Introduction: The relationship between doing physical activity and neglecting activities and inactivity causes overweight. Obesity with orthopedic problems is caused by overloading the musculoskeletal structure. The purpose of this research was to compare the plantar pressure values in obese male teenagers compared to healthy peers during walking.
Methods: The current research was semi-experimental and applied research. Using G-Power software, the minimum sample size of 15 people was estimated for each group. The statistical sample of this research was 30 teenagers from Ardabil province, who were purposefully placed in two groups icluding 15 obese and 15 healthy people. A foot scan device (RSScan) with a sampling rate of 300 Hz was used to record plantar pressure variables. An attempt was made to walk correctly on the 18-meter path to record the pressure of the soles of the feet. Independent t-test was used for statistical analysis of plantar pressure variables of two groups at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Peak pressure values in the areas of the toe 1 (P=0.002), toe 2-5 (P=0.003), first metatarsal bone (P=0.052), second metatarsal bone (P=0.028), third metatarsal bone (P=0.009), fourth metatarsal bone (P=0.004), fifth metatarsal bone (P=0.001), midfoot (P=0.001), medial heel (0.001) P =), the lateral heel (P = 0.001) of the left foot was significantly greater in obese group than that healthy group.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, obese teenagers have more peak plantar pressure than their healthy peers, which makes these people prone to more structural injuries.
