BACKGROUND:
Achilles tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disorder with various pathological manifestations in
both athletes and non-athletes1,2. It is an overweight injury characterized by localized progressive pain and
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effectiveness of concentric exercises versus balance
exercises in preventing Achilles tendinopathy on healthy footballers/runners and in a healthy living
RESULTS:
In this prospective study was analyzed 4th articles to prevent Achilles tendinopathy (Table 2). This results providing
the existing knowledge of types of exercises in treatment Achilles tendinopathy in healthy participants. dysfunction3. The
frequency of Achilles tendon injury is estimated to be 30-50% of
all sports population.
METHODS:
There is no statistically significant difference in efficacy between concentric and balance exercises in the
prevention injuries, 50% between athletes running and 6% in sedentary lives4,5. The etiology of Achilles' tendinopathy is multi
factorial and is due to both extrinsic and insistric injury factors6,7. Treatment of tendinopathy usually consists of conservative
physiotherapeutic treatment and surgical treatment8 .However, basic therapy is kinesiotherapy, both in rehabilitation and
prevention8.
REFERENCES:
Researchwill be conducted through the electronic databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, MEDLINE and Proquest.
The search will be limited to English articles.The study will be randomly sampled from the county of Argolida, Greece. A sample
of 60 people over 18 years old will be taken by men and women footballers and runners, as well as 30 people from the general
population. The evaluation of the sample will be done if crash diaries are provided to each participant where each participant
has to record daily injuries or annoyance on the Achilles tendon. Also, the strength will be measured with the maximum
repeat (RM), the ankles motion range with a simple goniometer, and the muscular activity of electromyography (EMG)
gastrocnemius. Chi-square and exact Fisher test for nominal data on Achilles tendon injury are used and the descriptive data
will be calculated with mean and standard deviation. ANOVA analysis and Correlation analysis with the Pearson correlation
coefficient for the relationship between exercise and occurrence groups of tendinopathy and equilibrium exercise groups in
relation with the occurrence of tendiopathy will be used. The level of statistical significance will be set at P <0.05. Finally,
SPSS, version 20 for Windows, will be implemented. The
intervention protocol contains a warm-up program for
the Achilles tendons for all three groups and then each group will receive the specialized exercise program for 9 months
and 4 times a week. of
Achilles' tendinopathy in healthy footballers, runners and in a healthy living population.
The importance of the problem is to include the most effective exercise in the prevention of Achilles' tendinopathy in athletes
and in the healthy living population. This will reduce the incidence of Achilles tendon injury to healthy footballers, runners
and the sedentary peoples of the population. For the creation of the present research proposal, the condition is the approval of
the Ethics Committee of Greece
CONCLUSION
: The creation of this prospective study will find the effectiveness of concerted exercises against equilibrium
exercises in preventing Achilles tennisopause in healthy footballers / runners and in a healthy population of living.
