Disorders of the musculoskeletal system and muscular dysbalance in volleybal female players in different age categories

The bachelor thesis is focused on disorders of the musculoskeletal sytem and muscular dysbalance in volleyball female players. The topic of the work is very current. It deals with the influence of volleyball on the musculoskeletal system, what types of injuries are most often at volleyball players. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part defines the injuries, acute and chronic, which occur injuries are typical for volleyball. Also the muscular dysbalances in volleyball are described, which volleyball as a one-sided sport causes and I described the basic characteristics of compensatory exercise. The aim of the work is to find out and describe what musclar dysbalances and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system occur at volleyball players and in which age these dysbalances begin to manifest most. Another goal of the practical part was to originate a set of compensatory exercises based on the research results. A quantitative type of research is used to carry out the research part of the bachelor thesis. An information was obtained from each player, kinesiological analysis and examination of shortened and weakened muscles was performed. The research group consists of 48 girls playing for the volleyball club SK Hlincovka. According to age, players are divided into six age categories (preparation, younger pupils, older pupils, cadets, juniors and women). The results are processed into tables and according to them a compensatory exercise is designed. Through research, it was found out what musclar dysbalances and musculoskeletal disorders affect volleyball players, in which age the greatest progression of muscle imbalance occurs. The work can be used by physiotherapists and especially volleyball coaches as an aid to the correct not only stretching of players. The results show that volleyball has a negative effect on the upright posture of players. Weakening and shortening of certain muscles or muscle groups results in the creation of muscle imbalances. The players suffer from chronic pain, especially of the cervical and lumbar spine. The greatest progression of muscle imbalances was at the turn of the age category of older pupils and cadets. I attribute this increase in musclar dysbalance to the acceleration of body growth during puberty. According to the results of the examination, I suggested a compensatory exercise that should help the players with their problems
