Abstract

Objectives

Investigating hamstring eccentric strength before and after a basketball match.

Design

Cohort observational study.

Setting

Playing facilities of local basketball teams on official championship matches.

Participants

Forty-four healthy male and female 14-25-year-old basketball athletes.

Main outcome measures

Hamstring mean, absolute peak torque, and total work were measured during the execution of the Nordic hamstring exercise before and after a match. Anterior knee laxity was also measured.

Results

The results showed non-significant intersex pre- vs. post-match changes for all measured parameters. The 14-19-year-old male players showed a significantly lower post-match mean hamstring peak torque than their 20-25-year-old peers (p = 0.013). Hamstring strength correlated with age in males with the younger players significantly weaker post-match than the older athletes. Younger vs. older males experienced a mean eccentric hamstring peak torque decrease of 16.4 ± 38.18 Nm (−5.6 %) vs. an increase of 27.55 ± 41.87 Nm (11.8 % - Spearman R = 0.408), an absolute eccentric hamstring peak torque reduction of 13.32 ± 35.45 Nm (−4 %) vs. an improvement of 31.5 ± 43.83 Nm (11.6 % - R = 0.434), and a hamstring work decline of 1474.5 ± 1370.83 J (−19.2 %) vs. an increment of 560.32 ± 1584.28 J (13.2 % - R = 0.627) respectively.

Conclusions

Younger male basketball players were more fatigued post-match compared to their older same-sex peers.

年轻男性运动员在参加篮球比赛后表现出比女性和老年男性更高的偏心腿筋肌肉疲劳

目的探讨篮球比赛前后腘绳肌偏心力量的变化。设计队列观察性研究。当地篮球队正式冠军赛的比赛设施。参与者：44名14-25岁的健康男女篮球运动员。主要结果测量：在比赛前后进行北欧腿筋训练时，测量腿筋平均值、绝对峰值扭矩和总功。还测量了膝关节前侧的松弛度。结果所有测量参数均显示双性人配对前后无显著差异。14-19岁男性运动员的赛后平均腿筋峰值扭矩明显低于20-25岁的同龄人（p = 0.013）。男性腿筋力量与年龄相关，年轻运动员赛后明显弱于年长运动员。年轻和年长的男性经历了意味着古怪肌腱最大转矩下降16.4±38.18 Nm(−5.6%)与增加27.55±41.87 Nm(11.8% -斯皮尔曼R = 0.408),绝对的偏心肌腱峰值扭矩减少13.32±35.45 Nm(−4%)和31.5±43.83 Nm的改善(11.6% - R = 0.434),和腿筋工作下降1474.5±1370.83 J(−19.2%)和560.32±1584.28 J的增量分别为(13.2%,R = 0.627)。结论年轻男性篮球运动员的赛后疲劳程度高于年龄较大的同龄男性篮球运动员。

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.
