Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la asociación entre el entrenamiento de atletas con las características de cada pie. Se midieron y compararon las huellas plantares de tres grupos de deportistas (28 velocistas, 29 fondistas, 47 nadadores) y de 67 sujetos no entrenados (GC). Para la captura de parámetros plantares se empleó una plataforma de escaneado podálico Podoscanalycer®. El índice podálico, metatarsal, medio podálico, y calcáneo fue inferior en GC respecto a corredores de velocidad, fondo, y nadadores (p<0.001). El riesgo relativo de tener un pie cavo o un tipo de pié específico por pertenecer a una determinada modalidad atlética no resulto significativo (todos p>0.05). Se concluye que los años de entrenamiento y la edad en atletas españoles no se asocian significativamente con la curvatura y tipología del pie ni sobre ningún índice plantar específico. Sin embargo, sexo e IMC se asocia significativamente con los índices plantares según la modalidad atlética.

The aim of the present study was to determine the association between athletic training and characteristics of each foot. Plantar foot print of three groups of athletes (28 sprinters, 29 distance runners, 47 swimmers) and 67 sedentary subjects (CG) were measured and compared. A scanning platform breech Podoscanalyzer was employed to obtain plantar pressure measurements. The breech, metatarsal, middle breech, and calcaneus index, were lower in CG compared to sprinters, long-distance runners, and swimmers (p<0.001). The relative risk of having a cavus foot or any specific type of foot as a result of practicing a particular athletic discipline was not significant (all p>0.05). We conclude that the years of training and the age are not significantly associated neither with the curvature and the type of the foot nor with any specific plantar arch index in Spanish athletes. Nevertheless, sex and BMI are significantly associated with the plantar arch indexes according to the athletic discipline.
