The effect of rehabilitation exercises in improving the muscle strength of those with a partial tear in the posterior thigh muscle for Karbala football club players

Abstract

Sports rehabilitation is the important factor in rehabilitating function, motor performance, and normal appearance after injury. It helps the injured person to regain functional ability in the shortest possible time and to the highest functional level and protects the injured organ from recurrence of the injury. The importance of the research lies in the fact that these exercises have a positive effect in restoring the functions of the organ by improving muscle strength and reducing the degree of pain, as partial tear injury occurs in most athletes because they are more susceptible to friction. The researchers found, during the field tour in the physical therapy centers, that the injured there are subjected to methods treatment does not serve the injured, and the exercises used are repetitive and traditional, so the researchers prepared rehabilitative exercises to rehabilitate those with partial tear in the posterior femoral muscle and to identify the effect of rehabilitative exercises in improving muscle strength and reducing the degree of pain for the injured players. The researchers used a one-group experimental design with two pre- and post-tests. The appropriate sample and the nature of the problem were chosen in terms of goals and hypotheses. A sample of players with partial ruptures was chosen. The researchers prepared rehabilitation exercises that were presented to experts and specialists in the field of sports medicine. The pre-test was conducted, then apply rehabilitation exercises to achieve the desired goal. The number of rehabilitation units was (3) per week on (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday) for a period of (6) weeks, and then the post-test was conducted, as the researchers concluded that the rehabilitation exercises prepared by the researchers had a positive effect in improving muscle strength and reducing the degree of pain in people. Members of the research sample, and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health). The researchers recommended conducting similar research on other injuries and other samples, and adopting rehabilitative exercises in treatment centers.
