Abstract
Background and purpose: "Kabaddi, a relatively new sport, involves intense physical interactions between players. As attackers try to catch opponents or evade defenders, the risk of injury increases. Notably, the muscles connected to the scapula play a crucial role in maintaining its position. Any alteration in the function of these muscles can lead to abnormal biomechanics within the shoulder group. Scapular dyskinesia, characterized by abnormal scapular positioning and movement, can result from these biomechanical changes. In our study, we aimed to compare scapular dyskinesia between novice and elite Kabaddi players. Method: Our research followed a causal-comparative design, implemented in the field. The statistical population consisted of 80 Kabaddi players, divided into two groups: elite Kabaddi players (40 individuals) and beginner Kabaddi players (40 individuals). The criteria for entering the research include: being in the age range of 16-25 years, having a BMI of 24.5-18.5, having more than 3 years of sports experience in this field, not having a history of surgery in the last six months, and the exit criterion: not being satisfied with the continuation of the participation. In research, getting infected with infectious diseases during the period of the research process is like Corona. The minimum sample size in each group was estimated to be 36 people in each group using G Power version 3.1.9.2 software (error level = 0.05, test power = 0.90, effect size = 0.7). Findings: we found no significant difference in scapular dyskinesia between elite and beginner Kabaddi players (P>0.05). conclusion: despite the high mechanical pressure on the shoulder girdle and scapula during Kabaddi exercises, scapular dyskinesia did not significantly develop over time in Kabaddi players.
