ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, futbolcu ve sedanterlerde, kas kuvveti ile lomber vertebra (L1-L4) ve femur bölgesi kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY), T ve Z skorları karşılaştırılarak aralarındaki ilişkinin, cinsiyete göre nasıl bir değişim gösterdiği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmaya, düzenli futbol antrenmanı yapan kadın ve erkekler ile benzer fiziksel özelliklere sahip sedanter kadın ve erkeler dâhil edilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, 18-25 yaş grubu futbolcu kadın ve erkekler ile aynı yaş grubundaki sedanter kadın ve erkekler olmak üzere toplam 80 birey, gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen bireylerin el kavrama, sırt ve bacak kuvvetleri ölçümünden sonra, KMY ölçümleri için lomber omur (L1, L2, L3, L4) ve femur bölgesi KMY, T ve Z skorları ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Bireylerin kuvvet parametreleri ile KMY'ye ait T ve Z skorları arasındaki ilişkilerin araştırılmasında, çok boyutlu ölçeklendirme analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular: Lomber vertebra (L1-L4) bölgesi ile femur boynunda, KMY tüm gruplarda futbolcuların lehine anlamlı bulunmuştur. Ancak grup ve cinsiyet farkı gözetmeksizin tüm gruplarda, ölçülen kuvvet parametreleri ile KMY (T ve Z skorları), çok boyut ölçeklendirme analizine göre T ve Z skorlarında el kavrama kuvveti ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Kuvvet değerlerinin futbolcularda daha iyi olduğu, ancak lomber ve femur bölgesi KMY'ye ait T ve Z skorları kuvvet arasındaki ilişkinin cinsiyet ve gruplara göre farklılık göstermediği tespit edilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Futbolcu; kas kuvveti; kemik mineral yoğunluğu
ABSTRACT
 Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between muscle strength and bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebra (L1-L4) and femur region in football players and sedentaries according to gender by comparing T and Z scores. The study included boys and girls with regular football training and sedentary boys and woman with similar physical characteristics. Material and Methods: A total of 80 individuals, who are 18-25 yearold football player woman and boys, and sedentary woman and boys in the same age group, participated in the study voluntarily. Following the measurement of hand grip, back and leg strength of individuals who were included in the study, lumbar vertebra (L1, L2, L3, L4) and femur region BMD, T and Z scores were measured for BMD measurements. Multidimensional scaling analysis technique was used to investigate the relationships between T and Z scores of individuals regarding strength parameters and BMD. Results: It was found that strength values were better in football players, but the relationship between T and Z scores of BMD in lumbar and femur regions did not differ according to gender and groups. Conclusion: BMD in the lumbar spine (L1-L4) region and femoral neck were significant in favour of footballers in all group. According to the strength parameters and BMD (T and Z scores) multidimensional scaling analysis measured in all groups regardless of group and gender differences, T and Z scores were found to be more related to hand grip strength in.
