Abstract

Objectives: Early specialization in a single sport from childhood is associated with an increased risk for acute and overuse injuries. Conversely, experience in multiple sports may be associated with improved neuromuscular control and performance. Currently, early sports specialization remains poorly researched in Japan. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the relationship between early sports specialization and landing and balance ability in Japan.

Methods: Thirty-eight female college basketball players were included and divided into the early specialization and nonspecialization groups. Landing and balance ability was measured using the one-leg jump-landing test, and the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) differences between the two groups were examined using unpaired t-test.

Results: Results showed no significant differences in SEBT between the two groups. In the one-leg jump-landing test, the vertical maximum ground reaction force and loading rate of the nondominant foot were significantly higher in the early specialization group than in the nonspecialization group.

Conclusion: Thus, in female college basketball players, early specialization may affect ground reaction forces and loading rate and may be a factor in developing acute and overuse injuries.

早期运动专业化对女大学生篮球运动员落地及平衡能力的影响。

目的：儿童时期早期专门从事单一运动与急性和过度使用损伤的风险增加有关。相反，多种运动的经验可能与神经肌肉控制和表现的改善有关。目前，日本对早期体育专业化的研究仍然很少。因此，本研究旨在阐明日本早期运动专业化与落地平衡能力的关系。方法：将38名女大学生篮球运动员分为早期专业化组和非专业化组。着地和平衡能力采用单腿起跳着地检验，两组间的星偏移平衡检验（SEBT）差异采用非配对t检验。结果：两组患者SEBT无显著差异。在单腿起落试验中，早期专门化组非优势足垂直最大着地反力和负重率显著高于非专门化组。结论：女大学生篮球运动员早期专业化训练可能会影响地面反作用力和负荷率，并可能是发生急性和过度使用损伤的因素。

期刊介绍： The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-reviewed, clinically oriented publication for primary care physicians. We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery. The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment. We routinely cover such topics as: managing chronic disease, surgical techniques in preventing and managing injuries, the latest advancements in treatments for helping patients lose weight, and related exercise and nutrition topics that can impact the patient during recovery and modification.
