No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The presence of to is thoracolumbar (TL) mobility a significant aspect in the context of running. Most of the factors may be related to certain kinematic parameters of the lumbopelvic-hip complex during running.

Conditions

  • Runners
  • Mobility
  • Fascia
  • Range of Motion

Interventions

OTHER

Participants were recreational runners who run between 20 to 50 km weekly; each one has 35 runners.

The Myoton device was used over the Latissimus Dorsi (LD) muscle on both dominant and nondominant sides to measure muscle tone (Hz), elasticity, and stiffness (N/m) values. Trunk flexibility and flexibility of lumbar extensor muscles were measured with tape measurement (cm). The trunk range of motion (ROM, ˚) was measured using goniometer. Thoracolumbar Fascia Length Test and Modified Schober Test were used for thoracolumbar (TLF) fascia flexibility. The weekly training distance (km), duration (h) and daily water consumption (lt) rates were recorded. The percentage of individuals experiencing lower extremity injuries and lower back pain within the RSM group was calculated.
