Abstract
Kinovea y la prueba de Valoración Funcional del movimiento son dos herramientas ampliamente utilizadas en el ámbito deportivo para evaluar y mejorar el rendimiento físico y la salud de los atletas y personas en general. Kinovea es un software de análisis de video, y al utilizarse de la mano con la prueba FMS proporciona una evaluación precisa y completa de la calidad del movimiento funcional y su aplicación en la prevención de lesiones y el rendimiento deportivo. Actualmente, no existen herramientas validadas capaces de suplir la evaluación visual de la prueba FMS para un análisis detallado de la biomecánica del movimiento, por esta razón se lleva a cabo este estudio. Se seleccionaron 22 participantes de los equipos de voleibol, básquetbol y fútbol para aplicarles cuatro ejercicios de la prueba FMS: sentadilla profunda, elevación activa de la pierna recta, paso de valla y desplante en línea. Estos movimientos fueron grabados y posteriormente analizados en Kinovea para la extracción de datos angulares de las articulaciones de la rodilla, cadera y tobillo. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que Kinovea es una herramienta que puede suplantar la evaluación visual del FMS realizada por los entrenadores, con el fin de obtener resultados más detallados que permitan una evaluación simplificada. Al finalizar la investigación, se asignaron rangos angulares a las puntuaciones establecidas por el FMS, haciendo la evaluación más simple y precisa. Adicionalmente, se observó una correlación débil entre las variables sociodemográficas con los resultados del FMS obtenidos de los participantes, lo que sugiere que existen otros factores que también influyen en la calidad del movimiento en los atletas. Esto subraya la importancia de considerar una variedad de factores al evaluar y mejorar el rendimiento físico de los deportistas.
Kinovea and the Functional Movement Assessment (FMS) test are two tools widely used in the sports field to assess and improve the physical performance and health of athletes and individuals in general. Kinovea is a video analysis software, and when used in conjunction with the FMS test, it provides an accurate and comprehensive assessment of functional movement quality and its application in injury prevention and sports performance. Currently, there are no validated tools capable of replacing the visual assessment of the FMS test for a detailed analysis of movement biomechanics, which is why this study was conducted. Twenty-two participants from volleyball, basketball and soccer teams were selected to perform four exercises of the FMS test: deep squat, active straight leg raise, hurdle step and in-line lunge. These movements were recorded and subsequently analyzed in Kinovea for the extraction of angular data from the knee, hip, and ankle joints. The results demonstrate that Kinovea is a tool that can complement the visual assessment conducted by coaches during the FMS, providing a level of detail that enriches the evaluation. At the end of the research, angular ranges were assigned to the scores established by the FMS, making the evaluation simpler and more accurate. Additionally, a weak correlation was observed between sociodemographic variables with the FMS scores obtained from the participants, suggesting that there are other factors that also influence movement quality in athletes. This underscores the importance of considering a variety of factors when evaluating and improving the physical performance of athletes.
