Summary

This study; will be conducted to investigate the effect of quadriceps muscle fatigue on static and dynamic balance in regular physical activity individuals and sedentary individuals. International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Mini BESTest, Modified Borg Scale questionnaire and acute muscle fatigue protocol will be applied and Y balance Test, Flamingo Balance Test, Tecnobody Balance Measurement, EMG measurement, anthropometric measurements and digital dynamometer measurements will be made.

Detailed description

Determining the dynamic or static balance of the person will enable us to determine the effect of physical activity levels on the balance in relation to muscle strength and provide us with information about the balance of the person and will give us workable data. Through to these data, we get information about whether the person's level of physical activity is at the desired level. If not, the exercises to be done to reach the desired level or the way the rehabilitation processes to be applied give us important clues in terms of choosing the methods to be applied and determining the direction in which the order will be. If the balance of the person is at the desired level, these data provide us with a great deal of convenience and guide the preservation of this balance. Knowing the balance data in line with the results to be obtained with this study and using the tests or devices designed in this direction will increase the success of the rehabilitation process and constitute the most important part of the performance increase in physical activity levels. In case of successful completion of the project, sedentary participants will turn to physical activity to increase their balance. Participants will reduce the risk of falling by increasing their balance by doing physical activity. Therefore, our study will be conducted to investigate the effect of quadriceps muscle fatigue on static and dynamic balance in regular physical activity individuals and sedentary individuals. Following the approval off the ethics committee, a study will be conducted with 32 regular physical activity individuals and 32 sedentary individuals. The study will start with the approval of the ethics committee and is planned to be completed in May 2022, within 4 months. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria and voluntarily accepted to participate in the study will be administered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Mini BESTest, Modified Borg Scale questionnaire and acute muscle fatigue protocol will be applied and Y balance Test, Flamingo Balance Test, Tecnobody Balance Measurement, EMG measurement, anthropometric measurements and digital dynamometer measurements will be made to both regular physical activity individuals and sedentary individuals.

Conditions

• Muscle Fatigue

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Survey	International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-Short Form ,Anthropometric Measurements and Evaluation Body Weight and Height, Electromyogram (EMG), Digital Dynamometer measurement ,Static Balance Measurements ,Dynamic Balance Measurements ,Tecnobody Balance Measurement , Mini-Balance Evaluation (MiniBESTest) Systems Test ,Y Balance Test ,Flamingo Balance Test ,Modified Borg Scale.
DEVICE	Treadmill	Participants will sign a consent form approved by the ethics committee.Before data collection, height, weight, circumference measurements, leg length, thigh area subcutaneous fat measurement, heart rate, blood pressure and saturation values will be recorded. Before the muscle fatigue protocol, the muscle strength, balance assessment and fatigue of the participants will be evaluated. The muscle fatigue protocol will be done with a treadmill. At the end of the muscle fatigue protocol, the necessary evaluations will be made again and the participants will be rested.
