Abstract

Background and Study Aim. Foot posture is an important determinant of a basketball player's performance. It influences their ability to generate power, maintain balance, and absorb shock. The aim of the current study was therefore to examine the association between foot posture and landing error score in recreational basketball players. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Fifty recreational basketball players from selected basketball clubs were chosen for the study. Their Foot Posture Index (FPI) and Landing Error Scores (LESS) were assessed. Nonparametric statistics, such as chi-square tests and the Mann-Whitney U test, were employed to examine the relationship between selected demographic variables and FPI and LESS scores. Additionally, assessed the difference in foot posture between the dominant and non-dominant legs. p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results. Most participants exhibited normal foot posture, with no significant differences between the dominant and non-dominant legs, as assessed by FPI (p < 0.05). Additionally, an association was found between FPI and LESS scores, with 44% of participants showing a propensity for landing errors. The analysis revealed that a notable number of participants were categorized as 'poor' in LESS even with normal foot posture. This implies that landing errors are not only influenced by foot posture. Conclusions. There is an association between foot posture and the occurrence of landing errors in basketball players. This study emphasizes the need to thoroughly examine basketball players' FPI. It also underscores the importance of developing strategies aimed at helping them maintain optimal foot posture. These strategies can assist in avoiding landing errors, reducing the risk of injury, and promoting good health and well-being.
休闲篮球运动员的脚部姿势和着地误差得分:预防下肢损伤的新方法
背景和研究目的。脚部姿势是决定篮球运动员表现的重要因素。它影响着运动员产生力量、保持平衡和吸收冲击的能力。因此,本研究旨在探讨休闲篮球运动员的脚部姿势与落地错误得分之间的关系。材料与方法采用横断面研究设计。从选定的篮球俱乐部中挑选了 50 名休闲篮球运动员进行研究。对他们的脚部姿势指数(FPI)和着地误差得分(LESS)进行评估。研究采用了非参数统计方法,如卡方检验和曼-惠特尼 U 检验,来检验选定人口统计学变量与 FPI 和 LESS 分数之间的关系。此外,还评估了优势腿和非优势腿之间的足部姿势差异。结果根据 FPI 评估,大多数参与者的足部姿势正常,优势腿和非优势腿之间无明显差异(p < 0.05)。此外,还发现 FPI 和 LESS 分数之间存在关联,44% 的参与者有着陆失误的倾向。分析显示,即使脚部姿势正常,仍有相当多的参与者在 LESS 中被归类为 "差"。这意味着着陆错误不仅受脚部姿势的影响。结论。篮球运动员的脚部姿势与着地错误的发生之间存在关联。这项研究强调了彻底检查篮球运动员 FPI 的必要性。它还强调了制定旨在帮助他们保持最佳脚部姿势的策略的重要性。这些策略有助于避免着地失误,降低受伤风险,促进身心健康。
