简要总结
This study is about understanding how leg muscles work in Kabaddi players who have Achilles tendon injuries. Kabaddi is a fast and physically demanding sport that includes running, lunging, jumping, and changing direction quickly. These movements put a lot of stress on the ankle and calf area, especially on the Achilles tendon. Because of this, many players suffer from Achilles tendon pain or injury.
When the Achilles tendon is injured, it does not work properly. This affects nearby muscles like the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and soleus. These muscles may start working differently to protect the injured area. Sometimes, they work harder or slower than normal, which can reduce performance and increase the risk of getting injured again.
In this study, surface electromyography (sEMG) will be used to record muscle activity during Kabaddi movements such as lunges and single-leg squats. Players with Achilles injuries will be compared with healthy players.
The study will be done in Gurugram University on Kabaddi players aged 18 to 35 years. By studying muscle activity, the research aims to find abnormal movement patterns.
The results will help physiotherapists and coaches design better rehabilitation and training programs. This will help players recover safely, improve performance, and reduce future injuries.
