The Effect of Core Training on Agility, Explosive Strength and Balance in Young Female Volleyball Players
Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the effect of core training on agility, explosive strength and balance in young female volleyball players. 20 young female volleyball players volunteered to participate in the study. Vertical jump, counter movement jump, pro-agility and dynamic balance tests were applied to all volleyball players before and after the core-training program. The athletes were selected randomly and divided into two groups as study group (n=10) and control group (n=10). The study group performed core exercises added to the beginning of the training sessions for 8 weeks (3days/week) in addition to volleyball training. The control group, on the other hand, continued volleyball training alone. At the end of 8 weeks, the tests applied in the pre-test were repeated and analyzed for all participants in order to determine the effect of core training on agility, explosive strength and balance parameters. In the statistical analysis of the study, Kurtosis-Skewness test was used to determine the normal distribution of the data. Mixed Anova and two-independent independent-samples t-test were used to make in-group and between-group comparisons. During the study, the level of significance was accepted as 0.05. A statistically significant difference was found in the balance precision index, static vertical jump (cm), counter movement jump (cm) and pro-agility agility test (sec) parameters when comparing the study and control groups. As a result, core exercises performed in addition to volleyball training appear to have a positive effect on agility, explosive strength and balance performances.

Genç Kadın Voleybolcularda Core Antrenmanlarının Çeviklik, Patlayıcı Kuvvet ve Denge Parametreleri Üzerine Etkisi
Abstract
Bu çalışma genç kadın voleybolcularda core antrenmanlarının çeviklik, patlayıcı kuvvet ve denge parametreleri üzerine etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmaya 20 gönüllü genç kadın voleybolcu katılmıştır. Tüm voleybolculara çalışmanın başında (ön testlerde) dikey sıçrama, yaylanarak sıçrama, pro-agility çeviklik testi ve dinamik denge testleri uygulanmıştır. Sporcular kura yöntemi ile seçilerek çalışma ve kontrol grubu olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Çalışma grubunu oluşturan 10 sporcu voleybol antrenmanlarına ek olarak 8 hafta core antrenmanlarına katılmıştır. Kontrol grubunu oluşturan 10 sporcu ise sadece voleybol antrenmanlarına devam devam etmiştir. Core antrenmanları 8 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün olacak şekilde voleybol antrenmanlarından önce uygulanmıştır. 8 haftanın sonunda core antrenmanlarının çeviklik, patlayıcı kuvvet ve denge parametreleri üzerine etkisini belirleyebilmek amacıyla ön testte uygulanan testler tüm katılımcılara tekrar edilerek analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın istatistiksel analizlerinde öncelikle verilerin normal dağılımlarının belirlenmesinde Kurtosis-Skewness testi kullanılmıştır. Grup içi ve gruplar arası karşılaştırılmaların yapılması için eşleştirilmiş bağımsız iki örneklem independent-samples t testi ve karışık desen anova testi yapılmıştır. Çalışma süresince anlamlılık düzeyi 0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çalışma ve kontrol grubu karşılaştırılmasında denge hassasiyeti indeksi, statik dikey sıçrama (cm), yaylanarak dikey sıçrama (cm) ve pro-agility çeviklik testi (sn) parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak; voleybol antrenmanlarına ek olarak uygulanan core antrenmanlarının çeviklik, patlayıcı kuvvet ve denge performansları üzerine olumlu yönde etkisi görülmektedir.
