Abstract

Objective

To investigate the relationship between Beighton score and biomechanical risk factors, such as knee valgus, in female, adolescent volleyball players.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Biomechanics laboratory.

Participants

25 adolescent, club-level female volleyball athletes (14.5 ± 1.8 years) were tested between September 2021–November 2021.

Main outcome measures

Participants were asked to perform a double-leg vertical jump (DLVJ), a single-leg squat (SLS), and a single-leg drop landing (SLDL). Peak coronal plane angles during the DLVJ, SLS, and SLDL were computed. Spearman correlations were performed to identify significant relationships between Beighton score and biomechanical variables.

Results

Peak knee valgus was found to be moderately correlated to Beighton score during the DLVJ-Land (r = 0.487, p = 0.014), SLDL (r = 0.478, p = 0.016), and SLS (r = 0.439, p = 0.028) tasks.

Conclusions

Overall, adolescent volleyball players with higher Beighton scores tended to exhibit a greater peak knee valgus, suggesting that such athletes could benefit from a targeted neuromuscular training or injury prevention program.

青少年女子排球运动员的比顿评分与生物力学风险因素之间的关系

主要结果测量要求参与者进行双腿垂直起跳（DLVJ）、单腿深蹲（SLS）和单腿落地（SLDL）。计算了 DLVJ、SLS 和 SLDL 过程中的峰值冠状面角度。结果发现，在 DLVJ-落地（r = 0.487，p = 0.014）、SLDL（r = 0.478，p = 0.结论总的来说，Beighton 分数较高的青少年排球运动员往往表现出更高的膝外翻峰值，这表明此类运动员可以从有针对性的神经肌肉训练或损伤预防计划中获益。

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
