Use of physiotherapy in the prevention and correction of muscle imbalance among mountain bikers
UŠATÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibility of using physiotherapy in the prevention and correction of muscle imbalances in field cyclists. Off-road cycling is increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. Not only for the general public but also for the competitors, unilateral loading without adequate compensation. Muscular dysbalance leads to increased risk of injuries and muscle damage. The first theoretical part deals with anatomy and kinesiology of the lower limbs. Further, the theoretical part is focused on the description of the correct setting of the wheel, the starting position and, last but not least, the distribution of muscle imbalances. The practical part of the thesis was elaborated by the method of qualitative research. The tracked group was three cyclists. The research was developed on the basis of comparisons of case studies, including the taking of anamnestic probanda data using a controlled interview, initial kinesiological analysis, a short-term therapeutic plan, the course of individual therapies, followed by output kinesiological analysis, and a long-term therapeutic plan. Therapy lasted 6 weeks with incliding each proband twice a week. Within the therapy there were used soft tissue techniques, mobilization, fine traction, joint centrifugation, postisometric contraction, stretching and breathing exercises, activation of deep stabilization system, back school elements, knee stabilization exercises, sensomotor stimulation, Brunkow exercises, MS exercises System, DNS exercises. The aim of the work was to approach the problem of overload of the locomotive apparatus in field cyclists from the point of view of physiotherapy and to outline the possibilities of specific methods for prevention, restoration and improvement of muscular balance of individual muscles and muscle groups.
