Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the body composition, lower muscle strength, balance and walking ability of deaf junior curling players.BR 13 junior curling players(6 deaf group; DG, 7 normal group; NG) were volunteered, all participants were measured body composition(InBody 4.0, Korea), lower muscle strength(BIODEX, USA), balance (BIODEX, USA), walking ability(BIODEX, USA). All factors were analysed using independent t-test. Body composition was no significant. Peak toque, Peak toque/body weight, Aver. power, Total work(300deg/sec) in lower muscle strength were no significant, but extension and flexion on right leg in Total work(J) of 60deg/sec were lower DG than NG. Also, extension on right leg in Total work(J) of 180deg/sec was lower DG than NG. A/P, M/L in standing on one leg with eyes closed in static balance test were lower DG than NG, but no significant on dynamic balance test. Walking ability in 6min. was no significant. BR In conclusion, we suggest that deaf curling players need to improve the function of lower muscle strength and balance ability.
