- Abstract
The aim of this study is the analyze of patella femoral (q) angle’s correlation between leg strength and balance in athletes with different genders. 50 female and 75 male athletes, average of age 20,120±,961, who are receiving education in departments related to Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Faculty of Sports Science in total 125 regularly practicing and participating in sports competitions athletes voluntarily took part in. Stature, weight, Q angle, medial condyle and medial malleolus space, dynamic balance, leg strength and flexibility values of the participants in the study research study group have been carried out respectively. Comparison of Q angles, balance, strength and flexibility values according to gender has been conducted with t test in SPSS program, Q angle values of the athletes’ relationship with age, stature, weight and fitness age, with Pearson Correlation Test, it is analyzed that if there’s a relationship between position right-left feet Q angle values in standing& supine position and medial condyle, medial malleolus, balance values, leg strength, flexibility and relative strength values. It is determined that there is a significant difference between left foot Q angles in standing& supine position and right foot Q angles in standing& supine position, and relative strength and medial condyle angles when considered Q angle values of the participants according to gender (p<0,01). It is determined that there is a significant negative correlation between female athletes’ supine position right and left feet Q angle value and fitness age. There is a significant negative correlation between age, medial malleolus, weight and medial condyle, as well (p<0,05). It is determined that while there is a positive correlation between female athletes’ both standing & supine positions and both legs Q angles; there is a negative correlation between balance and relative strength values. It is seen that there is a significant negative correlation between balance values and standing left leg Q angle and Q angle in both legs in supine position but in male athletes although it is determined that there is a significant negative correlation between Q angles of both legs in standing & supine positions, in general balance values has a negative correlation with Q angle values. Briefly in this study, it is determined that there is a decrease in leg strength and balance value of the female and male athletes with high Q angle values and it is taught that Q angles affect leg strength and balance performance.
