ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT OF ACTIVATION OF HIP JOINT ABDUCTORS AND EXTERNAL ROTATORS ON GAIT AND RUNNNING PARAMETERS IN HEALTHY PEOPLE - PILOT STUDY

Many physiotherapists and motor preparation coaches recommend including resistance exercises for the hip joint abductors external rotators in a warm-up. Muscle activation with band is believed to improve positional control of pelvis lower limbs, thus reducing risk musculoskeletal injury during rehabilitation or training proper. The aim this study was assess impact single session on gait running parameters healthy people. involved 54 individuals aged 19-21 years. An experimental group (Group 1) performed set 6 Thera rubber bands, intended activate rotators. A 2) same but without resistance. walking examination Zebris FDM treadmill both groups before after exercises. Both variants produced changes selected (p<0.05). Group 1 revealed an increase step length dominant limb (p<0.05) stride time (p<0.05), cadence Heel pressure also decreased heel force non-dominant 2 increased midfoot limbs Thus, banding exerted effect parameters, which may economy.
