Abstract

ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this
study is to analyze whether there is a difference between dominant and
non-dominant biceps and deltoid muscle volumes of badminton players.Also hand
grip strengthlevels were compared dominant and non-dominant hands of badminton
players.14 registered badminton players between the ages of 11 and 14, who have
been playing badminton for at least 5 years and practicing at least 5 days a
week, have participated in this study. The muscle volumes of the participants
were determined through an MR (1.5 T Philips Achieva Netherlands) device. The
T1 weighed MR images of 5 mm section thickness of dominant and non-dominant
deltoid and biceps muscle volumes of the participants were obtained, and the
lines were drawn at each section at the work station of the related muscle and
the sectional area was calculated. The muscle volume was obtained by
multiplying the resulting sectional area by the section thickness (Cavalieri
principle). Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the data obtained in
this study.It was observed that the dominant deltoid muscle volumes of the
players were more than their non-dominant muscle volumes (p<0.01). Dominant
and non-dominant biceps muscle volumes of the players were analyzed and it was
observed that the dominant biceps muscle volumes of the players were more than
their non-dominant biceps muscle volumes (p<0.01).Dominant hand grip
strength values were found to be higher than non-dominant hand (p<0.01).It
was consequently observed that the dominant biceps and deltoid muscle volumes
and the dominant grip strength values were higher of badminton players than
non-dominant side.These results suggest that the badminton players should also
focus on exercises for improving the non-dominant side of their
bodies.Otherwise, it can lead to muscle imbalance and injury.
