metatarsal and %48,84 in left foot big toe lower in the professional athletes (Uzun et al.,
2015). At least played football for 10 years 18 when healthy individuals with professional
female footballer pressure integral is examined in another study, the right foot total, 2 and 3,
left the sum of the metatarsal heads, heel medial heel lateral, 2, 3. 4th and 5th metatarsal
heads in significant levels in the control group the average value of the players is reported to
be lower (Uzun, Aydos, Kaya, Kanatli, & Esen, 2013a). Similarly, athletes in ice hockey
when the pressure in the study of integral average values was higher in the experimental
group compared to the control group (Uzun, Aydos, Kaya, Kanatli, & Esen, 2013b). It
appears to be parallel to the results of studies of the existing literature. Studies in the Horon
played by individuals with sedentary lifestyle changes in the significant level statistically the
parameters of plantars when the pressure integral and individuals who played Horon were
found to have lower values. Lower pressure out of time integrals of Horon players is
expected. In particular, high-tempo played by male individuals as a characteristic feature of
the foot contact with the ground the player Horon game very quickly and seems to be cut off
contact with the ground. This can be explained with the result that lead to shorter reaction
times in the remaining games of the exercise carried out for many years on the floor of the
foot.
According to the results of the study, in the comparisons of age, height, body weight,
body mass index and peak pressure total in right and left foot, average maximal pressure and
time pressure integral, a linear and positive relationship is found except between age and
right-left foot peak pressure total, left foot average pressure total and right-left foot time
pressure integral and between height and right foot time pressure integral and average
maximal pressure total (0,01 and 0,05). When the literature is investigated, it is observed in a
study performed on obese and non-obese individuals, a positive relationship between total
plantar force and total contact area and body mass index and besides also in studies performed
in basketball, volleyball, wrestling, ice hockey, athletics and football a positive and direct
relationships are found and these studies are supporting this study. (Birtane & Tuna, 2004;
Aydos, 2011; Uzun, 2012; Kaya et al., 2012; Aydos, 2013; Uzun et al., 2015).
Folk dances which are the heritage of the traditional culture is a wealth in which
anonymous folk music and movements are incorporated and transmitted from generation to
generation. Horon dance is one of the most fastest and up-tempo dance played by male
individuals among the folk dances. For reaching the elite level in the folk dance one must
practice for long years and besides develop his coordinative skills.
The alterations in peak pressure, average maximal pressure and pressure time integral
parameters between the plantar regions of the individuals who play horon in an elite level is
determined. Especially long term usage of special dance shoes which are interpreted as
sandals may affect the plantar pressure alterations and especially may lead differences in toe
areas. We have the opinion of the usage of orthopedically supported shoes in the practices and
usage of special based shoes in the shows will be more useful. It can be said that, during the
manufacturing of the folk dance related shoes, ergonomic design specific for this branch
might be designed taking in the consideration of pressure distribution differences.
