Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of conventional and suspension strength training on selected motoric skills in individuals who exercise regularly. A total of 30 men with a mean age of 36.53 years participated in the study voluntarily. The participants were divided into two groups as traditional strength group (TSG, n=15) and suspension strength group (SSG, n=15). Height, body weight, body mass, push-up, sit-up, plank, CMJ, y-balance and 1TM strength tests were performed before and after two different 8-week strength training programmes. The data were analysed using SPSS 26 package programme. After the normality assumption test, since the data showed normal distribution, Paired Samples T Test was used in the comparison of two dependent groups. As a result of the analyses, a statistically significant difference was found in BMI, push-ups, sit-ups, CMJ, bench press and squat 1TM values (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was found in BMI, push-ups, sit-ups, plank, balance right and left foot, bench press and squat 1RM values (p>0,05). In the posttest comparison between the groups, a significant difference was observed only in the plank test (p>0.05). As a result of the study, it was determined that strength exercises (push-ups, squats, and sit-ups) applied on non-fixed surfaces showed more improvement than traditional strength training, although not statistically significant. In plank performance, there was an improvement in favour of the SKG group.

Öz

Bu çalışma, düzenli egzersiz yapan bireylerde geleneksel ve süspansiyon kuvvet antrenmanlarının seçili motorik becerileri üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya yaş ortalamaları 36,53 olan toplam 30 erkek gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar geleneksel kuvvet grubu (TSG, n=15), süspansiyon kuvvet grubu (SSG, n=15) olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Katılımcılara 8 haftalık iki farklı kuvvet antrenmanı öncesi ve sonrası boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kütlesi, şınav, mekik, plank, CMJ, y-denge ve 1TM kuvvet testleri uygulanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 26 paket program kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Normallik varsayım testinden sonra veriler normal dağılım gösterdiği için bağımlı iki grup karşılaştırmasında Paired Samples T Testi kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda SSG ön-son test verilerinde; VKİ, şınav, mekik, CMJ, bench press ve squat 1TM değerlerinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p>0,05). TSG ön-son test verilerinde; VKİ, şınav, mekik, plank, denge sağ ve sol ayak, bench press ve Squat 1RM değerlerinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p>0,05). Gruplar arası son test karşılaştırmasında ise sadece plank testinde anlamlı farklılık görülmüştür (p>0,05). Çalışma sonucunda sabit olmayan yüzeylerde yapılan kuvvet egzersizlerinin (şınav, squat ve mekik) geleneksel kuvvet antrenmanlarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmasa da daha fazla gelişim gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Plank performansında ise SKG grubunun lehine bir gelişim vardır.
