Fortalecimiento de la musculatura estabilizadora de cadera en la etapa de preparación inicial de los deportistas de balonmano playa de la selección de Ecuador.

Abstract

Several injuries affect the performance of beach handball athletes and according to studies, strengthening the hip muscles will provide more stability and strength and help prevent them. Objective: To demonstrate the benefits of strengthening of the hip stabilizing muscles to improve the translation of beach handball athletes. Materials and methods: The study has a quantitative approach, with an experimental and longitudinal design, a sample of 30 athletes, the pre and post-treatment evaluations with the different tests and the hip stabilizer muscle strengthening plan will allow us to obtain a comparative database. Results: Daniels test the pre-evaluation with 4.47° in women(W) and 4.2° in men(M), gluteus maximus in 4.6°(W), in the hamstrings with 4.33°(W) and 4° in (M), gluteus medius of 4.53°(W), in adductor with 4(W), in quadriceps of 4.33° (W) and (M) increased to 5° and gluteus maximus 4. 27° to 4.93°, gluteus medius 4.13° to 4.86° left(L) and right(R) to 4.8°, adductor in (M) 2.87°(L) to 4° and from 2.93(R) to 4.06° flexibility 80%(W) flexible and 20% not flexible, have 0%(M), as a result 87% of flexibility improvement in males and females improvement of 100%. Conclusion: It is concluded that the exercise plan designed to increase both strength and flexibility in the pelvic area, provides the necessary stability, allowing the translation of the athletes to be more effective and with adequate balance, thus avoiding future injuries in the lower limb.
