Abstract

The strength of the lateral flexor muscles in the trunk is necessary for maintaining stability in the rib cage, spinal column, and preventing a higher number of injuries, while also enhancing overall trunk muscle strength. This study, conducted in a transversal manner, aimed to identify gender-based differences in the strength of trunk lateral flexor muscles among university athletes in the younger senior age group. The study involved 46 athletes from the University of Novi Sad, comprising 25 male participants (height =181.27±6.28 cm; weight =78.31±12.14 kg; BMI =23.78±3.13 kg/m2; mean age =23.75±0.30) and 21 female participants (height =168.19±5.48 cm; weight = 3.72±5.94 kg; BMI =22.53±7.78 kg/m2; mean age =23.68±0.22). The results of the independent t-test revealed no statistically significant differences between the two gender groups based on dimorphic characteristics (p>0.05) in the assessment of trunk lateral flexor muscle strength. It is essential to consider other aspects of the locomotor system specific to each sport and discipline to effectively prevent injuries during training and decrease the overall injury rate.

男女运动员躯干肌肉力量（外侧屈肌组）的差异

躯干侧屈肌的力量对于保持肋骨架和脊柱的稳定性、预防更多的损伤以及增强躯干肌肉的整体力量都是必要的。本研究以横向方式进行，旨在确定低龄高年级大学生运动员躯干侧屈肌力量的性别差异。研究涉及诺维萨德大学的 46 名运动员，包括 25 名男性参与者（身高 =181.27±6.28 厘米；体重 =78.31±12.14 千克；体重指数 =23.78±3.13 千克/平方米；平均年龄 =23.75±0.30）和 21 名女性参与者（身高 =168.19±5.48 厘米；体重 =3.72±5.94 千克；体重指数 =22.53±7.78 千克/平方米；平均年龄 =23.68±0.22）。独立 t 检验结果显示，在躯干侧屈肌力评估中，基于二态性特征的两个性别组间差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。要有效预防训练中的损伤并降低总体损伤率，必须考虑到每个运动项目和学科特有的运动系统的其他方面。
