PROTOCOLO DE VALORACIÓN Y DIAGNÓSTICO EN PRACTICANTES DE VOLEIBOL SENTADO

Abstract

The sitting volleyball is one of the sports in the developing world for people in disabling condition . In this field, the analysis of the fitness of athletes has become a priority for most researchers and coaches, being essential to apply "... Biomechanical analysis of sports movements ... (which) provides amplitude parameters and frequency that allows descriptive and comparative studies ". This study search to design a protocol for assessment and diagnosis of fitness and biomechanical behavior for athletes sitting volleyball. Methods: We performed on athletes belonging to Colombia sitting volleyball team. Test and evidence-based measures, which are applied in a pilot test for validation. The fitness test selected are the Bent Arm Hang, the Squat Jump adapted to the upper body, the Shoulder Stretch, lateral trunk flexion, Modified Thomas Test, based on the Manual Brockoport, the Flexitest, the FMS Scoring Criteria validated in person with disability. For study of the biomechanical behavior of the different techniques of sitting volleyball, I include electromyography, kinetic and kinematic analysis, use Opto electronics high accuracy (BTS SMARTDX); wireless electromyography equipment (BTS FREEEMG);Platform P-6000. Results. The tests showed shrinkage test shoulder rotation and lateral flexion of the trunk in the majority of the population, obtaining values ​​FMS 3/3 and 1/4 respectively score Biomechanical analysis allowed determinant of the reaction force, the presence of amputation and alterations trunk stability. Also in electromyography trapezius participation in the initial phase of the technique described, after activation of the deltoid medium and greater pectoral, ending the cycle with the stabilizing muscles of the trunk. The results show that the protocol tests designed not only provide insight into the fitness level of each athlete, but also muscle behavior at the time of execution of the technique and the biomechanical pattern upper body that is expressed throughout the cycle. This protocol a proposal for comprehensive evaluation of each athlete that provides enhanced performance practitioner sitting volleyball.
