RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TRAINING STRUCTURE AND THE PREVALENCE OF TYPICAL VOLLEYBALL INJURIES

Cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja je ispitati povezanost strukture treninga odbojkašica kadetkinja i nastanka ozljeda koje su karakteristične za odbojku u periodu od zadnjih 5 godina, pri čemu će se analizirati samo ozljede koje su zadobivene na terenu ili su nastale zbog prenaprezanja uslijed bavljenja odbojkom. Metode: Ispitivanje se provelo u 10 ženskih odbojkaških klubova Dalmacije tijekom svibnja i lipnja 2016. godine. Na kadetskom regionalnom prvenstvu Dalmacije predstavnicima svih klubova su podijeljeni upitnici za igračice, obrazac za pristanak roditelja za sudjelovanje djeteta u istraživanju, te zamolba odbojkaškom klubu za odobrenje provedbe znanstvenog istraživanja. Od 13 klubova, ukupno je 10 klubova odgovorilo pozitivno tj. odobrilo provođenje ankete u klubu, a ukupno su 94 igračice ispunile ankete. Kao mjerni instrument koristio se upitnik koji je po prvi puta sastavljen za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Rezultati: Rezultati ovog istraživanja su pokazali da postoji povezanost između tipičnih ozljeda u odbojci i strukture treninga. Pojavnost ozljede šake tako je povezana s ukupnim trajanjem treninga, trajanjem glavnog dijela treninga i treninga s loptama. S druge strane kraće trajanje dijela treninga bez lopte bilo je povezano s povećanim rizikom za nastanak ozljede bolnog ramena. Također je utvrđeno da je subjektivna procjena težine treninga od strane igračica povezana s nastankom ozljede ligamenta koljena, pri čemu su igračice koje su procjenjivale treninge težima bile i češće ozlijeđene. Ukupan broj ozljeda je veći kod igračica koje vremenski dulje treniraju, čiji treninzi u prosjeku traju dulje, te kojima je trajanje glavnog dijela treninga kao i trajanje treninga s loptom dulje. Zaključak: Istraživanje je pokazalo da elementi strukture treninga utječu na pojavu tipičnih ozljeda u odbojci.Research aim: The main aim of this research is to examine the connection between training structure of female cadet volleyball players and specific injuries within the last 5 years. Solely injuries that happened on the court and injuries that are influenced by the overstrain on volleyball trainings are going to be analyzed. Research methods: The survey was conducted with the help of 10 woman’s volleyball clubs in Dalmatia during May and June of 2016. At the Cadet Regional Championship the questionnaires for the players, parental consents for the participation of the child in this study were given to the representatives of all teams. Also, requests for the approval of conducting scientific research were given to the representatives of volleyball clubs. 10 out of 13 teams responded positively, ie. 10 clubs approved the conduction of the survey. A total of 94 players completed the questionnaire. Measuring instrument that was used was first compiled for the purposes of this research. Results: The results of this study showed the existence of connection between typical injuries in volleyball and training structure. The incidence of hand injuries is also linked with the overall duration of volleyball training, duration of the main part of the training and with the part of the training that includes exercises with the ball. On the other hand, the shorter duration of the part of the training without the ball was associated with the increased risk for the injury of painful shoulder. The link was found between subjective assessment of training intensity (which was given by the players themselves) and incidence of knee ligament injuries. The players that assessed trainings more difficult were injured more often. The total number of injuries is higher within the players who are in the process of training for a longer time, whose trainings on average last longer, whose main part of the training lasts longer and also duration of the part with the ball is connected with the number of injuries. Conclusion: The study showed that the elements of the training structure influence the occurrence of typical injuries in volleyball
