High body mass index, increased weight-bearing activity, ligament laxity are risk factors for pes planus, however, there is no research that looks for the relationship between these three risk factors in athletes. Adult athletes have a higher prevalence of pes planus than young athletes. In a conceptual framework regarding the etiology of injury in athletes, the interaction of multiple injury risk factors will further increase the risk of injury to athletes. This study aims to determine the relationship between body mass index, type of weight bearing activity and the Beighton and Horan Joint Mobility Index with pes planus in adult athletes. Secondary data from athletes screening of Regional Exercise Center (PUSLATDA) East Java was used in this study. Randomization technique was applied to recruit 96 proper respondents. Binary Logistics Regression test for calculating the relationship between BMI, type of weight bearing activity (high/low impact sport), BHJMI score and Chippaux-Smirax Index (CSI) with the statistical significance of p < 0.05. There was a significant relationship between body mass index and pes planus on the right foot (p = 0.042) and left foot (p = 0.000), as well as BHJMI and pes planus on the left foot only (p 0.032), but there was an increased risk of pes planus in adult athletes as their BMI, type of weight bearing activity, and BHJMI increased. In adult athletes, there is a strong link between body mass index and pes planus in both feet, as well as BHJMI and pes planus on the left foot only; nevertheless, the risk of pes planus increases as body mass index, type of weight bearing activity, and BHJMI rise.
Decreased physical performance of lower extremity increases the risk of injury or repetitive injury. Lower extremity physical performance is objectively reflected in lower extremity motor components consisting of triple leg hop test, one leg stance test, star excursion balance test, and agility T-test. A factor associated with decreased physical performance of lower extremity is highly likely because of rising body mass index (BMI). To analyse the association of body mass index of adult athletes and the physical performance of lower extremity. Secondary data from athletes screening of Regional Exercise Center (PUSLATDA) East Java was used in this study. Analyzed variables were including BMI, triple leg hop test, one leg stance, star excursion balance test, agility T-test. Randomization technique was applied to recruit 91 proper respondents. Normality test, Spearman test for calculating the correlation between BMI and triple leg hop test, one leg stance, star excursion balance test, agility T-test was performed with the statistical significance of p < 0.05. This finding shows that there was a significant correlation BMI and one leg stance foot in athletes, with a correlation coefficient of -0.229 (p-value=0.029). Meanwhile, triple leg hop test, star excursion balance test (SEBT) and agility T-test showed no significant relationship with BMI of athletes. A significant correlation has been found between body mass index and one leg stance test in adult athletes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
