EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF VERY HEAVY EXERCISE ON MUSCLE ACTIVITY BY TENSIOMYOGRAPHY IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Aim: This study was carried out to investigate the changes in muscle contraction parameters after very heavy exercise in professional football players with Tensiomyography, which is a non-invasive method. Method: Professional licensed football players in the A team of the team they play in the Turkish Super League (n = 11), whose age is 27.27 ± 1.55 years, weight is 74.82 ± 1.83kg, and height is 178.1 ± 1.76cm. participated. Tensiomyography measurements are bilateral m. The first measurement was taken from the rectus femoris muscle before heavy exercise (MET = 11) and the second measurement after it. In the measurements made, the muscle; Contraction time (Tc), maintenance time (Ts), relaxation time (Tr), displacement (Dm), lag time (Td) and contraction velocity (Vc) were evaluated. GraphPad Prism 9.0 program was used to analyze the data. Results: In the measurements made, a statistically significant decrease was observed in Dm, Td and Vc values in the right and left extremities compared to the 1st and 2nd measurements (p
