Akkus, C., Investigation of the Effects of Low Back Pain and Motor Control Influence on Sports Performance in Football Players, Hacettepe University, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Sports Physiotherapy Programme, Master Thesis, Ankara, 2023.
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of low back pain and motor control on athletic performance in football players. A total of 60 male football players, 16 with low back pain, 28 with motor control impairment, and 16 healthy aged 16 years and older (mean age: 17.93±2.15), who have playing football for at least 3 years were included in the study. Demographic information of all football players and back pain history of football players with low back pain were evaluated.The motor control impairment of the football players was evaluated via the Motor Control Test Battery. In order to evaluate the performances of the football players, agility was evaluated via the T Test, speed and coordination via the 4×10 Shuttle Run Test, explosive strength via the Standing Long Jump Test, static balance via the Stand
Stork Balance Test, and dynamic balance with the Lower Quarter Y Balance Test. The parameters related to the core area, core endurance was evaluated via the sport-specific plank endurance test and the side bridge endurance test, core stabilization was evaluated via the Sahrmann's Core Stability Test, the kinetic chain was evaluated via the Functional Movement Screen, and the posture was evaluated via the Corbin
Postural Rating Scale. The motivation of the football players was evaluated with the Sports Motivation Scale-2 and the functionality of the soccer players with low back pain was questioned with the Oswestry Function Questionnaire. As a result of the study, it was observed that while low back pain and motor control impairment did not affect the athletic performance parameters of agility, speed, coordination, explosive strength, static balance and dynamic balance (p>0.05). When the parameters related to the core region of the football players were examined, no difference was observed in the core stabilization levels of the football players with low back pain, motor control impairment and healthy players (p>0.05). The kinetic chain of the athletes were similar and the risk of injury increased in all groups (p>0.05). It is thought that low back pain and motor control impairment do not affect the athletic performance of football players, and they may have developed different adaptation strategies to maintain their performance levels. In future studies, we suggest evaluate the long-term effects of low back pain and motor control impairment on athletic performance levels of football players and using kinematic analysis systems to determine adaptation strategies.
