Effect of Soccer Foot Pressure on Pressure Distributions

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of playing soccer for a long time in for professional soccer players regarding sole pressure. Despite the increasing prevalence of new methods developed in the footpad pressure measurement in recent years, our knowledge about pressure distribution of the footplate is still insufficient, especially for sportsmen (Ford et al., 2006). Plantar pressure analysis system (EMED-SF) was used in the study. Statistically significant differences between the study groups were examined using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. According to the results of the research, there was no statistical difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of physical characteristics. However, significant results were found at (0.01-0.05) level in the beginning and grand total of heel medial, heel lateral, 1,2,3,4,5 metatars in the maximal force comparisons applied to the right and left foot contact area and the floor.

With the purpose of determining the observed angular widths of the active right arm\s shoulder and elbow joints in the basic bow movements while playing the violin, 11 subjects were randomly selected to carry out an experimental study. In the research, “goniometer” and a standart complete violin and bow were used to collect the data. Mean, standard deviation and range of these collected data were determined. Within which angular widths shoulder and elbow joints moved in two parts of the bow in the basic bow movements was identified quantitatively and these findings were compared to the movement properties of the joints. This research suggests doing similar studies to “establish the assessable physical bases” of the body structures used in playing, which determines in a sense the playing quality.
