This study aims to compare the spinal curvatures of
Badminton, Boxing, Table Tennis, Athletics and Taekwondo athletes in the sagittal
plane. The study included a total of 58 athletes aged 13-15, who has at least 2
years of active sports: Athletics (mid[1]distance
runner 12), Badminton (10), Boxing (11), Table tennis (15) and Taekwondo (10).
Spinal curvatures of the subjects in the sagittal plane in vertical stance,
trunk forward flexion and back extension positions, Sagittal thorax (ST),
Sagittal lumbar (SL), Sagittal sacrum (SS) values were measured by using the
Spinal Mouse device. According to the measurements, a statistically significant
correlation was obtained in all branches of body weight and height in
Badminton, Taekwondo, Athletics, Table tennis and Boxing (p <0.05). As a
result of the comparisons made for Spinal Mouse measurements, there was no
statistically significant difference in ST1, SL2 and SL3 values between
Badminton, Taekwondo, Athletics, Table tennis and Boxing branches (p> 0.05).
A statistically significant difference was found in SL1, SS1, ST2, SS2, ST3 and
SS3 values (p <0.05). As a result; It is concluded that the spinal
curvatures of different sportsmen in the sagittal plane in vertical stance
(anatomical stance) are different from the norm values and it is concluded that
there is a difference between branches in flexion and extension position.
