FARKLI EGZERSİZ ÇEŞİTLERİNİN KUADRİSEPS FEMORİS KASININ OKSİJEN SATURASYONU ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

The Effect of Different Exercise Types on the Oxygen Saturation of the Quadriceps Femoris Muscle, Hacettepe University Health Sciences Graduate School Sports Physiotherapy Program Master Thesis, Ankara, 2022. In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of different exercise types on the oxygen saturation of the quadriceps femoris muscle in healthy sedentary and active individuals. Sixteen active sports men (25.813.73 years, BMI: 23.12 kg/m2) and 14 healthy sedentary male individuals (23±3 years, BMI: 22.26 kg/m2) were included in the study. 5 different exercises for the quadriceps femoris muscle of the groups; Muscle oxygen saturations were measured and compared with a near-infrared spectroscopy (MOXY) device before, during and after the isometric, isotonic, eccentric, static stretching and balance coordination exercises. While examining the normality of the data, Kolmogorov Smirnov test was compared with 2 groups The Independent Sample T Test. Since the assumption of normal distribution of measured muscle saturation (%) values for all exercises was provided, the ANOVA test was used, post-hoc comparisons were made using the Bonferroni test. In muscle oxygen saturation measurements made in all individuals, saturation was found to be decreased in eccentric, stretching and isometric exercises, respectively (p<0.05). Muscle oxygen saturation measured during eccentric exercises in active individuals was lower than in other exercises, while it was less in eccentric, stretching and isometric exercises in sedentary individuals (p<0.05). Muscle saturation measurements of the groups were similar during stretching and balance coordination exercises (p>0.05). Muscle oxygen saturation of isometric, isotonic and eccentric exercises was lower in active individuals compared to sedentary individuals (p<0.05). According to the number of exercises, while there was no difference in quadriceps isometric and isotonic exercises in active individuals (p>0.05), saturation was the lowest at 60th seconds in eccentric, balance coordination and stretching exercises (p<0.05). When the number of exercises in sedentary people was evaluated, there was no difference in isometric and balance coordination exercise (p>0.05), while the 60th second measurement was less in isotonic, eccentric and stretching exercises (p<0.05). These changes seen in athletes are thought to be the result of adaptation to exercise training. Exercise training should be planned individually.
