Amaç: Kadın ve erkek voleybol sporcularında diz eklemi fleksör ve ekstansör kaslarının kuvveti ve kuvvet dengesinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız, 18 birinci lig voleybol sporcusu ile gerçekleştirildi. Sporcuların izokinetik kas kuvveti IsoMed 2000 izokinetik dinamometre ile 60°/sn ve 180°/sn açısal hızlarda konsantrik-konsantrik olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Kadın ve erkek sporcuların 60°/sn ve 180°/sn açısal hızlarda; dominant taraf diz eklemi fleksör ve ekstansör kaslarının zirve kuvvet ve rölatif zirve kuvvet değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu ve kadın sporcuların erkek sporculara göre daha zayıf olduğu belirlendi. Kadın ve erkek sporcuların 60°/sn ve 180°/sn açısal hızlarda fleksör ve ekstansör kas kuvvet oranının dominant tarafta birbirine benzer olduğu, dominant olmayan tarafta biribirinden farklı olduğu ve kadın sporcularda bu oranın daha fazla olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda, kadın voleybol sporcularının erkek voleybol sporcularına göre daha zayıf olduğu, kas kuvvet dengesinin her iki cinsiyette ve her iki açısal hızda normal kabul edilen sınırlar içerisinde olduğu bulundu. Literatürde var olan, kadın sporcuların erkek sporculara göre diz bölgesindeki yaralanma oranının daha fazla olmasının nedenlerinden biri, kadın sporcuların kas kuvvetinin daha az olması sonucu ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Ancak, kas kuvvet dengesi çok önemli bir ayraç olmayabilmektedir.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the strength and strength balance of the knee joint flexor and extensor muscles in female and male volleyball players. Material and Methods: Our study was performed with 18 first league volleyball players. The isokinetic muscle strength of the athletes was evaluated with IsoMed 2000 isokinetic dynamometer as concentric-concentric at 60°/sec and 180°/sec angular velocity. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between peak torque and relative peak torque values of flexor and extensor muscles of dominant side of male and female athletes at 60°/sec and 180°/sec angular velocities and female athletes were found to be weaker than male athletes. It was found that the flexor and extensor muscle strength ratios of the dominant side of the female and male athletes at of 60°/sec and 180°/s angular velocities were similar, and this ratio the non-dominant side was different from each other and was higher in female athletes. Conclusion: At the beginning of our study, a female volleyball athlete was found to be weaker than male volleyball athletes, and the balance of muscle strength was determined to be normal in both genders and at the two angular velocity. The fact that female athletes in the literature have higher rate of injury in the knee joint compared to male athletes we thought it may occur the result of weaker muscle strength of female athletes. However, muscle strength balance may not be a very important reagent.
