Özet

The study aims to analyze the presence of musculus psoas minor through axial magnetic resonance imaging obtained from national weightlifting athletes. The study included 12 men and 12 women national weightlifting athletes having trained regularly and participated in national and international tournaments. Axial imaging from the 12 th thoracic vertebrae to the trochanter minor of femur was taken by using 1.5 Tesla magnetic imaging device. In our study including 24 athlete participants in total, we found out that the muscle is generally present on double sides of 29.16%, on the right side only of 8.33% and on the left side only of 8.33% of the participants. The muscle was not present on 54.16% of the participants. As a result, we conclude that the absence of musculus psoas minor in weightlifting athletes may be considered as a disadvantage factor for athletic skills. © 2018 by authors, all rights reserved.
