The Effect of the Training Process on the Stability and Mobility of the Locomotor System

Abstract

The assessment of the locomotor system functionality is of great importance for both athletes and those not doing any kind of sport. It is assumed that a structured physical activity has a number of positive effects to the locomotor system. The study included 31 samples that are active athletes and 25 samples not involved in any kind of training process. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the training process on the functional stability and mobility of the locomotor system. The results indicate that there is a significant statistical difference in four analyzed variables: hurdle step (χ2=7,52; p=0,02), active straight leg raise (χ2=9,65; p=0,01), trunk stability push up (χ2=9,81; p=0,01) and rotatory trunk stability (χ2=11,63; p=0,00) in favor of the athlete group.
