[Purpose] This study aimed to examine whether trunk stability is related to closed kinetic chain motor performance of the upper and lower limbs. [Participants and Methods] In this study, 27 healthy male university students participated. Trunk stability was measured under two conditions, with and without rhythmic stabilization, as a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation procedure. The shortest time required to perform 20 push-ups and lateral step-up/-downs (closed kinetic chain motor performances) immediately after rhythmic stabilization or sitting rest (without rhythmic stabilization) was measured. [Results] Left and right trunk stabilities were significantly higher, and the time required to perform the closed kinetic chain motor task was significantly shorter under the rhythmic stabilization condition than that of the non-rhythmic stabilization condition. Regarding the relationship between the difference between the two trunk stability conditions and difference between upper/lower limbs closed kinetic chain exercise capacity conditions, left trunk stability correlated with each closed kinetic chain movement, whereas right trunk stability did not correlate with either movement. [Conclusion] Trunk stability was shown to improve closed kinetic chain exercise capacity in the upper and lower limbs, and stability of the trunk's dominant side (here, left side) seemed to regulate.
[目的] 本研究旨在探讨躯干稳定性是否与上下肢的闭链运动表现相关。[参与者与方法] 本研究纳入了27名健康男性大学生。作为一种本体感觉神经肌肉促进技术,在有和没有节律性稳定化两种条件下测量躯干稳定性。测量在进行节律性稳定化或静息坐姿(无节律性稳定化)后立即进行20次俯卧撑和侧向上下台阶(闭链运动表现)所需的最短时间。[结果] 与无节律性稳定化条件相比,在节律性稳定化条件下,左右躯干稳定性显著更高,完成闭链运动任务所需的时间显著更短。关于两种躯干稳定性条件之间的差异与上下肢闭链运动能力条件之间的差异的关系,左躯干稳定性与每个闭链运动相关,而右躯干稳定性与任何一种运动均不相关。[结论] 研究表明,躯干稳定性可提高上下肢的闭链运动能力,并且躯干优势侧(此处为左侧)的稳定性似乎起到调节作用。
