH NOR BY AGE FLEXIBILITY AND PLAYING TIME VARIABLES, WHERE MUSCLE STRAINS WERE PROOVED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BYMUSCLE IMBALANCE.
