Background. Instead of different measurements of physical performances such as postural control, strength, and flexibility, studies investigating many abilities such as the harmony between these abilities and body segments simultaneously with the test FMS results and different physical relationships were performed. Meaningful results and other relationships between COD, FMS, and ...

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 3 different warm-up phases on endurance performance. Method: The subjects in U-15 and U-17 soccer players participated in the study. Athletes were made to perform 3 different warm-up phases including traditional, 1x5 minutes 5:5 SSG and 1x5 minutes SSG plus 40+40 m sprint lasting 20 minutes in total. After each warm-up phase, the intensity of the warm-up was recorded with the degree of rate of perceived exertion (RPE) with a Borg scale of 20, and endurance performances of the athletes were determined by applying 30-15 intermittent fitness test (30-15IFT). RPE, maximal aerobic running speed (MAS) and maximum oxygen consumption capacity (VO2max) were determined after 30-15IFT. Results: While there was a significant difference between the RPE values after warm-up, MAS and VO2max values after 30-15IFT (p0.05). In U-17 team athletes, statistical significance was obtained between RPE after 3 different warm-ups, RPE after 30-15IFT, MAS and VO2max values (p

Bu çalışmanın amacı sadece bölgesel olarak quadriceps-hamstring (BFR) ve tüm vücuda uygulanan (calf, hamstring, quadriceps, adductor ve latisimusdorsi) foam roller (TFR) uygulamalarının quadriceps ve hamstring (H:Q) 1 Tekrar maksimal (1TM) kuvvet üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya Türkiye bölgesel amatör Liginde futbol oynayan toplam 14 gönüllü sporcu katılım gösterdi (Yaş: 20.8±3.9, Boy: 1.78±.054, Kg: 64.5±9.6, Vücut kütle indeksi: 20.2±2.5). Sporculara ilk aşamada BFR uygulamaları 2x30 saniye olacak şekilde H:Q kas gruplarına uygulatıldı ve ardından 1TM kuvvet ölçümleri tükeninceye kadar uygulatıldı. 3 gün sonra FR uygulaması tüm vücuda 2x30 saniye uygulandı ve ardından sporcular 1TM kuvvet testini tükeninceye kadar gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmanın istatistiksel analizlerinde verilerin normal dağılım uygunluğuna göre paired sample t-testi ve wilcoxon sıralı işaretler testi uygulanıp daha sonrasında etki büyüklüğü hesaplandı. Sonuç olarak; BFR uygulamalarına göre TFR uygulamalarının H:Q 1TM kuvveti üzerine olumlu etkisi ortaya çıkarttığı görülmüştür (p <0.05). Bu araştırmanın sonuçları antrenörlere sporcularının 1TM kuvvet ölçümleri öncesinde tüm vücuda uygulayacakları FR uygulamaları sonrasında maksimal kuvvet sonuçlarından daha fazla verim alabilmeleri konusunda bilgiler verebilmektedir.

Core exercises are typically performed in the horizontal plane, whereas athletic activities such as running, jumping, and change of direction (COD) occur in both vertical and horizontal planes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of static core exercises performed in the vertical and horizontal planes on physical performance. Twenty-four female handball players voluntarily participated in the study and were randomly assigned to either a vertical static core (VSC) exercise group (n=12; age: 17,75±0,99 years, height: 171,00±8,66 cm, weight: 66,08±5,97 kg) or a horizontal static core (HSC) exercise group (n=12; age: 17,75±0,75 years, height: 166,75±13,71 cm, weight: 63,33±6,74 kg). A two-group experimental design with a pretest-posttest model was employed. The core exercise protocol consisted of prone plank, side plank (right and left), supine bridge, and bird dog exercises, performed three times per week for eight weeks. Before and after the intervention, participants were evaluated for isometric core strength, 5-20 meter linear sprint performance, vertical jump height, and three different COD performance tests. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test to assess the normality of the distribution. Paired samples t-tests were used to analyze differences between the groups’ pretest and posttest results based on normality assumptions. For between-group comparisons, independent samples t-test was used. The results revealed no statistically significant differences between the VSC and HSC groups in terms of post-exercise performance improvements (p>0.05). However, significant improvements in physical performance parameters were observed within both groups from pre- to post-intervention (p

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of educational games including perception, decision making and reaction skills on agility and reaction skills. Methods: A total of 24 young female wrestling athletes who regularly train 5 times a week were included in the study (Training Group= age: 20,08±2,19 year, height: 1,60±5,33 cm, body weight: 59,50±10,38 kg, bmi: 22,94±3,19, Control Group= age: 17,83±2,43 year, height: 1,62±,07 cm, body weight: 59,61±11,61 kg, bmi: 22,43±3,50). The training group was asked to play 8-week educational games involving perception, decision-making and reaction skills for 30 minutes in the classroom environment without much effort before routine wrestling training. Visual hand reaction (dominant, non-dominant and mixed hand), Y-Reactive and Speedcourt® agility tests were performed before and after the training sessions. Results: Paired sample t test was used for intra-group comparison analyses and independent sample t test analyses were used for comparison statistics of data between 2 groups. The Y-Reactive agility of the training group was statistically significant (p
