Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the effect of lower extremity muscle fatigue on proprioceptive sense in soccer players. 26 male soccer players who play licensed soccer in the amateur soccer teams of the Ağrı province and who was not injured in the past year (Age 20,03±3,38, weight 65,69±10,66, height 176,61±8,72) participated in the study voluntarily. The lactic acid concentration of the participants at rest and their proprioceptive sense measurements were determined by standardized methods and materials. Then, Wingate test was applied to the participants. The lactic acid concentration and proprioceptive sense measurements were repeated at the end of the test. The analysis of the collected data was carried out through the SPSS 22 program. Shapiro-Wilks test was conducted for normality distribution. Independent-Samples t-test was carried out in the comparison of test and control groups and Paired-Samples t-Test was utilized in the comparison of differences between pretest and posttest means. It was concluded that lower extremity fatigue in soccer players has a negative effect on lower extremity proprioceptive sense (p<0.05).
Highlights
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of fatigue in soccer players on alt extremity proprioceptive sense
This study is important in terms of revealing the need for studying the effect of muscle fatigue on proprioceptive sense in soccer players with all its aspects and for the development of programs to prevent sports injuries
After the fatigue protocol applied to soccer players, a significant difference was found in favor of LA and Proprioceptive sense values
Summary
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of fatigue in soccer players on alt extremity proprioceptive sense. This study is important in terms of revealing the need for studying the effect of muscle fatigue on proprioceptive sense in soccer players with all its aspects and for the development of programs to prevent sports injuries. Hypothesis of the study: Fatigue in football players, lower extremity proprioceptive sensation is the negative effect. Muscular fatigue is defined as the insufficiency that occurs in the production or maintenance of a certain power through muscle contraction (Günay and Cicioğlu, 2001). One of the negative effects of muscle fatigue is the fact that it causes decrease in performance (Ferraz et al, 2012; Bompa, 1994). It has been indicated that proprioceptive deficiency facilitates injuries, proprioception in joints deteriorate after injuries and proprioceptive rehabilitation decreases the frequency of injuries or accelerates the treatment process (Evans et al, 2002)
