Merske lastnosti testov dosega sede : diplomsko delo

Hajdarević, Zlata (author), Puh, Urška (mentor), Palma, Polona (co-mentor)

Uvod: Testi dosega sede so namenjeni oceni splošne gibljivosti spodnjega dela hrbta in prožnosti zadnjih stegenskih mišic. Vključujejo gibanje celotnega telesa, zato so lahko rezultati odvisni od antropometričnih lastnosti osebe in sklepne gibljivosti. Najbolj široko uporabljen test za ocenjevanje prožnosti zadnjih stegenskih mišic ter spodnjega dela hrbta je test dosega sede, saj so potrebe po pripomočkih minimalne, postopek je razumljiv in hiter, uporaba pa je enostavna. Obstaja več različic izvedbe testa dosega sede. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil na podlagi pregledanih raziskav ugotoviti merske lastnosti testov dosega sede pri različnih skupinah preiskovancev. Metode dela: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda dela s pregledom in analizo strokovne literature. Literatura je pridobljena s pomočjo podatkovnih zbirk PubMed in CINAHL v angleškem jeziku. Samostojno ali v kombinaciji smo uporabili naslednje ključne besede: hamstring flexibility, criterion-related validity, reliability, sit and reach tests. Rezultati: Na podlagi vključitvenih in izključitvenih meril je bilo izbranih 15 raziskav. Dve raziskavi sta obravnavali zanesljivost testov dosega sede. V 8 raziskavah so ugotavljali kriterijsko veljavnost testov dosega sede. V 5 raziskavah so ugotavljali zanesljivost in veljavnost testov dosega sede. Korelacijski koeficienti so pri vseh različicah testa dosega sede pokazali zelo visoko zanesljivost med preiskovalci in zanesljivost posameznega preiskovalca z razponom (ICC = 0,84–0,99). Rezultati veljavnosti so zelo raznoliki, v večini raziskav (N = 11) je bila povezanost med merjeno in kriterijsko spremenljivko zmerna (r = 0,40–0,69). Zaključek: Glede na pridobljene rezultate smo ugotovili, da imajo vsi testi dosega sede podobne merske lastnosti, vendar z nekoliko boljšo veljavnostjo izstopata test dosega sede s pokrčenimi nogami (r = 0,37–0,82) in njegova različica – modificirani test dosega sede s pokrčenimi nogami (r = 0,50–0,67).

• Title: Measurement properties of sit and reach tests : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: The sit and reach tests are intended to assess overall lower back mobility and hamstring flexibility. Tests involve all body movements and their results may be depended of the anthropometric characteristics of the persons and joint mobility. The sit and reach tests are the most common measurement tools for evaluating hamstring and lower back flexibility because of low availability of their material, their simple and understandable procedures, it is easy to use. There are many variations of sit and reach test. Purpose: The aim of this graduation thesis was to establish the measurement properties of sit-and-reach tests in various populations, on the basis of literature review. Methods: A descriptive method of work with an overview and analysis of professional literature was used. The literature has been found in Englih with electronic database PubMed and CINAHL. Separately or in combinations we used the following keywords: hamstring flexibility, criterion-related validity, reliability, sit and reach tests. Results: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria study included 15 studies. Two studies examined the reliability of sit and reach tests. In 8 studies researchers tested criterion-related validity of sit and reach tests. In 5 studies researchers tested reliability and criterion-related validity of sit and reach tests. Correlation coefficients of reliability showed very high interrater and intrarater reliability with range (ICC = 0,84-0,99). The resuls of criterion-related validity are very variable, in most studies (N = 11) Pearson's correlation (r) results showed moderate values of association between sit and reach tests with hamstring flexibility (r=0,40-0,69). Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, we found that all sit and reach tests have similar measurement properties, but back saver sit and reach test (r = 0,37-0,82) and modified back saver sit and reach test (r = 0,500,67) have a slightly better validity than others.
