Özet

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the pes planus vertical jump height and muscle activation in gymnasts. Forty-four gymnasts (mean age, 12.47±4.34 years) were included in the study. Pes planus was evaluated using a podoscope. Muscle activation was measured with a surface electromyography device during maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and vertical jump test. Vertical jump height was evaluated using a contact mat. There was no significant difference in MVIC values of gastrocnemius medialis (GM), soleus (S), peroneus longus (PL), tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of gymnasts with and without pes planus (GM p=0.526; S p=0.157; PL p=0.696; TA p=0.223). In athletes with pes planus, GM muscle in rising phase of vertical jump; in the landing phase, the activation of the GM and S muscles was found to be lower (GMrising phase p=0.004; GMlanding phase p=0.014; Slanding phase p=0.017). In conclusion, it was found that the pes planus had no effect on vertical jump and MVIC values. It was observed that the activation of GM and S muscles was low during vertical jump in gymnasts with pes planus.
