Abstract

Achilles tendinopathy is prevalent among Irish dancers, believed to be due to aesthetic technical requirements and high-impact landing tasks. However, the peak Achilles tendon force during Irish dancing-specific landing tasks has not been quantified. Furthermore, the influence of fatigue is unclear. This study aimed to quantify the peak Achilles tendon force during three common Irish dancing landing tasks and investigate the effects of fatigue on this force. Twelve nationally competitive Irish dancers completed the landing tasks prior to and following a fatigue protocol. A Vicon motion analysis system and AMTI force plates were used to calculate sagittal plane ankle joint kinematics during landing to estimate peak Achilles tendon force. Three independent measures (Rating-of-Fatigue scale, Flight time: Contraction during a counter movement jump and jump height during the landing trials) were used to evaluate participant fatigue between conditions. Results revealed a significant difference in peak Achilles tendon force between the three landing tasks, however, no significant difference was observed between pre- and post-fatigue. Further research is required to investigate the effects of the landing technique used in Irish Dancing on peak Achilles tendon force with the aim to reduce peak Achilles tendon force and the risk of developing Achilles tendinopathy.

疲劳对爱尔兰舞蹈特定着地任务中跟腱峰值力量的影响。

跟腱病在爱尔兰舞者中很普遍，据信这是由于美学技术要求和高冲击性着地任务造成的。然而，爱尔兰舞蹈特定着地任务中的跟腱峰值力尚未量化。此外，疲劳的影响也不明确。本研究旨在量化爱尔兰舞蹈三种常见着地任务中的跟腱峰值力，并调查疲劳对跟腱峰值力的影响。12 名国家级爱尔兰舞竞技选手在疲劳协议之前和之后完成了着地任务。使用 Vicon 运动分析系统和 AMTI 力板计算着陆时矢状面踝关节的运动学特性，以估算跟腱的峰值力。三项独立测量指标（疲劳评分量表、飞行时间、反向运动跳跃时的收缩量和跟腱峰值）分别是：疲劳评分量表、飞行时间和跟腱峰值：飞行时间：反向运动起跳时的收缩和着地试验时的起跳高度）来评估不同条件下参与者的疲劳程度。结果显示，跟腱峰值力在三种着地任务之间存在明显差异，但在疲劳前和疲劳后没有观察到明显差异。需要进一步研究爱尔兰舞中使用的着地技术对跟腱峰值力的影响，以降低跟腱峰值力和跟腱病变的风险。

期刊介绍： Sports Biomechanics is the Thomson Reuters listed scientific journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS). The journal sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic). Sports Biomechanics is unique in its emphasis on a broad biomechanical spectrum of human performance including, but not limited to, technique, skill acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulation, measurement, and injury prevention and rehabilitation. As well as maintaining scientific rigour, there is a strong editorial emphasis on ''reader friendliness''. By emphasising the practical implications and applications of research, the journal seeks to benefit practitioners directly. Sports Biomechanics publishes papers in four sections: Original Research, Reviews, Teaching, and Methods and Theoretical Perspectives.
