| Abstract [eng] |
In the work the theoretical analysis of the impact of a spinal stabilization programme on isometric muscle power and power balance is performed. Testing method was used for the research aiming to evaluate patients’ isometric power balance of separate muscle groups while attending short-term spinal stabilization programmes. Statistical (descriptive frequencies, averages, x2 test) data analysis was performed. 15 patients attending short-term spinal stabilization programmes (once a week 1 hour a day) and 23 patients with no applied impact, i.e. patients did not attend any spinal stabilization programme and were not engaged in any sporting activity, participated in the research. In the empirical part the adults’, who either attend or not short-term spinal stabilization programmes, separate muscle group isometric power and balance indices before and after a three-month research as well as their dependence on the level of physical activity are analysed. The most important conclusions of empirical research: 1. After having evaluated patients’ separate muscle group isometric power balance, it became clear that at an average 44.1 per cent of the respondents feature extremely poor muscle power balance from all the subjects. The largest muscle power balance disorder was observed measuring waist extensor and flexor muscle power balance. Difference of measurement between the different research groups and separate muscle group isometric power balance is statistically insignificant. 2. Difference of measurement of separate muscle group isometric power between patients either attending or not short-term spinal stabilization programmes is statistically insignificant. 3. The differences in the measurements between current and recommended separate muscle group isometric power are not statistically significant. Relationship between the measured variables is strong and very strong (p<0.01; p<0.05). Thus one cannot state that cause of separate muscle group isometric power balance disorders is insufficient isometric muscle power. |
