“Evaluación de la fuerza muscular del miembro inferior, core y el ángulo q después de la carrera en atletas del club Tungurahua Aadventure Team”

Abstract

The present investigation had the question of knowing the effects of the muscular strength of the lower limb, the Core and the Q angle after the race in athletes of the Tungurahua adventure team. Evaluations were carried out on 51 athletes. Of which 26 were women. The evaluation of angle Q was performed with a goniometer; For the muscular strength of the lower limb a dynamometer was used and for the evaluation of the stability of the core stability three tests were used (modified test, resistance test, lateral bridge test). For the collection of information, a data collection sheet was prepared. The evaluations are made before and after the race on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The presence of pain and injuries was also assessed with the application of a simple questionnaire. Changes were obtained since the athletes present an increase in the angle Q and a decrease in the muscular strength of the lower limb after the race. Regarding the presence of knee pain, it was higher in men with 72%, unlike women with 58%. On the other hand, no statistically significant changes in core stability were obtained because the P value was not less than 0.05. It is also concluded that the main factor of these changes is muscle fatigue that occurs after the race with a higher prevalence of injuries
