The Comparative Analysis of Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex Capacity Evaluation in Bodybuilders and Football Referees

Abstract

The aim: A comparative analysis of the efficiency of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex for bodybuilders and football referees. Defining factors that are related and those that are not related to their professions that can affect their efficiency of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. Materials and methods: 35 bodybuilders and 41 football referees were randomly selected in different assosiations in Lodz. The study was performed using a questionnaire and tests for the SFTR range of motion of hip joints and also a Shober test. Results: It occurs that statistically the extension, flexion, abduction, external and internal rotation were significant with bodybuilders and the extension and internal rotation movement with the referees. The mean values for the Shober test when moving forward were worse for the test group than man for the control group were correct. Alongside bulking within the test group and control group the range of motion in the hip joint has decreased. The biggest statistical significance has been for the flexion and internal rotation. Conclusions: In the group of bodybuilders the restriction appears to be in 5 out of 6 type of movements in the hip joint area: extension, flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation. In the second group, football referees the range of motion forward and internal rotation is restricted. The mobility of the lumbar region in both groups is within the average, but for the bodybuilders at quite low. The efficiency of lumbo-pelvic-hip complex is determined by duration of training, body mass, type of training and also any pain ailments. Bodybuilders have less efficiency of lumbo-pelvic-hip complex.
