: Core stability is a cornerstone of optimum athletic performance, and its reduction is a risk factor for athletic injuries. Evidence has shown that core impairments can alter lower-limb mechanics through the kinetic chains. Additionally, plantar pressure can be influenced by proximal conditions, such as core muscle fatigue. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between core endurance and plantar pressure distribution (PPD) during double-leg stance, single-leg stance, and single-leg squat positions in healthy male athletes. : A total of 21 healthy male recreational athletes between 19 and 26 years of age volunteered to participate in this correlational study. The McGill core endurance test was used to measure the endurance of their core flexors, extensors, and lateral flexors. The participants' PPD was evaluated using the Tekscan Mobile Mat pressure measurement system in three positions (double-leg stance, single-leg stance, and single-leg squat) for both the dominant and non-dominant feet. : There was a poor and insignificant correlation ( > 0.05) between the core flexors', extensors', and side flexors' endurance and the peak and total PPD in all the tested positions for both the dominant and non-dominant feet. : Core muscle endurance is neither a component that affects nor is affected by the PPD in this study population. Thus, the endurance of core flexors, extensors, and side flexors may not be considered in screening, examination, or intervention for the total and peak pressure during double-leg stance, single-leg stance, and single-leg squat positions for both the dominant and non-dominant feet in the study population. Further similar studies are warranted in various sports and during dynamic tasks to better understand the different dimensions of the studied relationship in athletes.
核心稳定性是最佳运动表现的基石,而其下降是运动损伤的一个风险因素。有证据表明,核心功能障碍可通过动力链改变下肢力学。此外,足底压力会受到诸如核心肌肉疲劳等近端状况的影响。因此,本研究旨在调查健康男性运动员在双腿站立、单腿站立和单腿深蹲姿势下核心耐力与足底压力分布(PPD)之间的相关性。
共有21名年龄在19至26岁之间的健康男性休闲运动员自愿参与这项相关性研究。使用麦吉尔核心耐力测试来测量他们的核心屈肌、伸肌和侧屈肌的耐力。使用Tekscan移动垫压力测量系统在三个姿势(双腿站立、单腿站立和单腿深蹲)下对优势脚和非优势脚的参与者的PPD进行评估。 在所有测试姿势下,对于优势脚和非优势脚,核心屈肌、伸肌和侧屈肌的耐力与PPD峰值和总PPD之间存在较弱且不显著的相关性(>0.05)。 在本研究人群中,核心肌肉耐力既不是影响PPD的因素,也不受PPD的影响。因此,在对本研究人群中优势脚和非优势脚在双腿站立、单腿站立和单腿深蹲姿势下的总压力和峰值压力进行筛查、检查或干预时,可能无需考虑核心屈肌、伸肌和侧屈肌的耐力。有必要在各种运动和动态任务中开展进一步的类似研究,以更好地理解运动员中所研究关系的不同维度。
