Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify relationships between endurance of periscapular muscle, anaerobic performance and agility in professional athletes. Methods: 70 professional basketball, volleyball, and handball players (male: 25 female: 45 age 20.41±5.72, BMI: 21.70±2.51) were included to this study. Anaerobic performance was assessed with vertical jump test. Periscapular muscles endurance was evaluated using scapular muscle endurance test and agility was measured hexagonal obstacle test. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical software SPSS 22. Results: Spearman correlation analysis results showed that there was positive significant correlation between anaerobic performance and endurance of periscapular muscles (p<0.05 r=0.341). A negative significant relationship was demonstrated between anaerobic performance and agility (p<0.05 r=-0.332), and between agility and endurance of periscapular muscles (p<0.05 r=-0.334). Discussion: The scapula acts as an axis, transmitting the power and high energy of the lower extremities and trunk to the upper extremities. The muscles surrounding the scapula provide proximal stability for the upper extremity and act as a fix while the distal part is moving. When weakness of scapular musculature has occurred, normal scapular positioning and mechanics may be altered. Therefore, scapular stabilization failure may lead to poor anaerobic performance. These results indicate that periscapular muscle endurance affects anaerobic and agility performance in sports.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify relationships between core endurance, scapular muscle endurance and pectoralis minor length in athletes. Methods: 69 professional athletes in different branches (44 men, 25 women, mean age 20.41±5.72, height 176.0±0.1, and weight 68.2±12.8) were included to this study. Pectoralis minor length was measured in supine. In this position linear distance from treatment table to posterior aspect of the acromion was measured. Core endurance was evaluated using Mcgill Core Endurance Tests. Scapular muscle endurance was assessed with scapular endurance test. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical software SPSS. Results: Spearman correlation analysis results showed that there was correlation between pectoralis minor length and scapular muscle endurance (r=0.281, p<0.05). A positive correlation was found between pectoralis minor length and core endurance (r= 0.517, p<0.05). There was correlation between scapular muscle endurance and core endurance (r=0.524, p<0.05). Conclusions: In this study, it was shown that there were statistically significant relationship between pectoralis minor length, scapular muscle endurance and core endurance. Pectoralis minor length affects scapula biomechanics. Change in scapula biomechanics may cause reduction in scapular muscle endurance. It may affect core endurance via kinetic chain. Therefore, it can be suggested pectoralis minor stretching should be integrated to normal sports specific training programmes in professional athletes.

This study analyzed the relationship between anthropometric measures, cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, power, and local muscle endurance with performance in the CrossFit® Open 2020. For this, 17 volunteers (6 women) (29.0 ± 7.2 years) completed, on separate weeks, tests for body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), maximal oxygen consumption (2 km row test), muscle strength (one repetition maximum (1 RM) back and front squat, isometric peak torque), muscle power (1 RM snatch and clean and jerk) and muscle endurance (Tibana test), which were compared with performance during the CrossFit® Open 2020. Specific tests of localized muscular endurance and muscle strength had the strongest relationship with performance in the CrossFit® Open 2020. On the other hand, the percentage of fat and cardiorespiratory capacity were not significantly correlated with CrossFit® Open 2020 workout performance. Coaches and practitioners should therefore utilize these findings to assess physical fitness and organize the distribution of the training session based on less developed physical needs, in order to ensure an appropriate physiological adaptation for a given competition.

Objective: The study examines the relationship between Functional Movement Screening (FMS) tests with fitness factors in female athlete students. Methods: The study population includes 30 female athlete students (Mean±SD of age: 23.36±3.10; height: 163.45±5.06; and 57.40±6.43). FMS test was used for measuring movement patterns. Sargent test was used to measure lower limb power, Y-test was used to measure dynamic balance, Stork test was used to measure static balance, and flexor/extensor muscle endurance tests were also used to measure trunk muscle endurance. In addition, Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the relationship between scores of functional motion screening and fitness factors. Multivariate regression was used to solve the linear regression equation. The data analyzed in SPSS software, V. 22 at significance level of P≥0.05. Results: Our results showed no significant relationship between FMS test with fitness factors (P>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between total score of FMS test with fitness factors. It seems that FMS addresses the quality of basic motor activities while fitness factors determine sport skills; thus, FMS scores can’t explain fitness factors.
